Its name comes from its address: 33 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis. It was completed in 1983〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=33 South Sixth )〕 as headquarters for International Multifoods Corporation which occupied the structure until 1997 when it moved to suburban Wayzata. Although the corporate offices relocated, the name remained until 2003 under the terms of its lease. Adjacent to the tower is Minneapolis City Center Mall which occupies the ground level, sky way, and third levels. == Description == 33 South Sixth Street is a 52-story office building located in the heart of Minneapolis's 64-square block skyway system. Construction on the building began in 1981 and it opened in 1983 as one of the tallest buildings in Minneapolis. Current tenants include Target Corporation, and law firms Meagher & Geer, and Stoel Rives. The typical floors are for a total of of office space and in the retail mall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://shorenstein.com/portfolio/investments/property?id=6299#prop_descr )〕 The attached Minneapolis City Center Mall consists of a retail mall, renovated in 2005, with six skyway connections, the Minneapolis Marriott at City Center, a 583-room full-service four star hotel, and a 687-stall parking garage. The Mall is anchored by Fogo de Chao, Rosa Mexicano, Sports Authority, and Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th opening in mid 2016. The mall also includes a mix of national retail tenants including Brooks Brothers, Allen Edmonds, General Nutrition Center, UPS, Lee Ann Chin, and others. The exterior of the building is faced with precast concrete panels tinted light brown. The east and west facades consist of four wide bays, divided by pilasters which extend to become the spandrel panels. Each wide bay is further divided into three smaller bays with a square window. The north and south facades consist of seven bays with only the first and last being divided. The five central bays are wider with dark-tinted glass set into dark frames. The precast panels extend to cover the retail pod which does little to make the structure more visually appealing, and might even do it a disservice by making it appear more bulky than it really is. Architecture critic Larry Millett calls it a "big architectural oaf" and adds that the precast concrete panel cladding is "designed, quite successfully, to achieve maximum unattractiveness." The design of the tower is very similar to One HSBC Center in Buffalo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「33 South Sixth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
