The 48-story Time & Life Building, developed by The Rockefeller Group in partnership with Time Inc., holds a special place in Rockefeller Center history. Its opening in 1959 marked the start of Rockefeller Center’s expansion to the west side of Avenue of the Americas. |
Designed by Harrison Abramovitz & Harris,the building features numerous functional and aesthetic amenities, including a broad plaza and an inviting fountain pool. |
In 1999 Time Inc. signed a long-term lease to renew its space and expand its presence. Time Inc.’s renewal was the largest real estate transaction signed in New York City in 1999. |
As home to Time, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, People, Money, and other magazines, the Time & Life Building has long been an around-the-clock nerve center for international media. |
With its broad plaza, fountain pool, and greenery, the Time & Life Building offers tenants and visitors alike an inviting urban oasis where they can relax outdoors. |
The underground Rockefeller Center Concourse gives tenants weatherproof access to subways and hundreds of shops and services. In 1989, The Rockefeller Group completed a dramatic upgrade to the western span of the Concourse. |
