7. Rockefeller Center
A complex comprised of 19 buildings that span 22 acres of prime New York City real estate,
the Rockefeller Center is one of New York's must-see iconic destinations. Named after the
family that built it, this Midtown Manhattan center was an undertaking solely of the Rocke-
fellers.
With the costs of leasing the property, demolishing existing structures, and breaking ground
on new buildings, the total estimated cost to build the center was $250 million. This was to
be the largest private construction project ever undertaken by one individual.
