As a company insider at the Rockefeller Group notes, the portion of Rockefeller Center up for sale is only that which is classified as "landmark property." This includes the GE building, housing NBC, as well as Radio City Music Hall and the skating rink.

He says that the buildings on the west side of the Avenue of the Americas are not part of the deal and their ownership and/or management has remained with the Rockefeller Group, one-time owner of the entire Rockefeller Center complex.

Currently, 1211 6th Ave. is owned by Jamestown Group, German investors that bought the property in April 2000. The Rockefeller Group owns 55% of 1221 6th Ave. and is partners with McGraw Hill Co., which owns the other 45%. Mitsui Fudosan owns 1251 6th Ave. The Rockefeller Group owns the Time Life Building at 1271 6th Ave. Rockefeller Development Management Group of the Rockefeller Group manages all four of these properties.
