Grissom Apartments was the main front company of Carl Grissom's crime syndicate. The building is a high-rise tower on Gotham Square, built on top of the Flugelheim Museum.
History[]
The penthouse apartments at the top were the main residential area of Grissom and his top enforcers like Jack Napier. Grissom's mistress, Alicia, had her own apartment decorated with her modeling work.
