We will pick and deliver unique real estate news from topics related to architecture regularly sent by GARDE agents from around the world. This time, we introduce the news of the iconic Rockefeller Center renovation in New York.
New York
Rockefeller Center, not only a tourist attraction like observation decks but also the largest retail complex in Manhattan. The $500 million renovation and reform, nearly completed at the end of last year, have transformed the space. Formerly, it was a somewhat hesitant place for tenants to set up shop in dark, winding underground passages, but the renovation was skillfully aligned with the architectural style of the building, making it bright and modern. Various attractive eateries have opened up, including trendy restaurants from downtown and Brooklyn, instead of nationwide fast-food chains. It has become a bustling lunch spot for not only tourists but also people working in the surrounding offices. With flexibility in the vacant spaces and new initiatives such as short-term leasing as pop-up shops for 6 months, they have successfully gathered a variety of intriguing tenants. It has been reborn as an attractive shopping destination for both travelers and New Yorkers.
