ROCKY RIVER, Ohio – Developers of a new apartment are hoping to bring modern simplicity to Rocky River.
The first phase of ORRIS at 22655 Center Ridge Road, minutes from the Westwood Shopping Plaza, will soon be open for residents. The four-story building houses 54 units ranging from studios to two bedrooms, and several amenities.
A second building will be added, with a tentative opening of 2026.
The Krueger Group, a Northeast Ohio-based construction and development company, partnered with Lyndhurst-based RHM Real Estate Group on the $10 million project, which sits on land that was purchased as two parcels for just over $1 million combined.
“I’m very proud and excited to bring this to the market,” said Bobby Krueger, a partner and president at Krueger Group. “There hasn’t been a new product brought to Rocky River in over 12 years. I’m really proud of the overall product, how it looks and the way it was designed.”
ORRIS, spelled with two “Rs” to represent Rocky River, will include 72 interior parking spaces above ground and underground. Residents will have access to storage lockers.
The units, ranging from 598 to 1,180 square feet, all come with an in-unit washer and dryer, sizeable quartz islands and counters, walk-in closets, privacy shades, stainless steel appliances and more, with several of the units having handicap accessible bathrooms. Minus the studios, all the apartments have private balconies. And there are many two-bedroom layouts.
Amenities include a fitness center, an indoor community space with a fireplace and beverage center, and mailroom with a separate package area. The outdoor area includes fire pit and seating, something Krueger said was an effort to create neighborhood connectivity.
“From people that are moving home after college to young professionals, young families and then empty nesters. So, the reason we have so many two bedrooms is to meet the needs of the community for families and empty nesters. There’s also change of life with people going through divorce,” said Krueger, whose other projects include TREO in Ohio City and Breakwater on the Detroit Shoreway in Cleveland.
“There’s lack of inventory, so people are moving in from different communities. It’s literally the full spectrum.”
The first resident is expected to move in on May 1 and Krueger said the building was already at 20% occupancy.
Prices range from $1,700 to $3,000.
