“Eleven Times Square is a premier property whose exceptional tenant roster, first-class office space and convenient location put it in an excellent position for outstanding long-term performance. When you combine those with the opportunity to continue building relationships with experienced real estate owners and lending partners, you get the kind of transaction that makes a lot of sense for our policyowners,” said Jeffrey Ruidl, CFA, director of Northwestern Mutual Real Estate.

An essential ingredient in maintaining Northwestern Mutual's financial strength and ability to deliver value to it policyowners is the performance of the company's $195 billion general account investment portfolio, whose assets back the company's insurance and annuity products.
