Construction of Rockefeller Center, 1932. Constructed during the Great Depression, it was the largest private commercial real estate project in the world. Covering over 22 acres with 14 Art Deco buildings, Rockefeller Center was completed in 1939 after almost a decade of construction. The complex is named after American financier and philanthropist, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who leased the space from Columbia University in 1928.
