The tallest singles club in Brooklyn is open for business.
The 40-story Oro Condo — the tallest condo tower to be built since the neighborhood was upzoned in 2004 — is nearly completed, and real-estate agents have already started selling the apartments to hip new clients.
The place — with its own bar, screening room and pool — is being billed as one-stop-shopping for singles.
“Who needs to go to the gym, out to a bar or to the movies when you live in a place that offers [it all] under one roof?” promises the broker’s promotional material.
“Bring the party to you.”
And even though the building does offer two- and three-bedroom apartments, its glossy PR campaign shows no signs of such things that can really kill the free-love buzz: families, children or strollers.
Prices also seem geared towards rich Wall Street bonus babies.
Studio apartments start at more than $300,000 — a small price to pay to be surrounded by so many exciting single people.
“Oro’s very attractive price points will give buyers the opportunity to get in on the ground floor,” said Andy Gerringer, managing director of Prudential Douglas Elliman Developments.
The 303-unit tower, at 306 Gold St., will be completed in 2008. Its twin — to be named later — will rise next door at 313 Gold St. There is no projected completion date for that building.
