EXISTING PRECEDENTS

Nightingale Housing delivers apartments which are:

Sustainable: Energy efficient (at least 7.5 NatHERS stars), carbon neutral in
operations and built near public transport, with rooftop solar and water
harvesting for productive gardens.

Community: Nightingale apartments are sold to residents and Community
Housing Providers, not investors. Shared amenities like laundries and rooftop
gardens provide opportunities to build community.

At-cost: Nightingale Housing provides housing at-cost, so we are motivated
to create homes for people, not profit. New residents sign a caveat agreeing
to pass on this saving to future owners.

Lower living costs: Because Nightingale buildings are built for people, not
profit, we can invest time and effort in reducing the long-term cost of
ownership. Things like rooftop solar, embedded energy networks, avoiding
gas supply, and a shared super-fast commercial internet connection mean
lower ongoing costs.

Nightingale Housing exists to revolutionise the way we live together.

We all want to live in a comfortable home we can afford. We all want to
belong to a community. We all want to reduce our impact on the planet.
Quality apartments built close to public transport can deliver all this in a way
that is difficult to achieve under other housing models.
