Condo of the Day: Price Cut at the Oro
The price of one lower-floor two-bedroom at the Oro was just reduced from $640,000 to $599,000. The 933-square-foot pad, which, according to our calculations, must be one of the lower units with the big, curved corner windows, has two equally large (or, some might say, small) bedrooms and only one bathroom to share. That said,…

That said, that living room is pretty cool and the building has amenities out the wazoo. As far as we can tell, the building is about 1/3 sold (96 out of 300-odd apartments are listed as being in contract on the Douglas Elliman site.) Then again, for the same money, a buyer could also pick up this two-bedroom at BellTel. Which do you think is a better deal?

I like PDE’s feeble attempt at the Euro play:
“Come and see why such an international group of people have already bought at Bell Tel.”
Those Euros are staying in Manhattan, folks
They cannot call a room without windows a bedroom. This is a large studio.
So a Persian, a Jew and a WASP walk into a bar…
That’s a new one – the windowless ‘bedroom’ labelled as “home occupancy” on the floorplan – what does that even mean?
I bought at Oro. The sales office there says that they have 148 out of 303 in contract.
The Brooklyn House of Detention has more windows per resident than the BellTel. It also is in a much nicer neighborhood than either Oro or BellTel.
Those aren’t real bedrooms in the Belltel, i agree.
I expected myself to pick the Belltel option but with a serious shortage of windows and closets that unit’s not looking so hot.
The Belltel unit sacrifices real bedrooms for a better location. However, Oro’s location will improve greatly over coming years. Belltel is a better place to live now, but Oro is the better long-term investment.
