A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Majestic Towers would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Majestic Towers is a 1924 corner prewar at Broadway and West 75th Street — a substantial sixteen-story cooperative that has anchored this stretch of the Upper West Side for a century. Its position on the Broadway spine, one of the neighborhood's busiest and best-served corridors, places residents within a short walk of Riverside Park, Central Park, and the 72nd Street 1/2/3 subway station. It is a prewar building of real scale and durable prewar character in one of the Upper West Side's most convenient locations.
The building trades as a cooperative, and that structure shapes both its value and its buyer. Majestic Towers offers prewar proportions and a corner Broadway address at cooperative pricing — typically more accessible than the condominium inventory nearby — in exchange for the cooperative's governance framework: a board interview, financing limits, and board-approved subletting. For a resident buyer who wants prewar bones and a prime Broadway location and is comfortable with cooperative ownership, the building is a strong fit.
Architecture and unit composition
The 1924 building is a sixteen-story Broadway prewar occupying the northeast corner of West 75th Street — a corner site that gives many apartments dual exposure and strong light. The design carries the solid construction and generous room proportions characteristic of the corridor's 1920s apartment houses.
Because pricing at a cooperative is customarily read on a per-room basis, the building's prewar layouts — measured in rooms rather than square feet — are the natural unit of comparison. Configurations run from prewar studios and one-bedrooms to larger family layouts, with the corner lines carrying the best light. Condition varies apartment to apartment with renovation history.
Building operations
Majestic Towers operates as a cooperative with a part-time doorman and a live-in superintendent. Building amenities include a central laundry room, a bike room, private storage, and a landscaped roof deck with open city views. The 1989 conversion places the building in the wave of prewar rental-to-cooperative conversions on the Upper West Side.
As a cooperative, monthly maintenance covers the building's underlying operating costs and a portion of the underlying mortgage and property taxes; buyers should review recent financial statements, board minutes, and any reserve study during due diligence, and confirm the building's sublet, pet, financing, and flip-tax policies with the managing agent at offer stage.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. Facade inspections run on a fixed five-year cycle; future inspection, repair, and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2005–10 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Recent sales
Majestic Towers trades as a prewar Upper West Side cooperative, and pricing is best read on a price-per-room basis against the corridor's other prewar co-ops. Value is driven by exposure (corner versus interior lines), floor height, room count, and renovation condition, with cooperative pricing generally sitting below the condominium inventory nearby. Apartment-level closing detail should be sourced from public records for full transactional context, and pricing should be validated against the most recent comparable sales at the time of offer.

What to know if you’re buying
This is a cooperative — plan for the board. A board interview is required, financing is capped by the board, and subletting requires board approval. Confirm all policy specifics with the managing agent at offer stage.
The corner site drives light. The Broadway/West 75th corner gives many lines dual exposure; interior lines present differently. Walk the specific apartment.
Prewar proportions are the draw. Room counts and layouts — not square footage — are the natural comparison at a cooperative of this vintage.
Location is a durable asset. The Broadway spine, two parks, and the 72nd Street express station are within an easy walk.
Model the full carry — monthly maintenance plus any assessment — and verify board policy (pets, sublet, financing maximum, flip tax) with the managing agent.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with prewar value on Broadway. Prewar proportions and a corner address at cooperative pricing is the value story that attracts resident buyers.
Set expectations on the board process. Preparing a strong board package and pricing to the cooperative buyer pool shortens the timeline.
Pricing requires apartment-level context. Comparable sales vary by line, floor, exposure, and condition.
Closing timelines are cooperative-standard. Plan for roughly 6 to 10 weeks from contract through board approval to closing.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
