Nightingale Village consists of 186 apartments, transport hubs, (500+ bike parking spaces) and sustainability solutions and benefits, including proximity to the CBD, multiple public transport options and access to local schools, community groups, and parks. Housing Choices purchased 21 dwellings across all buildings, with the remaining homes allocated to pre-existing Nightingale purchaser lists.

Low energy and utility costs for tenants and a community atmosphere promoting social and economic inclusion are some of the many benefits.
Working with Award-winning carbon neutral developer, Nightingale has allowed Housing Choices to explore a number of different housing models – from acquisition/turnkey (at Nightingale Village in Brunswick) to fully funded projects such as Nightingale Bowden in Adelaide. Housing Choices General Manager of Property Development, James Henry, said values alignment and flexibility, was key to the partnership’s success. “With Nightingale it’s been really beneficial to have agility around delivery of projects as well as mutual trust around quality of homes and quality of communities. Our relationship has enabled us to deliver in a range of different ways with a variety of funding models and risk allocations.” Nightingale Village in Brunswick, completed in 2022, is Australia’s first carbon neutral residential precinct. The Village is a collection of six buildings, each designed by a different award-winning architect using the social, environmental and financial sustainability principles of the Nightingale model.
