Southgate Office Tower Before Demolition

📅
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.
