WHY OCEANO FAQ’S 1) How is Oceano different from other condo projects? Oceano was designed from the very beginning as a hotel and business center and not as a condo building, meaning it incorporates all the necessary services, infrastructure and amenities of a 5 star hotel. The design of the units is unique to Oceano and has many advantages, such as natural light and lower humidity, compared to the typical railroad design used in most condo projects. Every room at Oceano has direct sun exposure and its own balcony, so a two bedroom unit will have three balconies for example, one for each bedroom and one in the living room. 2) How can Oceano offer more services and lower prices than other projects in the area? As Oceano is primarily a hotel, the developer is looking to make profit from the rental revenue and administration of the hotel and its facilities, such as the restaurant, art gallery, tour desk and spa. Therefore the units are priced lower than other condominium projects which look to make their profit from the project development only and don’t have real interest in the rental program that follows. 3) What are the advantages of Oceano’s location?
