Situated on a 96,300-square-foot site, 1251 Avenue of the Americas rises 54 stories to 750 feet in Rockefeller Center.

Developed by The Rockefeller Group as the global headquarters of Exxon Corporation, 1251 was a showcase of quality materials and sophisticated operating efficiency when it was completed in 1972. Since then, the building has evolved to multi-tenant use and has kept at the forefront of technology and business.

The building features a 112-foot-deep landscaped plaza with a large fountain pool. Behind the building is the Garden Park, with seating, food kiosks, a two-story waterwall, and free summer concerts.

The building interior offers 2,292,317 rentable square feet and 32 high-speed passenger elevators. Floors in the six-story base are 57,000 square feet and 40,000 square feet in the tower. Tenant space is virtually column-free, creating exceptional design flexibility, and the four-foot, eight-inch window module allows for a maximum number of perimeter offices.

Mitsui Fudosan USA purchased the building in 1986 from Exxon Corporation and The Rockefeller Group
