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.)

I think there is that person also, 2:24.
Sadly she has passed on.
Her name was Hellen Keller.
well, all that is required is one person with 1.61 mill to think this apartment worthy of that sum, and i think it pretty likely that such a person will come along. i just hope that this person will invite me over some day for a tour.
This looks great, and will really help with the economic revitalization of downtown Newark! Look out, midtown Manhatan!
“but 10 years from now, this place will be paying handsome returns. ”
in 10 years it will be even uglier than it is now, if possible.
and most likely falling apart at the seams.
Still overpriced.
1:23 Good lord, where do you live? If you have an apartment with the amount of storage and closet space that seem to need, don’t ever plan on moving again because you won’t find it anywhere else. Linen closet in every bathroom! I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it.
it’s not entirely clear, but appears from streeteasy that the previously listed 3BR (there are 4 in the building i believe) at 1.51 mill is in contract. if i recall correctly, that unit had less sqft and faced mostly away from manhattan. this unit is 100 sqft larger and has the primo exposure. basically, the top 2 floors are each split between 2 3BR apartments, so you are getting half the floor. yes, this price is expensive for the current state of the immediate area, but 10 years from now, this place will be paying handsome returns.
The kitchen will need to be spotless 24/7. Not only is it wide open to the living and dining area but it is also in the entryway.
These layouts are meant for people who do not cook or eat. The fridge and cabinets can be used as a spare closets.
Would work as a Bklyn pied-at-terre. Designed for too much of a mish-mosh of functions otherwise (family, couple, entertaining) without being especially well-suited for any one.
