How many units are still available at The Oro? That’s a very good question, and one we posted to the team at Douglas Elliman in charge of selling them. Unfortunately, they refused to tell us, failing to recognize that obfuscation doesn’t fly in this era of transparency. They referred us to StreetEasy, which has a breakdown posted here. According to StreetEasy, 159 units have been sold and another 63 are in contract, for a total of 222 units spoken for. Since there are 303 units in the building, and in the absence of any guidance from the brokers, we can only conclude that there are 75 units still available.

Dude. How do you run this story and say nothing about plans for the pit across the street?
> “I did read somewhere that most developers break even at about the 40-50% sold mark.”
Awfully hard to get a mortgage for a unit in a building with low sales like that, is it not?
I did read somewhere that most developers break even at about the 40-50% sold mark.
So if that’s the case, BHO….while it’s not great news, it certainly isn’t the end of the world.
They’ll just convert the remaining to rentals, if need be.
“They referred us to StreetEasy…”
Speaks volumes. Assume 50% sold. Developers wouldn’t even wipe their asses with contracts these days.
Orental by summer…

is the lesson that properties built during downturns is better quality while properties built during boomtimes tends to be done quickly with as many corners cut as possible?
Until the deeds are recored on ACRIS, I wouldn’t trust anything these brokers say.
I agree with you 11217. This place built under the assumption people would take anything. Penny wise and pound foolish…
What’s up Randolph! I hope you have your blast suit on, LMMFAO!
These places are future Low-Income housing.

I can’t imagine anyone coming to look at units here, not seeing Toren next door and immediately ditching any plans to look at Oro. It’s so clearly a better looking, better priced and I’m guessing better constructed building.
Once Toren came on the scene, Oro was dead in the water.
Of those 159 listed as “sold”, about 40 of them are labeled as “off market” and thus not really sold at all.
Another one of those is a listed as a storage room, and another has no unit number at all.
