Orpheum Lofts, Art Deco residential tower in Downtown Phoenix, United States.
The Orpheum Lofts is an 11-story Art Deco high-rise at 114 West Adams Street, designed by Lescher & Mahoney and built in 1930. Its facade bricks were made in California and grow progressively lighter from bottom to top. The 2004 conversion created 90 loft condominiums of 700 to 1,800 square feet, with a penthouse occupying the whole eleventh floor.
The building was constructed in 1931 as the Title and Trust Building and served as Arizona's largest office building at the time. Its conversion to residential use occurred in 2004, marking the end of more than 70 years of commercial operation.
The building displays the Art Deco style typical of 1930s Phoenix architecture, with geometric patterns and materials that shaped the downtown area's visual identity. These design elements remain visible throughout the structure and contribute to the neighborhood's character.
The building is located downtown and provides residents with access to a swimming pool, spa, fitness center, and parking across the street. Visitors should note that this is a private residential building with limited public access.
The rooftop served as a filming location in 1960 for the opening scene of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. This connection links the building to one of cinema's most famous sequences.
