Mr. Klimek said, “The building was an obvious choice for Northwestern Mutual, which had been located across the street at 285 Riverside Avenue for 10 years.  274 Riverside Avenue offered them more prominent river views from a higher floor in a building that has been renovated to accommodate just this cachet of tenant.”
