A huge congratulations to the incredible teams behind Nightingale Marrickville—Fresh Hope Communities and SJB—for taking home two awards this past weekend in the Affordability and Pioneering categories, recognising the project as a benchmark for inclusive design, innovative funding models, and sustainability.
Nightingale Marrickville is a collaboration between Nightingale Housing and Fresh Hope Communities, and marks a first for all partners: a purpose-built affordable build-to-rent housing project.
Comprising 54 homes and two street-level commercial spaces, this development offers a unique build-to-rent community—with rents deliberately set at 80% of local market rates to keep affordability front and centre.
Congratulations to all the teams involved.
