RDO Tower, formerly called Block 9, is a mid-rise, mixed-use tower in the heart of downtown Fargo at the corner of Broadway and Second Avenue North. After 43 years as a surface parking lot, RDO Tower has transformed the Fargo skyline. The project includes headquarters for hundreds of team members of R.D. Offutt Company, ground floor retail, a boutique hotel, restaurant, and residential condominiums.
RDO Tower also includes a programmed community plaza called Broadway Square which is over a half-acre in size and serves as a gathering and celebration space for the region. Seasonal amenities include a skating rink, splash pad, vendor spaces, and a band shell for live performances. Downtown Community Partnership programs the award-winning space to incorporate live music and kid-friendly events, and the green space doubles as an ice skating rink in the winter.
