Reflexive subalgebras of $B(X)$

Let $X$ be a reflexive Banach space, and let $B(X)$ denote the set of all bounded linear operators $X\to X$. Does there exist a subalgebra $A\subseteq B(X)$ with the following properties?

  1. A is unital.
  2. A is reflexive as a Banach space.
  3. Every closed maximal left ideal has infinite codimension.
