Aguayo & Huebener in Scarano partnership
355 Warren, aka Tao, is a new condo designed by Scarano Architects. As expected, this project includes duplex units with mezzanines. As well, Aguayo & Huebener are marketing this one also.Units are all duplexes, as far as we can tell. Square footage ranges from 815 square feet to 904 square feet, for $559K to $619K. Sounds affordable, doesn't it? Many units have outdoor space and mezzanine storage units.

These are great - there is no reason to even have a duplex in these units other than to tear out the mezzanine and make a living space out of it. There's nothing else up there but a utility room. People don't want second floors just for "storage".
But we all know that - hardly a revelation. It just continues to amaze me that Scarano can get away with it time after time, even with the controversies and the remedial actions.
price looks good. surrounding block might be a bit sketchy though..
excellent use of space and design....furnishings make it look open and airy...lots of character and subtle charm....love the Smith Street
neighborhood....mezzanines a real plus..could put a bed up there !!! overlooking the spacious living area
went to open house today, as did a whole lot of youngish people (some of whom seemed to bringing mom and dad along). great light, views, location, and price. the major, major drawback is that the internal stairs are incredibly steep - to the point where i imagine lots of people will have a difficult time navigating them (particularly on the way down).
How the heck did the price on these just jump 100K? I was at the open house too and thought they were overpriced at 550-620.
Holy cow, they did just jump in price a rather severe ~18%. Maybe it's a database glitch at A&H?
i think they jumped because the brokers had posted wrong price in first place. they seemed baffled and flustered at open house and said most of the info on the web and in the pricing sheet was wrong. we didn't care because we weren't buying at any price - places are too small for us - but i imagine it might irk someone who was actually in the market.
Are they kidding with these prices?? At the original price I would have considered making an offer but now???? Come on, what are these people thinking? Where do they get these numbers from?
These units are incredible! Combination of location, finish quality, and size is pretty tough to top. Even at the increased prices, it still seems like a reasonable buy.
rather than promoting your own development on a blog, why not fix the problems you have - for starters, you might figure out what you want to do with the floor to ceiling glass on the street level, since its obviously a security risk. leaving sheets of plywood in front of it won't be a long-term fix.
visited tao this week and despite scranno aguayo has a winner. It is beautiful with high end finishes. Great high ceilings and all have outdoor space. Love the location my girlfriend and I are contemplating putting in an offer on penthouse.
Scranno is not in partnership with anyone. I bought at the Washington and am extremely happy there. The developer and the brokers aguayo went above and beyond to overcome the taint of scranno.
Tao is fantastic.
Did The Washington ever obtain final CO? I heard owners of those units got screwed.
If one were to buy a unit at Tao when the TCO is issued, would you have to keep the wood platform in the mezzanine until the final CO is issued? Couldn't that process take more than a year?
You can't close on a unit until a building has a TCO, so you souldn't do any changes till you close anyway. It is the CO where issues may arrise. And except for the fire dept, inspectors can't go into your units once you own them, whether or not that would ever pose a problem. It's up in the air I suppose as to what would happen down the line, but there are plenty of Scarano apartments that have resold without issues ever coming up and those are units that have the original mezzanines and bathrooms.
