Capella Tower, Commercial skyscraper in Downtown Minneapolis, United States
Capella Tower is a 56-story office building with a distinctive geometric crown at its top, rising prominently in downtown Minneapolis. The glass exterior houses numerous corporate and financial offices throughout its floors.
The building was completed in 1992 by architects Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, marking a pivotal moment in the financial district's growth. This addition significantly shaped the city's modern skyline.
The tower serves as a working hub where thousands of business people spend their days managing deals and operations from offices within its walls.
The tower sits at South Sixth Street and connects directly to the Minneapolis Skyway System, allowing pedestrians to move between downtown buildings under cover. This linkage proves especially helpful during winter weather.
The crown at the top uses a geometrical design that makes it appear to shift shape depending on where you view it from around the city. This optical effect was intentional in the architectural planning.
