Here’s a tour of the Orpheum Lofts and brief history of the iconic building.
Originally built for the Title and Trust Building, this 11-story highrise was designed in the Art Deco style by local architects Lescher & Mahoney; a neon sign on the north side of the building advertising the Phoenix Title and Trust Company was a prominent feature for many years. It was also the largest building in Arizona at the time of its construction in 1930, and the grand opening took place on January 31, 1931. The original site was occupied by the two-story O’Neill Building, which was constructed in 1900.
Though the building itself is a classic, the amenities at Orpheum Lofts suit any modern taste. Great city views, a heated pool and spa, a clubhouse, a barbecue commons area, and a workout facility will accommodate any Phoenix lifestyle. It’s also close to shopping centers, restaurants, performance theatres, museums, sports venues, and the light rail.
“No expense was spared in this remodel.”
The 1,700-square-foot interior shown in the video above has an open floor plan featuring cherry hardwood floors, shaker kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, glass tile backsplashes, and stainless steel appliances. The two bedrooms have exposed brick and 12.5-foot-high ductwork concrete ceilings; no expense was spared in this remodel! The bricks used in the facade were specially made in California, and are progressively lighter in color from bottom to top.
