World Monuments fund moves to Rockefeller Center’s 600 Fifth Ave.

New York, NY World Monuments Fund (WMF) has relocated its global headquarters to Rockefeller Center’s 600 Fifth Ave.

Since 2010, WMF, one of the leading independent organization dedicated to cultural heritage preservation, has been headquartered on the 24th floor of Empire State Building.

After a thorough search for a new space at culturally significant locations across the city, WMF signed a 10-year lease for a 7,981 s/f space which spans the entire 25th floor of Rockefeller Center’s 600 Fifth Ave. An equally iconic Art Deco building, Rockefeller Center, owned by Tishman Speyer, will open a new chapter in WMF’s history. 

“As an organization dedicated to safeguarding heritage sites, we are excited to be moving to Rockefeller Center, a campus with incredible history and one of the most vibrant areas of New York City. The amenities for all those who work at the Center, the carefully considered retail and dining offerings, and of course the artworks and architecture make this a perfect home for WMF,” said WMF president and CEO, Bénédicte de Montlaur.

"We are honored and excited to welcome World Monuments Fund to the Center," said EB Kelly, Tishman Speyer managing director overseeing Rockefeller Center. "WMF's work across the globe is truly inspiring, and we look forward to providing the team with a home worthy of WMF's mission."
