Condo of the Day: Top of the Oro
Say what you want about the design of the Oro exterior (we’ve heard a wide range of opinions), but the views from the top are going to be pretty killer. So we were interested to see an open house listed this past weekend on the top floor in Unit 40F. With three bedrooms and three…
Say what you want about the design of the Oro exterior (we’ve heard a wide range of opinions), but the views from the top are going to be pretty killer. So we were interested to see an open house listed this past weekend on the top floor in Unit 40F. With three bedrooms and three baths, the 1,647-square-foot pad has definite family appeal too. The price of $1,610,000 is pretty high for the area, but there have been a couple of similarly-sized units at the nearby Belltel Lofts that have gone for around this price. We bet they’ll get within 10 percent of the ask on this one but, then again, we’re bullish on Downtown in general. (Disclosure: The Oro is a former advertiser on Brownstoner.)

great bachelor pad.
Did they call it Oro because of Gold St?
There should be two closets in the master bedroom. Anyone who is married to a clothes-horse will tell you that women think of closets as indivisible units. If there is a closet, no matter how big, its hers.
Every bath should have a linen closet.
There is a storage closet in the center of the apartment but no pantry, no broom closet,
everything is very tightly engineered.
The selling point here is the views. The floorplan is not inspired or even that gracious.
Why does everyone in a condo need their own bathroom? Can’t these people pee in the same place? Never understand this.
Pardon me, I posted the absence of square footage. I meant it doesn’t look like a 1,647 sf pad.
I noticed the absence of square footage in the floor plan. I must say that for the money and besides the awesome views, it’s small and cramped.
Many people don’t like townhouse living and would much prefer an apt.
The closet in the master is a walk-in closet. The walk-in looks to be a decent size. There’s a coat closet as you walk in and an extra closet in the hall-way for linens and cleaning supplies. I think there’s adequate storage space.
pretty costly considering you can get a similarly sized townhouse for that price.
I do like the layout. It does a good job of separating the “public” and “private” spaces, which a lot of new places don’t do. The plan looks like it will work and it doesn’t have a lot of wasted space (aka mezzanines).
Just my $0.02.
