60 South Sixth is a tall office building and shopping area in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. It has 40 floors and is located along Nicollet Mall. This building used to be the main office in the U.S. for RBC Wealth Management. They moved to a new building in 2022.
The building has had a few names over the years. It was first known as Dain Rauscher Plaza. This name came from a company called Dain Rauscher Wessels, which helped people buy and sell stocks and make investments. Later, a company called the Royal Bank of Canada bought Dain Rauscher Wessels. After that, the building was called RBC Plaza. Now, it is known as 60 South Sixth.
Connecting to the City
This building is special because it connects to Minneapolis's skyway system. The skyway system is like a network of enclosed bridges that let people walk between buildings without going outside. This is very helpful, especially during cold Minnesota winters! 60 South Sixth has three different connections to this skyway system.
