Saul Ewing LLP has packed up its Minneapolis office and moved into Wells Fargo Center, grabbing space in the 57‑story downtown tower and adding to a streak of national law firms reshuffling where they hang their shingle. The relocation gives the firm a larger, high‑amenity base in the central business district at a time when law firms are hunting for space that will impress clients and help lure top legal talent.
According to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, Minneapolis managing partner Max Bremer said the firm was drawn to the tower’s amenities and its growth potential when deciding to relocate. The outlet reported the move on May 27, 2026.
Saul Ewing’s own locations page now lists the Minneapolis office at 90 South 7th Street, Suite 3900, inside Wells Fargo Center, with the updated contact information reflecting the new digs. This listing appears on the Minneapolis page for Saul Ewing LLP.
Big-name firms stacking into the tower
Saul Ewing is now the third national firm this spring to commit to Wells Fargo Center. Husch Blackwell announced a long-term lease there in April, and Cozen O'Connor disclosed a May lease that will put it on two full floors beginning in 2027.
All of that adds up to a noticeable cluster of big-firm logos in the same skyline address, signaling where higher-end office demand is coalescing.
Building upgrades and owner push
The tower’s latest leasing run follows a sale to a joint venture led by Cross Ocean Partners, Neuberger Berman and Onward Investors, a transaction detailed in a press release. According to PR Newswire, that ownership change has gone hand in hand with a fresh marketing push.
Building manager Hines has been highlighting the tower’s central location and tenant amenities when courting new occupiers, positioning Wells Fargo Center as the kind of high-quality address that can still draw corporate and legal tenants in a choppy office market.
What the move signals for downtown Minneapolis
Local office market data shows that demand is increasingly concentrating in the top tier of downtown buildings, as employers and law firms trim and reconfigure their space. That pattern is laid out in Cushman & Wakefield's Q1 2026 market report.
Brokers say that commitments by national firms like Saul Ewing can help steady daytime activity for street-level businesses, even as hybrid work and elevated vacancy keep shaping how landlords pitch their towers and how tenants think about their next lease.
