(l-r) Rendering of The Oslo, ARC Architecture + Design; Interiors, Corcoran
In the wake of a 2017 rezoning that allows for greater building density, East Harlem has seen abundant new residential development. While this has been dominated by rentals, a number of condos have broken through. The latest entrant is The Oslo, a six-story boutique condominium at 159 East 118th Street. Renderings by ARC Architecture & Design Studio depict a narrow building with a light-colored facade, multiple balconies, and a planted roof, and sales have launched on the apartments inside.
As of this writing, a pair of one-bedroom units is on the market. Prices start at $665K, and a condo with a private balcony is listed for $670K. According to CityRealty listings, this is right in line with the East Harlem median price of $667,500 for one-bedroom condos.

Amenities at The Oslo include a fitness center, a bike room, storage for purchase, and a common roof deck. However, the site enjoys an address between Central Park, Marcus Garvey Park, and Thomas Jefferson Park. It is also close to the East River Plaza shopping center, local favorites like Rao's and Patsy's Pizzeria, and the 116th Street 6 train.
Permits indicate that there are only two units per floor, and the offering plan shows that the vast majority of apartments have private outdoor space. The interiors feature:
- Large picture windows by Pella
- Red oak floors
- Open kitchens with quartz islands, abundant cabinetry, Bertazzoni cooktops, and Blomberg appliance packages
- Generous closet space in the bedrooms
- Baths with rain shower heads, deep soaking tubs, suspended vanities, and anti-fog mirrors
