Northwestern Mutual's 550' Tower Begins
Northwestern Mutual building moving ahead, will redefine downtown
Quote:
Milwaukee - It's a big hole in the ground right now, but after this weekend, the Northwestern Mutual building could start taking shape. Contractors poured concrete on the foundation for the new building starting Friday night.
Cement trunks moved in and out of the site. They'll move 10,000 cubic yards of concrete - about the size of an NFL football field that's five feet thick.
"The concrete foundation walls and the whole tower can start to come out of the ground," Rick Schmidt, from CG Schmidt, said. "This is really step one in getting this whole tower going and getting it out of the ground so people can see it."
