Home Hines was chosen in 1985 by the Norwest Corporation to rebuild its banking headquarters after the old building burned in one of the worst office fires in U.S. history. The impact that Wells Fargo Center, formerly Norwest Center, has had on the community began with its inception, where it has been characterized as a phoenix rising from the ashes. The elegant 57-story Wells Fargo Center, designed by Cesar Pelli, contains a full-block indoor pedestrian promenade that houses a 100-foot-high domed ceiling rotunda on one side and a formal lobby on the other. Upon its completion in 1987, the structure became a powerful new landmark property and redefined the skyline, creating a dramatic and glowing invitation to downtown Minneapolis. The Center won the Urban Land Institute Award for Excellence for Large-Scale Office Development in 1989, BOMA Local Building of the Year Award in 1993, BOMA a Regional Office Building of the Year Award in 1994 and Energy Star in 1999 through 2009. The center is also home to Hines' Minneapolis office.
