"We are doubling down on Rockefeller Center as a beacon of New York's bright future," a spokesperson for Tishman Speyer says. There'd also be an installation called "Beacon," which would be a moving globe with audio-visual capabilities and a celestial floor mosaic that echoes the artwork throughout Rockefeller Center. Right now, an out-of-commission radar and antenna masts are taking up space there. On the 70th floor would be "Top of the Top," a new infinity observation deck giving those sweeping 360-degree views. The experience would have a rotating beam-like structure that visitors could sit on, strap in, and ride upward to above the 69th floor to recreate the famous photo.
