If you’ve ever wanted to lease available office space in the heart of Rockefeller Center, look no further than 30 Rockefeller Plaza or 30 Rock. As the centerpiece of the Rockefeller Center complex in Midtown Manhattan, the building now known as the Comcast Building has plenty of luxurious Class A office space available for rent. 

A modern executive will love working in this environment. Employees will enjoy coming to an office building home to the famous outdoor ice-skating rink, the Top of the Rock observation deck, and the studios of shows like SNL. 

This Art Deco masterpiece was built in 1932 and designed by Raymond Hood. Yet the Tishman Speyer-owned property was renovated in 2014 and offers plenty of modern office space to lease in Midtown rather than the usual outdated Midtown office building.  

Companies working in the media and communications industry are known to love leasing office space here. However, large corporations, law firms, and financial services companies will also find many attractive leasing options at 30 Rock.
