List of tallest buildings in Minneapolis

Minneapolis, the largest city in the U.S. state of Minnesota, is home to 190 completed high-rises, 41 of which stand taller than 300 feet (91 m) as of 2026. Of these, 11 have a height greater than 492 ft (150 m). Minneapolis has the second largest skyline in the Midwestern United States, after Chicago, with the second most buildings taller than 300 ft (91 m) or 492 ft (150 m) in the region. The tallest building in Minneapolis is the 57-story IDS Center, which rises 792 feet (241 m) and was designed by architect Philip Johnson. It is also the tallest building in Minnesota. Minneapolis and neighboring Saint Paul form the core of the Twin Cities, a metropolitan area of 3.7 million. Saint Paul has a smaller high-rise skyline of its own, approximately 8 miles east of Downtown Minneapolis. Most of the tallest buildings in Downtown Minneapolis are linked via the Minneapolis Skyway System, the largest pedestrian skywalk system in the world.

The history of skyscrapers in Minneapolis began with the construction of the Lumber Exchange Building, now known as the Edison Building, in 1886; at 165 feet (50 m) and 12 floors, it is often regarded as the first skyscraper in Minnesota and one of the first fire-proof buildings in the country. The Lumber Exchange Building stands as the oldest structure outside of New York City with at least 12 floors. Minneapolis went through a small building boom in the early 1920s. This period saw the construction of the Lumen Technologies Building and the Foshay Tower, which was modelled after the Washington Monument. The Foshay Tower overtook the City Hall as the city's tallest building. Due to the Great Depression, few tall buildings were completed from the 1930s to 1950s.

A more substantial building boom lasted from the 1960s to the early 1990s. When it was completed in 1973, the IDS Center was much taller than any other building in Minneapolis at the time. Minneapolis' skyline grew especially quickly in the 1980s, culminating in the completion of its third tallest building, Wells Fargo Center, in 1988, and its second tallest, Capella Tower, in 1992. Both structures are some of the city's most prominent examples of postmodern architecture, and at 775 and 776 ft, they nearly matched the height of the IDS Center. Several residential towers such as the Brutalist Riverside Plaza and Churchill Apartments were built as well. In the 21st century, notable projects include the residential towers of Eleven on the River and The Carlyle, both along the Mississippi River, with Eleven on the River being the tallest residential building in the state when it was completed in 2022.

Most of Minneapolis' tall buildings are located in or around Downtown Minneapolis in Central, southwest of the Mississippi River. Recent additions have extend the city's high-rise footprint eastwards to Elliot Park and to Downtown East, with Eleven on the River being the tallest building there. These neighborhoods surround U.S. Bank Stadium, home to the Minnesota Vikings football team. The downtown skyline has also begun to expand westwards past Interstate 394, with the 418 ft (127 m) North Loop Green completed in North Loop in 2024. Across the river, the Nicollet Island/East Bank area has seen a number of new high-rise condominiums, such as the 26-story Rafter in 2019 and the 25-story The Expo in 2020.
