1251 Avenue of the Americas

The Exxon Building is located on 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020 on the corner of 50th Street and 6th Avenue. Completed in 1971, the building stands at 54 floors tall and features over 2,400,00 square feet in office space for rent, making it quite an enormous structure. Although an older building, the structure was recently renovated to LEED-EB Silver standards and now offers comfortable space and support. The building sits in the heart of Midtown and subsequently benefits from some of New York’s best amenities. In addition to hundreds of restaurants in close proximity, 1251 6th Ave. benefits from being close to yellow, orange, and red MTA subway lines. The Exxon Building also stands in the heart of a central business district, making it ideal for organizations needing closeness to partner firms or clients. The Exxon Building was originally built as an expansion of Rockefeller Center, with its plans being first drawn by the Rockefeller family’s architect, Wallace Harrison. The Exxon Building is also the second tallest building in the Rockefeller complex, behind only the GE building. Although 1251 Avenue of the Americas is technically one of the tallest buildings in America, it is hard to distinguish because it is flanked on either side by building with similar height. As a result, although it’s as tall as the tallest buildings in the Boston skyline, it is relatively hidden within the swell of New York’s cityscape.
