bought @ Oro Condo downtown Brooklyn ( yeah, yeah, I already heard all the reasons the location stinks ) and was wondering if any one has heard when they're going to begin to give out closing dates. Seems like a long delay, with no firm answers from the building.

Dirk, what kind of issues with the windows if I may ask?

The windows don't seem to be sealed properly, there's air and noise coming through. Much more noise than I expected.

In my case, my windows were actually not closed properly when that happened. Because the handle/lock was closer to the bottom, I have to push the top as well when I close the windows. They've sealed properly since then. Hope that helps.

I've also had pretty good experiences with the building guys. They've been really great about any problems we've had.

It took the crew a few months to finish off my punchlist items. Luckily,though, after many phone calls and a few face-to-face converstaions, I am 98% finished with any and all move in issues. You just have to be proactive and make some noise. That's the only way they'll hear you.

Anyone know what's the word on the gym and pool? I could use one or the other right about now.

I think they are just off-market (whatever that means!). They were not in contract and they do not appear as sold.

Why does StreetEasy list 71 apartments sold when NYC.gov lists only 6 (SIX) closed?
What exactly do you guys mean by "sold"?

They recently sold another unit at a 13% price cut; at this rate they'll be sold out when the tax abatement expires.

Area should get prettier when the Avalon and toren frontage are competed. Anyone knows if the gas station remain? When The Flatbush avenue island is widened similar to Brooklyn bridge blvd., the area will be totally different.

seems unlikely that the gas station goes away without eminent domain. plot is too small to build anything worthwhile from a developer's perspective, costs of remediation would be high, and it's a goldmine location for a gas station. exxonmobil has owned that land for many years and i can't see why they would sell it or why someone would buy it anytime soon.

I read a piece on the oro mentioning that few units entered in contract in the last month and yet I do not see them on streeteasy. the units must have entered in contract with rose associates (instead of elliman) but perhaps this info has not been updated. any info about this?

Does anyone know if the building is 50% sold or how many units they have left to sell before they reach that milestone?

I'm negotiating a deal to move in at the end of the year and close around February. Let me know if anyone can shed light.

Does anyone have recent news about the ORO, price reductions or the "projects" status. Friend walks by it every night and says that the building is in darkness. Anyone closed recently, or have a date set?
