location
Northstar Center is strategically located at the epicenter of the climate-controlled Skyway system, which directly links approximately 80% of all high-rise space within the Minneapolis CBD. Minneapolis’ famous Skyway system was born at Northstar Center, as the first covered walkway in the city was connected to the adjacent Wells Fargo Center site. Decades later, this concept has since grown to what is now the largest connecting enclosed skybridge network in the world, with 9.5 miles of pathways connecting over 80 city blocks. The system connects Northstar Center to offices, retail, restaurants, pro sports facilities, banks and much more throughout downtown.
ABUNDANT ON-SITE COVERED PARKING
Parking for guests can be found in the adjacent Northstar Ramp, conveniently and directly connected via the Skyway System and Northstar Center elevators. Please inquire for most current parking rates and details.
HOTEL PARTNERS
We partner with several nearby hotels to provide premium sleeping room options for meeting and events hosted at Northstar 8. Each hotel partner is conveniently located nearby and is connected to the venue via the downtown Skyway system.
