We’re excited to announce the opening of the SkyLift at 30 Rockefeller Center, offering visitors stunning 360-degree views of New York City from an elevated, open-air platform. Designed by Montroy DeMarco Architecture LLP and THG Creative, and developed by Tishman Speyer, this project adds another level of excitement to one of NYC's most iconic destinations. Earlier, GMS provided structural engineering for the Beam Ride, an interactive experience on the 69th floor that allows visitors to recreate the iconic "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" photo while being lifted above the skyline. A huge congratulations to our GMS team—Anthony Pagnotta, Mike Pugliese, and Brendan O'Malley—for their contributions to the structural engineering that made this experience possible!
