BUILDING THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL TOWER AND COMMONS

A behind-the-scenes look at the construction of the largest building by square-footage and second tallest building in Wisconsin.

This 1.1 million-square-foot mega project stands at 32-stories tall (550 feet), with a 3-story common space area. The project team, in partnership with Northwestern Mutual and Hines, far exceeded the 40% RPP and 25% SBE requirement respectively – helping provide jobs to under-employed Milwaukee residents and Wisconsin-based minority and small business-owned companies. This project will forever change the landscape of downtown Milwaukee, bringing 1,900 new jobs to the city.
