The tower was originally proposed in 1969 by the Rauenhorst Corporation. At the time, the plans included a revolving restaurant and a heliport.[2] The Plaza was built in 1974. A turntable was installed for the revolving restaurant, but in 1977, the Rauenhorst Corporation converted the top floor into office space, as they could not find a restaurant tenant.[3][4]
It is currently the 56th tallest building in Minnesota, and was the tallest in Bloomington until 1988, when it was surpassed by the 8500 Tower. It earned a TOBY award in 2012 from the Building Owners and Managers Association of Minneapolis.[5]
After extensive renovations in 2010, the plaza was put up for sale in July 2015.[6] DRA Advisors bought the property in November of that year,[7] and currently owns the building through a joint fund with City Center Realty Partners.[1]
