Jordan Insurance Company (Arabic: شركة التأمين الاردنية) is a Jordanian insurance company based in Amman.[1]
The company is listed on the Amman Stock Exchange's ASE Weighted Index with the symbol "JOIN". 10% of the company's stock is owned by Munich Re, a reinsurance company from Germany.[2]
The Insurance Building
[edit]The company’s headquarters, known locally as the Insurance Building, is one of Amman’s landmark modernist structures and was once the city’s tallest tower.[3] Construction began in the 1950s and finished in 1961.[3] Initiated by the Syrian Bdeir family as a symbol of modernization and progress for the Jordan Insurance Company, it marked Amman’s first high-rise.[3][4]
Designed by Lebanese architect Khalil Khoury, influenced by Modernism, the Bauhaus movement, and early Brutalist architecture, the building showcases mid-century innovation in Jordan.[3] Its three interlocking volumes—a glazed office wing, a vertical circulation core, and a podium integrated into the slope—form a composition that engages the city’s topography.[3]
The structure remains an icon of Amman’s mid-20th-century architectural and economic transformation.[3]
