The downtown Minneapolis skyline, featuring prominent structures such as the IDS Center and Capella Tower, is illuminated at night, as viewed from the Martin Olav Sabo Bridge in February 2024. Completed in 1972, the IDS Center was the tallest building in Minneapolis for decades, serving as a key commercial hub. The Capella Tower, finished in 1992, further defines the city's financial district. The Martin Olav Sabo Bridge, opened in 2007, is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that forms a crucial link in the Midtown Greenway, an important urban trail system.
