The Kilroy Stars

This holiday season, The Kilroy Stars will once again illuminate communities as a gift to our regions to express hope in the year ahead.

PROPERTIES FEATURING A STAR

Indeed Tower

Austin, TX

Situated in the epicenter of Austin's CBD, Indeed Tower delivers a vibrant mixed-use environment with a prominent 6th Street address. Indeed Tower is Kilroy's first property in the Austin market, and we are thrilled to showcase the Star to this community. Mixing it up a bit, we are bringing it down to people-scale and placing it at ground level within the newly renovated outdoor space. We will activate the areas with partnerships throughout the season.

2100 Kettner

Little Italy, San Diego, CA

We are bringing the sparkle to our jewel of a property, 2100 Kettner, in the heart of Little Italy. Inspired by the neighborhood's history and creative energy, the building reflects an artful blend of amenities, outdoor spaces, and large open floors. With some of the best retailers and chefs in town, Little Italy is the place to play for San Diego.

Aero

Long Beach, CA

Located along highway 405 and visible from the air, Aero Long Beach is the place to be (and see!) as we've recently reimagined the property to better support today's workforce. As a result, Aero is an award-winning campus with a community feel. The property-wide renovation includes enhanced lobbies, open-air gathering spaces, large-scale art installations by the iconic David Flores, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, and a new grab-n-go cafe operated by Every Table. Featured on top of the garage, The Kilroy Star can be seen from many vantage points, bringing radiance and splendor to the neighborhood.

ILLUMINATING
COMMUNITIES

A series of light sculptures will collaboratively illuminate the sky. The Kilroy Stars will be located at three highly-visible properties across our portfolio. On this second annual celebration, Kilroy is excited to reveal the Kilroy Stars at two new unique communities, Austin and Long Beach.

The Kilroy Stars span 20 feet in diameter and are outfitted with more than 30,000 individually programmable LED bulbs. The sparkling structures may be seen from miles away and will be configured to oscillate in various rhythms and patterns of dynamic light.

The ornate Stars are designed and built by Engineered Artworks, an Oakland-based design and fabrication studio that specializes in extraordinary custom art installations, large-scale immersive experiences, and imaginative feats of engineering using metal, light & fire. They have been commissioned by The Smithsonian, and brought spectacles to Burning Man and other public venues around the country.

BEHIND THE

SCENES

KILROY'S COMMITMENT TO ART

Kilroy Realty has a love affair with great art. They believe in art as an alluring peek into the collective cultural consciousness—an endeavor to convey and to connect. Their properties are no different. Kilroy’s buildings are designed to reflect sophisticated environmental expressions, and the art in these spaces are carefully curated to complement that aesthetic. The result is inspirational, beautiful places to inspire imagination and spur creativity. In addition to its latest pop-up installation, The Kilroy Star, the company has a robust art program, with over 300 pieces throughout its West Coast real estate portfolio, with approximately 50 being public.
