Strategic relocation to IDS Center unifies new branch location and larger office space in one premier building
Associated Banc-Corp announced it is moving its Minneapolis office to the IDS Center’s 43rd floor at 80 S 8th St. The move is expected to happen in Spring 2026, and construction is expected to start in August 2025.
“The IDS Center is an iconic symbol of Minneapolis—you don’t need an address to know where it is,” said Paul Schmidt, Twin Cities market president at Associated Bank. “As the city continues to experience a renaissance, we’re proud to invest in its momentum by bringing our team to this prominent downtown location while offering enhanced convenience and accessibility for our clients and colleagues.”
Associated Bank will lease the entire 43rd floor of the IDS Center, more than doubling its current footprint at the PwC Tower. The new office will accommodate approximately 100 colleagues across several key business lines, including commercial banking, commercial real estate, and relationship management teams serving clients across the region.
“Minneapolis is a priority market for us, and we’re excited to play a role in drawing people and energy back into the heart of Minneapolis,” said Phillip Trier, executive vice president, head of corporate and commercial banking, Associated Bank. “This expanded footprint reflects our confidence in the city’s future and our commitment to serving clients with greater convenience and capacity.”
Associated Bank continues to grow its presence across the Greater Twin Cities area. Currently under construction, Associated expects to open its newest branch location in the IDS Center Crystal Court by October 2025. In addition, the bank has office space in St. Louis Park, and 15 branches in the Greater Twin Cities area.
