Oria offers condos, townhomes and penthouses in Solar Uniquartier. The project is built and its official website advertises immediate occupancy and new units. Availability and move-in timing still need confirmation for each unit. This guide explains how to compare phases, amenities and the real cost of your purchase.

Key takeaways
- A completed unit lets you visit the actual spaces, assess light, layout and finishes, and agree on an occupancy date.
- Developed by Devimco, Oria uses straight lines and white and anthracite façades.
- If you are considering a new unit from the developer, contact me before registering, reserving or visiting.
A completed new condo: what changes
A completed unit lets you visit the actual spaces, assess light, layout and finishes, and agree on an occupancy date. Oria’s advertised immediate occupancy can suit a near-term move, subject to unit availability, financing and sale formalities.
Customization is generally more limited once construction is complete. Ask which options remain and what they cost; existing finishes should be the starting point for your comparison. Also confirm any remaining work, included equipment and amenities actually accessible.
Architecture and landscaped surroundings
Developed by Devimco, Oria uses straight lines and white and anthracite façades. NEUF architect(e)s designed phase 2. The project presents a landscaped courtyard, a shared vegetable garden and a dog area; confirm access rights for the selected unit.
Buying new: involve your broker from the start
If you are considering a new unit from the developer, contact me before registering, reserving or visiting. I can help compare units, inclusions and timelines, then check the project’s collaboration terms before you proceed.
Prior direct contact may affect the contribution toward broker remuneration, depending on project rules. Whether you owe an additional amount must be confirmed against the contractual remuneration and sums actually credited. If you have already contacted the developer, we can still review your situation.
A varied residential offering
Devimco’s documentation distinguishes two Oria phases. Phase 1 is presented with 158 units and 14 storeys; phase 2 with 311 units in 15- and 18-storey buildings. The 311-unit figure therefore does not describe both phases combined.
A townhome should not be assessed like a high-floor studio. Outdoor space, parking, storage, view and usable area all change the relevant comparable set.
Identify the phase before comparing
These reference figures come from Devimco’s 2021 corporate brochure. For a specific unit, confirm the address, syndicate, plan and common-area access rights in current documents.
| Phase | Announced scale | Comparison to make |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 158 units, 14 storeys | Compare the same unit type and its co-ownership documents. |
| Phase 2 | 311 units, 15- and 18-storey buildings | Identify the building, expenses and access rights specific to the unit. |
Amenities presented by Oria
The official offering describes several facilities across the project. Do not assume every phase includes all of them: request the spaces accessible to your unit, their rules and any fees.
- Relaxation : indoor pool, Scandinavian spa and hydrotherapy facilities.
- Terrace : outdoor pool, BBQs and seating areas.
- Daily life : fitness room and workspaces with meeting rooms.
- Entertaining : urban lounge and gathering spaces.
Documents to examine
Before purchasing, review the declaration of co-ownership, minutes, financial statements, budget, insurance, maintenance log and reserve fund study. Rental and occupancy rules should also match the buyer's plans.
For a sale, preparing these documents early reduces delays and helps answer questions about fees, work and governance clearly.
Comparing Oria within Solar
Oria should first be compared with similar units within the project before expanding to Nobel, Magellan or Palma. Construction date, amenities, exact location and actual REM walking distance may explain part of the price difference.
Condominium quality and unit condition remain decisive: a recognized project name never replaces document review and active-market analysis.
Oria: choose the layout before the finishes
Oria’s official offering includes several housing types, including condos, townhomes and penthouses. This variety makes layout comparison particularly important: two similarly sized units can meet different needs.
Examine usable dimensions, door and window locations and space occupied by hallways or stairs, depending on the layout. Sketch where your main furniture would go before deciding a unit is large enough.
- Office : can a workstation fit without blocking circulation?
- Storage : how much is inside the unit and what rights exist elsewhere?
- Outdoor space : what are the balcony or terrace dimensions and use conditions?
- Accessibility : do the route and layout suit your long-term needs?
Gardens, orientation and amenities: verify the unit
Oria’s official presentation highlights gardens. That does not mean every unit has the same view or access. Check the building, floor, orientation and rights associated with your selected unit.
For a resale, ask about actual amenity operation and obtain the co-ownership records. For a developer purchase, clarify inclusions and timing in the contractual documents. A promotional image does not answer these questions.
