While we’re talking about community growth, it’s a big year for our city with many new developments popping up around Charlotte. One project stirring up buzz lately is Oro Ballantyne, a luxury apartment complex set to bring some serious elegance to the Ballantyne area.
What’s in Store at Oro Ballantyne?
So, what’s so special about Oro Ballantyne? For starters, this stunning 26-story apartment complex will feature a whopping 356 units ranging from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom apartments. As you might guess, the sizes vary too—coming in at a little over 600 square feet up to more than 2,000 square feet! Talk about options!
But wait, there’s more! One of the standout features of Oro Ballantyne is its luxury amenities. Think private clubrooms, poolside cabanas, and even personalized wellness plans. Plus, if you love your coffee as much as we do, you’ll appreciate the complimentary coffee offerings available on-site. That sounds like a great way to start the day, right?
Exciting Features Galore!
Now, let’s not forget the fun stuff. Oro Ballantyne will boast a hidden-door speakeasy bar—yes, you heard that right—and multiple indoor bars for all your socializing needs. And if you’re a pet lover? They’ve got you covered with dog-walking services. Plus, with pre-leasing already underway, those looking to move in can start securing their spots.
As for the prices? Well, they start pretty reasonably for a luxury apartment, with studios priced from around $1,500 and penthouses beginning at a documented $5,010. Yum. It seems like luxury living is on the rise in Charlotte!
