The 50-acre area immediately surrounding the station features the HealthPartners headquarters building, a condominium, a hotel, and several new apartment buildings featuring a coffee shop and grocery store.^[5] Like the nearby American Boulevard Station, it is in close proximity to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
