Target Plaza South stands as a 33-story high-rise located in the heart of Minneapolis, finalized in 2001. It functions as the main corporate office for Target Corporation. The structure is situated just a few blocks away from the original location of Target's predecessor, Dayton's, which operated there from 1902 until its closure in 2001.
Description
The building was conceived by the Minneapolis-based architectural firm Ellerbe Becket. It is linked by a walkway on the eighth floor to the adjacent 14-story Target Plaza North. At street level, it includes retail outlets, while three subterranean levels provide parking. The upper stories are distinguished by a dynamic lighting installation designed by 3M, which frequently alters its display, producing a prominent nighttime light spectacle visible across the Minneapolis skyline.
Arson attempt
During the August 2020 unrest known as the false rumors riot, individuals forcibly entered the premises, igniting a fire in the mailroom area and attempting to start another blaze near the main entrance. In December 2020, Shador T.C. Jackson, Victor D. Edwards, and Leroy L.P. Williams were formally charged with arson related to these events.
