The AEGON Center is a skyscraper in Downtown, Louisville, Kentucky and located at 400 West Market Street. The 35-story, 549-foot high structure was designed by architect John Burgee and was completed in 1993. The building, originally named Capital Holding Center, was later renamed Providian Center and is now named AEGON Center.

Currently the tallest building in the state of Kentucky (which honor will go to Museum Plaza, if built), the building was constructed of reinforced concrete as opposed to the steel construction usual for buildings of its height. A distinctive feature of the building is the Romanesque dome that is illuminated from the interior at night, along with the exterior of the buildings upper floors. The building's lighting is changed from the usual white to a combination of red and green from Thanksgiving Day until New Year's Day.

AEGON Center has 633,650 square feet of leaseable space.[1]
