Riverside Plaza from the Light Rail Overpass
Riverside Plaza stands tall beyond the METRO Blue Line overpass in the Cedar–Riverside district of Minneapolis. The colorful panels of the 1970s residential towers contrast with the new mid-rise apartments and light rail infrastructure built decades later. This view captures the merging of eras—modern rail transit, Brutalist architecture, and the continuing evolution of one of Minneapolis’s most historically diverse neighborhoods.
