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.
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.
Sustainability
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. Rooftop solar, an embedded GreenPower network, no gas connection, and a shared, super-fast commercial internet connection also mean lower ongoing costs.
