The Raymond James Experience Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a 40,000 SF global hub for events, training, and connection, designed to embody the investment firm’s people-centric culture.
Inspired by European salons of the Enlightenment period, the center blends timeless materials and detailing with a modern, regionally inspired palette to create elegant yet inviting spaces that encourage conversation and collaboration. Flexible venues—from a 400-person event hall to intimate meeting rooms and lounges—are supported by movable furnishings, a full catering kitchen, and generous circulation that enhance adaptability and flow. Anchored by a vaulted gallery showcasing the art collection of former CEO Tom James, the design integrates elements of water and movement, celebrating the coastal setting while reflecting Raymond James’s legacy of sophistication, hospitality, and innovation.
