Tishman Speyer's recent $3.5 billion refinancing of Rockefeller Center, while significant, comes with a 6.5% interest rate and a much shorter term of 5 years.
Despite net rental revenue being 65% below 2019 levels, Rockefeller Center boasts a 93% leasing rate, surpassing the Chrysler Building's 86%, highlighting its resilience.
The refinancing, the largest for a single office asset, illustrates the challenges in New York's current real estate market, reflecting economic pressures and changing tenant behaviors.
Tishman Speyer's strategy to enhance Rockefeller Center as a tourist destination includes adding retail and improving pedestrian access, a vision solidified by a 2020 commission approval.
