History

The developer, Irgens Development Partners, purchased a 20-story building and a parking lot as the site for this high-rise. On November 17, 2017 demolition of the existing structures began.[5] Construction began in December 2017. The total cost of the BMO project was $175 million.[6] It is one of the tallest office towers in Milwaukee.[7]

The construction encountered delays such as a water lateral break which flooded the lower floors of the building. In January 2020 The building's developer Irgens fired the general contractor J.H. Findorff & Son and hired another builder, Pepper Construction, to finish the building.[8]

The BMO Financial Center was designed by Kahler Slater. It is a glass tower.[9]
