The address numbers 5001 hang damaged and partially peeled from the exterior of the former Southgate Office Tower in Bloomington, Minnesota. Shot during the late-afternoon winter light, the sign shows the wear of a building already deep into demolition. The brick façade, fencing, and scattered debris reflect the final stages of teardown at the long-vacant 1960s-era tower that once stood near I-494 and Portland Avenue.

Bloomington, Demolition, Southgate
The Southgate Office Tower in Bloomington, Minnesota, stands with its vertical concrete panels and boarded-up windows in the final weeks before demolition. Built in the 1960s as part of a broader commercial corridor near I-494 and Portland Avenue, the building had become long vacant by the 2010s. Its distinctive mid-century façade—once a recognizable landmark for drivers on the interstate—shows stripped interiors and exposed structural elements as crews prepare the site for redevelopment.

Construction equipment and twisted debris surround the former Southgate entrance canopy as crews continue dismantling the long-vacant tower near I-494 in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Southgate complex, once part of a mid-century office corridor, is being cleared after years of declining occupancy, making way for new redevelopment in one of the metro’s busiest commercial zones. The exposed framework and scattered metal panels highlight the final stages of the structure’s removal.

A partially dismantled mid-century office tower stands open to the winter light in Bloomington, Minnesota, as demolition crews continue taking down the long-vacant structure. The building’s exposed interior and collapsed debris field reflect the broader wave of suburban redevelopment that has reshaped commercial corridors near I-494 and the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport. Heavy equipment rests at the base of the tower, marking another step in clearing the site for future use amid changing regional land-use patterns.

A large pencil sculpture stands partly buried in fresh snow near Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. The piece—well-known to neighborhood walkers and cyclists—sits on the lawn of a private residence and has become a quiet local landmark. Framed by stone steps, evergreens, and early-season snowfall, it reflects the eclectic public-facing art found throughout the surrounding residential areas of the Chain of Lakes.
