The Northstar Center, located in downtown Minneapolis, features this exterior walkway. The building, completed in 1960, was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, who also designed the World Trade Center towers. The Northstar Center was one of the first mixed-use developments in Minneapolis, intended to revitalize the city's central business district. The walkway connects various parts of the complex and provides pedestrian access, reflecting the mid-century modern architectural style prevalent at the time of its construction.
