As the iconic site of one of the most popular Christmas sights in the U.S., the Rockefeller Center and its neighboring Sixth Avenue surrounding is one of the most visible and competitive office submarkets in Midtown Manhattan.

The Center itself occupies a 22-acre plot of land between 48th and 51st streets, consisting of 19 commercial buildings—14 of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places— with a total of 17 million square feet of office space available. Factoring in the buildings around the center, the submarket’s inventory edges closer to the 40 million-mark. The area’s quality office space and wide variety of vanity addresses has kept vacancy low, hovering just above 8 percent.
