Zabi,
I am thinking the same thing! It is hard to shell out so much $ for something I have never seen!! I just hope it is as good (or even better!) than it is on paper!!

The facade looks great. What awaits within, someone else will have to report.

LeCom: Great shot with the moon -- makes the Orion look ultra-modern, plus it conveys the sense of limitless vistas and a peaceful serene place to live.

The Orion folk should buy that from you for their brochures

I was told by my broker that there is a party sponsored by the Orion this Wednesday night. Don't know where or exactly when. Has anyone else heard about this.

Only 605 feet on this tower? I like how it looks, couldn't they just make it 660 feet, so it'll break the 200 m mark..

I suppose we'll hit fifty 200+ meter buildings soon enough, but we need everything we can get to stay ahead of Hong Kong...

Forget it.
You'd be fighting a losing battle.
I hate to say it but NY's days at the top are numbered.
Besides, depending on how it's calculated, HK may have already surpassed us for good.

Since I can not attend the party at the Orion this Weds, will anyone take view pictures and post them to this website? Has it been decided on which floor the party will be held?

I am going !!! It is on the higher floors and everyone who bought there is invited. You will get an Email, do not forget to RSVP !!

I can't make the party but am glad someone on this blog is going. Let us all know how it goes and please get an update on closing/move-in dates next Spring (I bought 9-H).

Have fun!

The party is on the 58th floor, and the windows will not be up so our views will be completely unobstructed. They are also serving cocktails and will have a DJ.

Not exactly sure though if cocktails and dancing on a high floor without windows is a good combination. I'll make sure to bring my camera.
