Homes built for people, not profit.

Putting people and planet first

Learn more about Nightingale’s principles: putting community, the environment, and housing accessibility before profits.

Community
To encourage social connection, Nightingale homes are sold to residents and community housing providers — not investors. Every project includes shared amenities, such as communal laundries and 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 homes 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 sell our homes for what it costs us to acquire funding, buy the land, design the project and get it built. We work closely with our Community Housing Partners to help address inequality in access to secure and high quality housing.

What residents say

Nightingale is guided by lived experience. Read our interviews with residents about their journey from buying to now living in a Nightingale home.
