About Rockefeller Center
Located in Midtown Manhattan, in New York City, the Rockefeller Center is an 80 year old, high-end commercial complex, spread across 22 acres of urban streets, with 19 high-rise buildings, contracted by the Rockefeller family. The acquired land, handed over to Rockefeller on lease in 1928, led to the development of the present commercial plaza, which neared completion in 1939. The conceptual layout of the Rockefeller Center, included two zones, the 14 art deco style buildings, and the five international-style buildings.
The Rockefeller project brought about a huge turnout during the economic slump in the early 90s, in the United States, and stands declared as a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Home to eateries, banking institutions, health centers, art museums, shops, fitness studios, dry cleaning services, hotels, galleries, sculptural art, and many more, the Rockefeller Center is perfectly adapted to suit the consumer needs of a modern lifestyle. A family friendly zone, these amenities attract visitors all-round the year, other than the commercial avenues.
An important landmark of New York City, the Rockefeller Center is famous for art deco paintings, the central plaza, the Radio city, the Ice Skating Rink, the NBC Studio tour, and the Rock and Doll Playhouse. A former botanical garden, the Rockefeller Center has building facades of Indiana Limestone, unfolding over six blocks of office space measuring 17,000,000 square feet. Some of the major buildings at Rockefeller Center are the Rockefeller Plaza, La Maison Franรงaise, British Empire Building, and the Avenue of the Americas, Radio City Music Hall, and the International Buildings.
