Description
The building was designed by architects Ellerbe Becket of Minneapolis and was completed in 2001. It is connected via an eighth-floor walkway to the 14-story Target Plaza North and contains retail space on the street level with three levels of parking below ground.[2] The building is notable for the colorful 3M-designed lighting display in its upper floors, which change frequently to present a unique light show that is visible in the Minneapolis skyline at night.[1]
Arson attempt
In August of 2020, during the false rumors riot, the building was broken into by rioters, who set fire to a counter in the mailroom and attempted to start a second fire near the building's entrance. The perpetrators, Shador T.C. Jackson, Victor D. Edwards, and Leroy L.P. Williams were indicted on arson charges in December of 2020.[3]
