Ori is a real estate company using proprietary robotic systems to make apartments live larger and rent for less. Our technology enables developers and owners to create high-performing multifamily housing, while residents enjoy modern, flexible homes that feel significantly larger than their footprint.

Ori uses simple, proven mechatronics—a standard outlet, low-power motors, and a counterweight or guidance-track system—to transform space with ease.

Residents can control each system through the Ori Square interface, mobile app, or voice control.
‍
For investors and developers, the technology integrates cleanly into standard construction and installs post-C.O., alongside FF&E, minimizing coordination and risk.

Ori has installed over 2,000 systems in over 1,750 apartments across the Unites States in 64 cities and 140 projects.

Yes. All systems are built for long-term multifamily use.
‍
UL-listed (UL962) — highest standard for household furnishings
Cycle-tested for 15+ years of daily use
Safety-stop and anti-lift protections on every unit
Lockable to prevent unintended movement
Supported by Ori’s U.S.-based service team
‍
Residents enjoy a seamless, intuitive experience; owners benefit from durable, low-maintenance systems engineered for institutional operations.  The average system has one service call once every 5 years, and [95%] of issues can be addressed remotely or by the on-site service tech.

Ori apartments are semi-furnished with built-in essentials — including a bed frame, mattress, couch, and integrated storage. Residents save on upfront furniture costs and avoid moving heavy items, while owners benefit from reduced unit turnover labor, stronger first impressions, and faster lease-ups.

No. Ori is not an Architect of Record. But our team brings decades of experience designing and delivering award-winning multifamily housing and works closely with AORs to:

Optimize floorplates and building shape
Maximize density and livable SF
Refine unit mix and efficiency
Integrate Ori systems with minimal construction burden
‍
This results in better resident layouts and improved project economics.

Ori partners with developers as a co-GP from the earliest stages to improve efficiency, livability, and financial performance. We support projects through:
‍
Site and feasibility review — assessing whether a property is a strong fit for expandable units

Unit-mix optimization — using Ori’s design tools to maximize density and livable SF

Floorplate and layout strategy — providing test fits and concept design that elevate resident experience and strengthen project economics

Underwriting and rent analysis — helping owners evaluate achievable rents, absorption, and yield-on-cost impacts
‍
Throughout the process, Ori acts as a strategic partner—helping teams design smarter, build more efficiently, and deliver homes that outperform in the market with higher yield on cost and stronger risk-adjusted returns.

Ori is not a traditional developer, but we frequently participate in projects as a co-GP alongside experienced sponsors. In this role, we provide technology, design guidance, underwriting support, and—when appropriate—capital to help ensure the project delivers stronger returns and a superior resident experience.
‍
As a co-GP partner, our incentives are fully aligned—we succeed when the project performs.

No. Ori is not modular construction.
‍
Our systems are construction-agnostic and integrate into any building type — from wood-frame to concrete high-rise to modular off-site construction. They install onsite after the building receives its C.O., reducing coordination challenges and avoiding factory-driven constraints, while giving residents a modern home with built-in functionality on day one.

Not today. Ori focuses on larger scale multifamily housing solutions rather than one-off residential installations.
‍
However, residents can lease an Ori apartment in thousands of units across the U.S. and Canada — with more opening regularly.

Ori is inspired by origami and the Japanese word ori, meaning “fold.” We create spaces that fold, transform, and reveal new possibilities. Our systems follow the same principle—adaptable homes that live larger for residents and perform better for owners and investors.
