Over the years, many building
owners and management companies
have come to understand the value of
allowing professional location scouts
to consider their rooftops for filming.
The building people get it, they know
what you are talking about and can
direct you to the person whose job
it is to accommodate you. They, too,
have pride in the splendor of the
views captured for the big or small
screen, magazine spread or print ad.
Building owners like Sage Realty
and Rockefeller Center have complete offices that deal
with filming requests. As does Kalikow, RXR, Durst,
WTC/NYNJ Port Authority and others.
New York City has unlimited perspectives. The
classic postcard shot from Rockefeller Center boasts
360-degree views of Manhattan and the perfect view
of the Empire State Building. Rockefeller Center Film
can connect this location for scouting with timed entry
and outstanding options for top of the world looks.

Another new cinematic point of view is "The Edge"
at Hudson Yards. It does not look like a rooftop. It is a
triangle in the sky, like an open-air pizza slice-shaped
spaceship protruding out from a building. Only a tilted
Edge
