8 Coolest High-Rises in (or near) Historic Districts

Central Phoenix is home to the majority of the designated Historic Districts in the Valley. Check out some of my favorite high-rise projects in these highly-desirable neighborhoods. ​

Embassy Condos

On the edge of Roosevelt Historic District, Embassy Condominiums is in close proximity to Diamondbacks Chase Field, Talking Stick Resort Arena, light rail, ASU downtown campus, Roosevelt Row art galleries, cafes, and all the excitement of downtown. Sky pool, newly refurbished clubhouse, pool, workout room and laundry. You can still snag units at Embassy in the $100's!!

Artisan Lofts On Central

The modern, industrial spaces of Artisan Lofts are located in downtown Phoenix on the light rail line. Each of the 40 lofts in this contemporary complex boast exposed ductwork, soaring ceilings, tons of windows offering spectacular city lights and mountain views, granite countertops, full sized washers and dryers, and sealed concrete or hardwood flooring. Units in Artisan average in the $300's.

Portland on the Park

Blurring the distinction between home, work, and the neighborhood coffee shop, Portland on the Park offers its residents an energized, metropolitan standard of living. A short walk to restaurants, galleries, live music venues, downtown, the Arts & Entertainment District and light rail couple with a resort-style pool, fitness center and 15th floor rooftop lounge to make this address the most sought after in downtown Phoenix. Units range from the $400s to over $1 million.

Landmark Tower

In the heart of Midtown Phoenix, the best of mid-century chic meets the best of urban living. Landmark Towers on Central offers an eclectic mix of modern and vintage flair with a 17-story tower of condominiums overlooking the skyline. Originally opened in 1963, the Landmark Towers building has been grandly renovated to play up its architectural highlights including floor to ceiling windows opening onto panoramic balconies. Units here in the $100-$200s! 

Crystal Point

If mid-town living in a secure high rise with a 24-hour concierge is what you're looking for, check out the elegant Crystal Point condos. These two and three bedroom homes offer both mountain and city views. Large master suites, upscale kitchens and private balconies add to the amenities. When it's time to relax, take a swim in the community pool or take advantage of the exercise room and club room. Units can be priced upwards of $2 million. 

Orpheum Lofts

The Orpheum Lofts is one of the few historic buildings in downtown Phoenix transformed into residences. Formerly the Phoenix Title and Trust Building in Downtown Phoenix built in the 1930's, the building was gutted and renovated in Art Deco Style. The lofts have open floorplans, with the trendy exposed ductwork and warm brick walls. You know that this isn't your standard Phoenix property when you enter the retro lobby area with marble and terrazzo tile.  Units range from the $200s to $500s. 

One Lexington

One Lexington is a 17 story high rise with a modern flair and spectacular city views. Once known as Century Plaza, this high rise was a former office building gutted and refurbished into modern, loft style condos. Units are styled with contemporary finishes - wood floors, european cabinetry, high-end appliances and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the views. Upper floor units have awesome views of the valley. Units start in the low $200s.
