Homes built for people, not profit.

Nightingale Housing is a not-for-profit organisation building apartments that are socially, financially and environmentally sustainable. We believe that homes should be built for people, not profit.

Sustainable apartment living

“Being a part of the Village has amplified that feeling of being connected to a community. I have so many people in my immediate proximity that I can call for favours and catch up with last minute, and living on my own for the first time, that makes a big difference.” Madeline chats about life at Nightingale Skye House.

Putting people and planet first

Community
To encourage social connection, Nightingale apartments are sold to local residents and community housing providers — not investors. Every building includes shared amenities, such as communal laundries and rooftop gardens, to provide opportunities to meet neighbours and build thriving communities.

Sustainability
We recognise the environmental cost of housing (in construction and operation) and minimise it wherever possible: Nightingale apartments are designed with material reductionism in mind; focus on energy efficiency; are fossil fuel-free; are built near public transport; offer ample bicycle parking; and include rooftop solar and water harvesting for productive gardens.

Affordability
As a not-for-profit, we build apartments ‘at cost’, without adding meaty profit margins. Reducing the long-term cost of ownership is also a key consideration in every Nightingale building. Rooftop solar, an embedded GreenPower network, no gas connection, and a shared, super-fast commercial internet connection mean lower ongoing costs.
