Gateway District (Minneapolis)

Its borders are not officially designated or recognized, but are visible as the Mississippi River to the northeast, Cedar Lake Trail and the railroad tracks to the northwest, Fifth Avenue South to the southeast.

The district includes a significant part of the Downtown West neighborhood and abuts the North Loop.

A Depression-era renewal attempt brought the Minneapolis Main Post Office (1933) and Pioneer Square, the former of which survives.

The area remains as the historic core of the city, although much of that history was demolished in an Urban Renewal act during the late 1950s.

The development is a 36-story tower dubbed "The Gateway," that will serve as the headquarters for RBC wealth management and contain a Four-Seasons hotel.
