The area surrounding the station was formerly the headquarters of Control Data Corporation.[1] The company's largest office tower still remains and is now the headquarters of HealthPartners.[2]

Immediately to the east of HealthPartners is The Reflections Condominiums, two 17-story residential towers with over 260 dwelling units between them.[3] The Reflections towers were developed by McGough Development and the remainder of the land is now being redeveloped by same as a transit-oriented development including residential dwellings, a hotel, office, and retail space.
