Rockefeller Center Offers 6-Month Leases for Retailers -- Will Other Buildings Follow?

Rockefeller Center landlord Tishman Speyer has come up with a unique solution for retailer woes, a new six-month lease program. RC Capsule may have been in the works for a while; a patent application was filed back in September. Two brands, Steven Alan and Jill Lindsey, were the first new tenants to sign up for the spaces and opened this month. Pop-ups have a long history in retail, but they've become a regular part of the retail landscape in recent years.
