Building) is an International style skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Formerly called the Celanese Building, it was completed in 1973 as part of the Rockefeller Center extension, that started in the late 1950s with the Time-Life Building. The Celanese Corporation would later move to Dallas, Texas. Currently, 1211 is owned by an affiliate of Beacon Capital Partners, and leasing is managed by Cushman & Wakefield, Inc., of which the Rockefeller Group was once a major shareholder. The structure has a simple slab-like shape devoid of any decoration; its prosaic façade consisting of vertical alternating limestone and glass stripes. The façade stone piers are supernumerary; there are twice as many of them as structurally necessary. The glass bands are continuous and offer no indication of floor levels. These features ably create the visual lack of scale, so the tower does not look overly bulky.[3]{{stack|float=right|{{Rockefeller Center map|highlight=6}} }} BackgroundThe building was part of the later Rockefeller Center expansion (1960s–1970s) dubbed the "XYZ Buildings".[3] Their plans were first drawn in 1963 by the Rockefeller family's architect, Wallace Harrison, of the architectural firm Harrison & Abramovitz.[4] Their letters correspond to their height. 1251 Avenue of the Americas is the "X" Building as it is the tallest at 750 ft (229 m) and 54 stories, and was the first completed, in 1971. The "Y" is 1221 Avenue of the Americas, which was the second tower completed (1973) and is the second in height (674 ft and 51 stories). The "Z" Building, the shortest and the youngest, is 1211 Avenue of the Americas with 45 stories (592 ft).[5] The structure is LEED certified (silver level designation) by USGBC.[6] Notable tenantsThe building serves as the global headquarters for Australian-born businessman Rupert Murdoch's media companies, Fox Corporation and News Corp. It served as the world headquarters for the original News Corporation before its 2013 split into 21st Century Fox and (new) News Corp. The building is well known for housing the main studios of the Fox News Channel, part of Fox Corporation's Fox News Group. News Corp divisions housed there include Dow Jones & Company, The Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post. Other companies with office there include Annaly Capital Management.
