Moore was at the Washington, D.C. office of Houston-based owner and developer Hines before he came to Rockefeller in 2016.

The Rockefeller Group is best known for building Manhattan’s famed Rockefeller Center and Time-Life Building. More recently, the company announced a major overhaul of the former McGraw-Hill Tower on Sixth Avenue.

In November, it acquired 82,300 square feet of air rights from the Cort Theatre for $41.1 million, and it is working on the massive mixed-use Flushing Commons project with F&T Group and AECOM Capital. Last month, The Real Deal reported that law firm Blank Rome was in advanced talks to lease 130,000 square feet at Rockefeller’s 1271 Sixth Avenue. [CO]Eddie Small
