The Metropole Hotel/Mabley & Company store and Bedrock Headquarters are all the same building.

I've never heard that reasoning to why it was renamed the Majestic Building. According to the building's Wikipedia page:

Unfortunately, C. R. Mabley died before the building's completion and new owners used it solely as an office block. It was purportedly renamed the Majestic building to conform with the letter "M" [[for Mabley) carved in numerous places in its façade.[3]
