Rockefeller Apartments, Art Deco residential building in Midtown Manhattan, United States

The Rockefeller Apartments consist of two eleven-story towers facing each other on West 54th and 55th Streets, featuring cylindrical bays protruding from the main structure.

Built between 1935 and 1936 on land from Rockefeller Center construction, the complex contained 138 apartments and was fully leased by October 1936.

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building as a city landmark in 1984 for its International Style design principles.

The first floor houses commercial spaces including restaurants, while residents access their units through separate entrances on both 54th and 55th Streets.

A 7,600-square-foot garden separates the two towers, providing residents with a private outdoor space in the center of Manhattan.

Inception: 1936

Architects: Wallace Harrison, J. André Fouilhoux

Floors above the ground: 11

GPS coordinates: 40.76195,-73.97654
