Challenge
For its 65,000 SF offices at 45 Rockefeller Plaza, Rockefeller Capital Management wanted a workplace that encouraged greater collaboration and connection while establishing a clear relationship between the firm's identity and the historic character of Rockefeller Center. The design needed to accommodate contemporary office requirements within an existing building, balancing an open, connected working environment with the preservation of its distinctive architectural features.
Solution
G&T provided project and cost management for the 65,000 SF workplace designed by LSM. An open-plan concept supports communication across the floor, while exposed columns, concrete slabs and perimeter brick walls celebrate the building’s original structure. The project also included the renovation of an outdoor terrace overlooking Fifth Avenue and St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Outcome
The completed 65,000 SF workplace brings Rockefeller Capital Management's brand into direct conversation with its surroundings. Open-plan offices and shared spaces support collaboration, while exposed structural elements retain the character of the original building. Together with the renovated outdoor terrace overlooking Fifth Avenue and St. Patrick's Cathedral, the project delivers a contemporary working environment distinctly rooted in Rockefeller Center.
