Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons, Corporate headquarters skyscraper in downtown Milwaukee, United States
The Northwestern Mutual Tower is a modern office building in downtown Milwaukee with 32 floors and curved glass facades. The structure features a three-story glass entrance hall that connects the building to an interior commons area with gardens and meeting spaces.
The building was constructed after demolishing the previous 16-story structure and completed in 2017. This new development marked a significant modernization of the downtown business district.
The tower creates a central gathering space for people through its commons area, which includes gardens and public spaces where visitors can spend time. This open design reflects how modern workplaces try to blend professional and social functions together.
The building is accessible by public transit and has several entrances for visitors. The interior commons area with gardens is open to the public during business hours.
The foundation was poured in one of Wisconsin's largest continuous concrete pours during construction. This technical achievement remains unknown to most visitors but demonstrates the complexity involved in building modern skyscrapers.
