The 8500 Tower is a 24-story high-rise office skyscraper in the city of Bloomington, Minnesota. It stands at a height of 381 feet, making it the 26th-tallest building in the state of Minnesota. It is also the tallest building in Bloomington, as well as in all of the suburban Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.

The building is part of the Normandale Lake Office Park, a five-building office complex located on the north end of Normandale Lake.[1] The complex is considered to be at the center of "downtown" Bloomington - the business district that runs along the southern side of Interstate 494.[2]

The building, along with the rest of Normandale Lake Office Park, was owned by Equity Group Investments from 2012 to 2014, when it was sold to MetLife.[3] The sale was speculated to be the largest in the history of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, though an exact price was not publicly disclosed.[4] In 2019, the property was again put up for sale.[5]
