Ori

Interesting quagmire we're in: renters can't afford to rent and developers can't afford to build

When the only bed you've ever known is an Ori Cloud Bed...

Mishawaka here we come! Check out Ori 's first project in Indiana as featured in the South Bend Tribune (full link in the comments section) The Avalon offers 76 Ori studios designed to be the coolest, most flexible and functional units in the market, but they also happen to be the most affordable units in the building! #makeaffordablecool Congrats to our local partners for bringing this project to life: Seven Diamonds, Spalding Design Group, LLC and Horizon Construction Group, Inc.

As we delivered Ori Studios across the country, we discovered there's an interesting space between the traditional Furnished vs Unfurnished model dichotomy. Ori systems make an apartment feel bigger and also bring the core essential furniture items (bed, mattress..) that make move-in and move-out simpler. Then you let people personalize the rest of the space to their liking. It's not furnished, but it's not unfurnished either. We call it semi-furnished.

Front page of Propmodo today: another great story about how designing apartments "the Ori way" can make housing more attainable, while making buildings more profitable. Win-win for residents and developers. The Ori way = the smallest, most affordable, yet coolest (!) apartments in the market Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dDFVERVB

What if AFFORDABLE and DESIRABLE were not an oxymoron in housing? Building small makes it affordable. Building with Ori makes it desirable. Here a sub 300 square feet apartment with a bedroom, a living room, an office and a walk-in-closet. All at the touch of a button.

!! Exciting news in Mishawaka, IN !! We are thrilled to introduce The Avalon, our newest and one of our largest collaborations just outside of South Bend. The Avalon offers 76 Expandable and Semi-furnished studios designed to redefine modern living in a small footprint. These units are not only the coolest, most flexible, functional, & transformable units in the market, but they also happen to be the most affordable units in the building. Congrats go out to JP Wielgos III and his team at Seven Diamonds for believing in the power of space multiplication & expandable living, Giavanna Spalding and the Spalding Design Group for masterfully matching the interiors, & to Ken Lusian at Horizon DMB for bringing it all to life. It’s going to be a major success! Spalding Design Group, LLC Horizon Construction Group, Inc.

Some of my favorite Ori projects are in the most unexpected buildings/cities. If you hear "Ori in New York", most people will think about an efficient small apartment in the middle of Manhattan. But what about Buffalo, New York?! Campus West is a full Ori building in Buffalo delivered back in 2021, with both happy residents and a great ROI for the developer. Hear directly from resident Naquasia in the comments section.

Pretty magical to come out of the BART escalator in Oakland and see Ori apartments right in your face. And yes, I went up this escalator three times in order to capture this moment properly 😊 1900 Broadway is now pre-leasing!
