The Majestic, Art Deco apartment building in Upper West Side, United States.
The Majestic reaches 29 floors with twin towers at 115 Central Park West, featuring minimalist ornamentation and vertical elements against the Manhattan skyline.
The building, completed in 1931 by architect Irwin Salmon Chanin, changed from a planned 45-story hotel to smaller apartments due to the Great Depression.
Notable residents included entertainers Milton Berle and Zero Mostel, as well as organized crime figures Frank Costello and Lucky Luciano during the 1930s.
The steel construction incorporates one underground level and stands as part of the Central Park West Historic District between 71st and 72nd Streets.
A 1957 incident occurred when Vincent Gigante shot Frank Costello in the lobby, though Costello survived and continued residing there until 1973.
