33 South Sixth Street is a 52-story office building located in the heart of Minneapolis's 64-square block skyway system. Construction on the building began in 1981 and it opened in 1983 as one of the tallest buildings in Minneapolis.  It was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and stands 52 stories tall at 204 m. Its name comes from its address: 33 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis. It was completed in 1983 as headquarters for International Multifoods Corporation which occupied the structure until 1997 when it moved to suburban Wayzata. Although the corporate offices relocated, the name remained until 2003 under the terms of its lease.

Since 1985, peregrine falcons have roosted in a hack box on the 51st floor of the building.

From the Midwest Peregrine Falcon Society: Every Spring Peregrine Falcons make their home in our nest box. Through a partnership with the Midwest Peregrine Society, the building's ownership placed what is called a "hackbox" on the eastern facing ledge (51st floor) of the office tower. This was done as part of an effort to repopulate the birds throughout North America starting back in 1985.
