Northstar Center is an office building and hotel complex in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota developed in the early 1960s. It opened in 1963 as the first mixed-use development in Minneapolis that offered office, retail, entertainment, and hotel functions. It consisted of three separate buildings: the Cargill Building, Northstar Inn, and the Pillsbury Company Building. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 for its significance in community planning and development.Northstar Center occupies most of the city block bounded by South Sixth Street, Second Avenue South, South Seventh Street, and Marquette Avenue. The exception is a low-rise building on the northwest corner built as a bank and opened in 1949. The oldest part of the complex is the Pillsbury Building, which is thirteen stories high, built of reinforced concrete, and clad in stone. The Pillsbury Building was substantially modified in the 1960s to include it in Northstar Center, receiving additions to the seventh through thirteenth floors above the parking ramp.: 17  The 1960s development included a hotel on the southeast corner, historically known as the Northstar Inn and now part of the Hotel Indigo chain; the Cargill Building on the southwest corner; and a parking ramp occupying the second through sixth floors. The first floor of the hotel includes retail space and the hotel lobby, while the first floor and part of the second floor of the Cargill Building house commercial retail spaces. Above the parking garage, the seventh floor (shared between the Cargill Building and the hotel) houses offices and banquet rooms, and then the Cargill Building houses corporate tenants on the eighth through 17th floors. : 15–16 The building is also notable for its skyways connecting it to neighboring buildings. The skyway crossing Seventh Street to Baker Center is the oldest surviving skyway in the system, while another skyway crossed Marquette Avenue to the Northwestern National Bank Building. That skyway was burned in the Minneapolis Thanksgiving Day fire in 1982, and when the new Norwest Center was built, the replacement skyway was connected to the former Midwest Federal Savings and Loan building instead of the Cargill Building. A later skyway connected Northstar Center to Capella Tower.: 16, 20 Walkin' Dog was located in Northstar Center.

Capella Tower (also 225 South Sixth) is an office skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The building opened in 1992 as First Bank Place, replacing One Financial Plaza as the headquarters for First Bank System. In 1997, First Bank System acquired US Bancorp and changed the name of the building to US Bancorp Place. The headquarters of US Bancorp moved into the US Bancorp Center in 2000, whereupon the tower changed to 225 South 6th Street. In March 2009, the building took its present name. The ranking of the building as the tallest in Minneapolis is in dispute. The IDS Center is usually said to be taller by one foot, even by the owners of Capella Tower. It was initially said to be built one foot shorter out of respect for the IDS Center; however, in 2005, it was revealed that contractors had surreptitiously added 14 inches (36 centimeters) of height to Capella, therefore making it taller than the main roof of IDS Center. In February 2005, the IDS counted a 16-foot-tall (5-meter) window washing garage built on its roof in 1979 as part of its actual height, making it 14 ft (4.3 m) taller than Capella Tower. This ambiguity between official measurements and public relations statements might be due in some part to the "halo" that extends out from the roof, which is apparently included in the building's official height (though this is unclear).The IDS is taller on two measures. The IDS's communications spires add a significant amount of height making it 910 ft (280 m), and it remains the tallest building in Minneapolis if measured by number of stories (57 vs. 56; actually tied for first with neighbor Wells Fargo Center).Capella Tower is connected to the Minneapolis Skyway System and has 1.4 million square feet (130,000 m2). of office space.

The Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in Minnesota. It originated as the Minneapolis Tribune in 1867 and the competing Minneapolis Daily Star in 1920. During the 1930s and 1940s Minneapolis's competing newspapers were consolidated, with the Tribune published in the morning and the Star in the evening. They merged in 1982, creating the Star and Tribune, and it was renamed to Star Tribune in 1987. After a tumultuous period in which the newspaper was sold and re-sold and filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009, it was purchased by local businessman Glen Taylor in 2014.The Star Tribune serves Minneapolis and is distributed throughout the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, the state of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. It typically contains a mixture of national, international and local news, sports, business and lifestyle content. Journalists from the Star Tribune and its predecessor newspapers have won seven Pulitzer Prizes, most recently winning for Breaking News in 2021. The newspaper's headquarters is in downtown Minneapolis. As of September 2021, according to the Alliance for Audited Media, the Star Tribune is the third largest daily newspaper and fourth largest Sunday newspaper by total paid print circulation in the United States.

Walkin' Dog was an American hot dog stand located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Owned by Dave Magnuson, the restaurant had been located inside the first floor food court of the Northstar Center office complex from 1991 to 2023, though it relocated to a different retail space within the same building in 2021. The restaurant's menu consisted of mostly hot dogs, made with Vienna sausage and including Chicago-style, in addition to nachos, pretzels, and ice cream. It was frequently cited by local publications as one of the most affordable dining options in the Minneapolis Skyway System. Following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and nearby George Floyd protests, the restaurant experienced a significant loss in customers beginning in 2020, and as a result of Northstar Center's renovation project, Walkin' Dog closed on April 21, 2023. The following year, Magnuson announced the restaurant would reopen following the completion of renovations.

The Minneapolis Skyway System is an interlinked collection of enclosed pedestrian footbridges that connect various buildings in 80 full city blocks over 9.5 miles (15.3 km) of Downtown Minneapolis, enabling people to walk in climate-controlled comfort year-round. The skyways are owned by individual buildings in Minneapolis, and as such they do not have uniform opening and closing times. The 11 miles of skyway are comparable to the Houston tunnel system, the systems in Canadian cities such as Toronto's PATH, Montreal's Underground City, Calgary's 11-mile +15 system and the 8-mile Edmonton Pedway system. The Minneapolis skyways connect the second or third floors of various office towers, hotels, banks, corporate and government offices, restaurants, and retail stores to the Nicollet Mall shopping district, the Mayo Clinic Square, and the sports facilities at Target Center, Target Field and U.S. Bank Stadium. Several condominium and apartment complexes are skyway-connected as well, allowing residents to live, work, and shop downtown without having to leave the skyway system.
