According to this site and others, it's a $440 million condominium arrangement transacted when Speyer bought Rockefeller Center. That would make GE owner of all of the space they occupy or lease to others, not a tenant, just like any condo owner.

Tishman Speyer Properties owns all of Rockefeller Center; GE is just the primary tenant at 30 Rock, which is why they get the name.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't GE essentially own 30 Rock? That's why it's called the GE Building. That would explain why NBC is promoting it.

I love seeing the city from different perspectives, and it makes me happy, so for me, it was well worth it. And it's not surprising the NBC and WNBC would promote Top of the Rock - they do work at Rockefeller Center and NBC owner GE seems to be the biggest tenant there.

Why would anyone want to pay $14.00 to go up to the top of a building? I never understood that, you get a better view going in and out of LaGuardia. Also, WNBC/NBC promoted this thing up the wazoo.
