Building Next-Generation Multifamily Housing

Ori partners with developers and investors to build new ground-up communities that maximize livability and efficiency.

What We Create

Build Smarter, Higher-Performing Multifamily

Ori developments deliver superior returns through efficient design, smarter density, and expandable units that maximize value for every square foot.
‍
Our robotic systems—Cloud Bed, Pocket Closet, and Pocket Wall—enable smaller spaces to live larger, driving renter demand and stronger project economics.
‍
We help partners increase yield on cost, unlock constrained sites, and achieve increased risk-adjusted returns.

Ori's expanded set of unit typologies opens up new site possibilities

Better for Renters

Well-located studios with premium finishes that expand at the touch of a button — delivering elevated living at attainable rents.

Better for Owners & Developers

Higher rent per SF, increased yield on cost, and stronger risk-adjusted returns.

Better for Cities & Communities

Attainable workforce housing that addresses local shortages.

Why We Do It

Reimagining Multifamily Design

The housing shortage isn’t just about cost — it’s about design. Ori reimagines multifamily with efficient floorplates and expandable units that make infill parcels feasible, increase density within zoning limits, and deliver smaller yet more livable apartments with higher returns.

Site Constraints

Ori unlocks sites that are too narrow, shallow, or oddly shaped

Zoning Constraints

Ori enables higher density and increased feasibility within daylight plane and affordability constraints

Infrastructure & Structural Efficiency

Ori’s smaller, standardized floor plates reduce MEP distribution runs, mechanical loads, and structural span inefficiency—lowering cost and construction risk

The Result:
Elevated Living with Stronger Returns

Ori’s ground-up buildings combine aspirational design with disciplined financial performance, delivering elevated living that meets the needs of residents while outperforming the market on a risk-adjusted basis.

How We Do It

Investment Criteria

Ori targets urban and near-urban infill sites with strong fundamentals for high-efficiency multifamily. Ideal locations are mixed-use and transit-oriented, where space and land values are at a premium.

High Rent Submarkets

Studios and 1BRs support market rents of $1,500+

Urban Infill Sites

Walkable, transit-served, high-density neighborhoods

Suburban Centers

Amenity-rich town or mixed-use centers near jobs, retail, and transit

Strong Renter Demand

Strong, sustained demand for efficient studios and small 1BRs

Major Job Hubs

Adjacent to universities, hospitals, or major employment centers

Target Returns

6.5–7%+ yield on cost

FAQ

Why partner with Ori for ground-up development?

Ori’s expandable units enable more efficient floorplates, smarter density, and higher yield on cost. Developers can unlock constrained or expensive sites, deliver more (and more livable) units in less space, and strengthen overall project returns.

Does Ori replace the architect or GC?

No. Ori works directly with your existing design and construction teams to optimize plans, density, and unit mix. We partner with architects, engineers, and GCs to ensure seamless integration of Ori systems.

How do Ori units improve financial performance?

Smaller units that live larger typically:

- Increase total unit count
- Improve rent per SF
- Strengthen absorption and rentability
- Deliver stronger risk-adjusted returns
‍
These improvements drive higher yield on cost and more resilient long-term operations.

Do expandable units require special structural design?

No. Ori systems integrate seamlessly into standard Type I–V construction. We provide load data and early drawings so structural, MEP, and architectural teams can plan accordingly.

In short: the system rests on the floor, anchors into studs, and plugs into a standard 120V outlet—no specialty infrastructure required.

What building types work best with Ori?

Ori performs best in high-cost, high-demand markets where land values are high and renters pay a premium for location. Ori units allow renters to live in prime locations at a discount while helping developers achieve higher density and higher rent per SF.

Can Ori help evaluate a new site?

Yes. Ori can rapidly provide:

- Density studies
- Unit-mix scenarios
- Financial sensitivity modeling
- Early design and feasibility guidance
‍
These analyses help determine whether a site is an optimal fit for expandable units.

How early should Ori be involved?

Ideally during test fits, concept design, or schematic design. Early involvement maximizes density, livability, code efficiency, and construction simplicity.

Does using Ori add significant cost?

No. While Ori systems have a direct cost, projects typically achieve higher NOI and higher yield on cost due to improved density, rentability, and livability. Developers gain more efficient floorplates without meaningfully increasing construction complexity.

How customizable are Ori units?

Ori offers a broad range of finishes, sizes, and system configurations across different product tiers so developers can align their units, target renter profile, and budget with the Ori brand.

We offer six standard unit typologies for ground-up projects, each of which can be adapted to meet specific site conditions, market positioning, and design intent.
