Concrete laid for foundation of Northwestern Mutual's residential tower

MILWAUKEE -- Concrete for the foundation of Northwestern Mutual's residential tower was laid early Wednesday, August 10th.

Starting at 1:00 a.m., crews began working to pour the concrete.

It had to be done early because it is cooler at that time, which would ensure the concrete set properly.

Once it was all poured, the foundation would be 11-feet thick!
