Canadian Pacific Plaza is a 383-ft (117 m) tall skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was completed in 1960 and has 28 floors. It is the 21st-tallest building in the city. It is the first major post-World War II skyscraper built in Minneapolis. It is also the tallest building completed in the 1960s. The New York Life Insurance Building was demolished to make way for this building. A skyway connects the building to the Rand Tower, 501 Marquette, and US Bank Plaza.

The building was previously known as One Financial Plaza. Before that, it was the headquarters for First Bank System.[1] In August 2012, the building was renamed when the Canadian Pacific Railway moved its United States headquarters and 400 employees out of 501 Marquette, also known as the Soo Line Building City Apartments, next door.[2]
