Rockefeller Group is a privately held real estate developer, owner, and operator headquartered in New York City. Established in 1928 by John D. Rockefeller Jr. as the Metropolitan Square Corporation, the firm originated with the development of Rockefeller Center, one of Manhattan's most recognized real estate projects. The company has operated for nearly a century, focusing on office, multifamily, industrial, and data center properties across major U.S. markets. Rockefeller Group was acquired by Mitsubishi Estate, a member of the Mitsubishi Group, in 1989, and continues to function as a subsidiary of one of the world's largest real estate investment and development organizations.
The firm maintains an ownership and management position in premier office space in Midtown Manhattan, concentrated in the western corridor of Rockefeller Center along Sixth Avenue. Through multiple regional development offices in markets including Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Denver, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., the company oversees substantial projects in various stages of planning or construction. Asset classes in the current pipeline include multifamily residential, industrial and logistics facilities, office buildings, and data centers.
Rockefeller Group's investment strategy centers on developing and holding high-quality assets in primary and secondary markets, with an emphasis on mixed-use and amenity-driven properties. Recent developments include Alina, a multi-story residential and mixed-use tower in Atlanta's Midtown district featuring rental units and office space. The firm also pursues industrial logistics developments, often incorporating Foreign Trade Zone designations to provide cost advantages for tenants engaged in import and export activities.
