Federal Realty announced today that the Ori robotic furniture system is now available at the residences at Pike & Rose. Ori systems can create a room on demand, morphing a single room from a bedroom to an office, dressing room, or living room at the touch of a keypad, tap of an app, or voice command.
The Ori system is another example of how Pike & Rose offers those who live and work in the 24-acre neighborhood, ease and convenience, but also innovative and revolutionary approaches to living.
“Pike & Rose is introducing advanced and progressive solutions that far surpass traditional consumer expectations,” said Mike Ennes, Vice President – Residential, Federal Realty. “The pedestrian-friendly, all-inclusive Pike & Rose is continually employing ground-breaking concepts and solutions in ways not seen before. From the 17,000-square-foot urban rooftop farm to activating a future development space into a beach to robotic apartment furniture, Federal Realty’s Pike & Rose has reshaped North Bethesda and set a new standard for mixed-use development across the United States.”
“Because the Ori system multiplies the efficiency of space in a small footprint, residents don’t have to choose between a prime location or more square footage,” said Hasier Larrea, founder and CEO of Ori. “The new Ori-equipped apartments at Pike & Rose give residents the affordability of a studio with the functionality of a one-bedroom.”
Pike & Rose’s unique features also include:
- A 17,000 square foot roof top farm, the largest soil-based roof top farm in the Mid-Atlantic, where all produce grown will travel no more than a few blocks from farm to table.
- 9 walkable square blocks, to get (and keep) people outdoors, including a short walk to White Flint metro; or an easy bike ride to nearby Bethesda Trolley Trail via Capital Bikeshare located in Pike & Rose.
- The Beach, a pop-up summer destination, where office workers can take their meeting outdoors and families can play in the sand
- First to market restaurants and retailers such as the newly opened ice creamery The Baked Bear and opening later this year taco and cocktail joint Nada and French-Mediterranean Julii from the founders of Cava.
- The Pike & Rose solar program exemplifies Federal Realty’s commitment to sustainability initiatives – Federal Realty is the REIT leader in solar installations as a percentage of portfolio.
