To coincide with the Annual Meeting, the company will hold a sneak peek of the 32-story Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons on Sunday, July 23 in advance of the grand opening in August.
The Atrium joins Northwestern Mutual’s south building, built in 1912-1914, with the new Commons and symbolizes the connection between the company’s historic past and bright future.
The open stairway in the Mason Street Lobby encourages people to take the stairs rather than the escalator, staying true to Northwestern Mutual’s focus on health and wellness.

Construction on the Northwestern Mutual Tower and Commons began in fall 2014 and the building will officially open on August 21, 2017.
Each floor of The Tower has 10-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows to bring in maximum natural light and showcase views of Milwaukee and Lake Michigan.
