Dear hotel owners, What if you could turn your underperforming hotel into much needed attainable housing for our cities? Ori is taking full hotels and converting their standard rooms into the ultimate hyper-functional rental studio apartments, designed to feel much larger than they actually are. Reach out if you have properties and you're interested in making them part of the solution to the housing problem.

A couple of months ago, one of my posts got quite a bit of 🔥 🔥 from the architecture and interior design community for encouraging the reinvention of architectural floor plans (walls, storage, beds) to make apartments more affordable/enjoyable for residents, more profitable for developers and more sustainable for the planet. I'm obviously a biased participant on this debate. Here Ori 's take on urban apartments where space effortlessly adapts to you and not the other way around. #livelargeinasmallerfootprint

New year, new looks. And more than that! Ori is a real estate company using robotics to make apartments feel bigger and rent for less. Yes, we started as "space multiplying tech" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 10 years ago, but now we're going knee-deep into real estate, because housing needs a fresh take in lieu of the the century-old formulas. We have a lot of exciting announcements coming up very soon, so stay tuned. But for now, enjoy our new website (linked in the comments section) and learn more about our approach to multifamily residential buildings.

This is 718 square feet of "affordable awesomeness". It's ~35% smaller than the national average for new 2 Bedrooms, which would make it more attainable to rent, while including walk-in-closets, a fully private home office and even a third bedroom on demand. Well-designed hyper-functional efficiency units are not just for single professionals living in 300 sqft units. They could be applied to families in bigger units too. This is the type of "affordability by design" that Ori brings to residential real estate. How would you improve this particular design? #livelargeinasmallerfootprint

Interesting quagmire we're in: renters can't afford to rent and developers can't afford to build
Creating housing supply through office-to-residential conversions is an obvious solution for cities with high office vacancy and low apartment supply. However, as widely reported, the process is notoriously complex, expensive, and daunting, which has slowed down these critical conversions. Despite these challenges, it's been inspiring to watch the Willow Bridge Property Company team deliver the incredible Balsa, adding essential housing to DC’s central business district. (https://livebalsa.com/) It's gratifying and a privilege to have Ori Expandable Apartments included in this community, and it's thrilling to see how quickly these new apartments are now being leased! Huge kudos to Duncan Slidell, Rolf Williams, John Weiss, their architect partner Hickok Cole, and the rest of the Willow Bridge team for their unparalleled execution. #housingsupply #conversion #multifamily #affordability #housing #rents
