State and federal fire investigators are looking into a suspected arson early Sunday morning.
The blaze broke out at the three story building in the 8400 block of Wayzata Boulevard in Golden Valley, and was brought under control fairly quickly.
But not before several businesses sustained heavy damage. Among them, conservative organizations Center of the American Experiment, Upper Midwest Law Center and Take Charge.
A motive has not been released by investigators which include the FBI, ATF and the Minnesota state fire marshall's office.
Nobody was hurt and so far there are no arrests.
