Knight Insurance Group has been insuring the Toledo Region for more than 150 years! Headquartered on Erie Street in Downtown Toledo, the agency has big plans for 2018.
In mid-2017, the firm announced its plan to acquire the Denver Wholesale Florist shop located next to its current office. It is a win-win for both businesses. In a sweeping plan to renovate, Knight will xpand its office next door, create loft- style living on the top floor, and beautified parking lot that is a focal point as visitors enter downtown Toledo from the interstate. These renovation plans will help Knight continue itslegacy of excellence as the acquisition provides the necessary space to expand its personal Private Client Group and middle-market business department.
The expansion also shows Knight’s commitment to the Warehouse District, a bustling and rejuvenated neighborhood within the downtown. Knight has long supported the Toledo Warehouse District Association, with Diane Keil-Hipp, COO, as its president for the last ten years, and Ken Knight as a long-time board member. Knight has been the major sponsor of Wander the Warehouse District, the annual open house tour, for 15 years.

"We have been in downtown Toledo since our founding in 1859, and in the Warehouse District since 1983, when Ken bought a dilapidated vacant building with a vision for what it could be. We were in the Warehouse District before it was “cool” and we couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. We purchased the Buehler Hardware building next to us several years ago, and now with the Denver Florist building and adjoining parking lot, we will own a significant strip of this block of Erie Street. Everyone who arrives into downtown via Erie will soon begin to see a beautified parking lot and renovated building. It’s going to be beautiful!" - Diane T. Keil-Hipp, COO
