The Skylift at Top of the Rock in Midtown Manhattan is open to the public! This new open-air attraction is located on the 70th floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The Skylift slowly lifts visitors 900 feet above street level on a revolving platform that rotates counterclockwise for several minutes, offering unobstructed 360-degree views of Manhattan before gradually descending to the Observation Deck. Our team partnered with the Tishman Speyer Team and experiential designer, THG Creative, to create this amazing experience for visitors to enjoy spectacular views of NYC. The streamlined design and marble-like tiers were designed to complement Rockefeller Center’s Art Deco architecture. At night, the structure’s 96 LED pixel flutes illuminate in a colorful light show, which can also be customized to commemorate notable dates and holidays. The opening of Skylift also marks the completion of Rockefeller Center’s multi-year, campus-wide revitalization joining The Beam, an interactive photo experience on the 69th floor which opened last year and recreates the famous 1932 photograph “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper.” Congratulations to the entire Top of the Rock Team! Excellent work to all!
