  • Innovative partnerships

    Located across South Australia and Victoria, our Nightingale Housing partnership reflects how affordable homes and specialist disability accommodation can be included in environmentally sustainable developments. It’s a model that lowers living costs and builds community, and one we’re proud to help spearhead.

    Nightingale Ballarat offers a world first opportunity to understand the benefits of social and affordable tenancies and specialist housing solutions for people living with a disability within a mixed tenure development featuring outstanding environmentally sustainable design, a development model delivering capped investor profit margins, low running costs for tenants and a community atmosphere promoting social and economic inclusion.

  • Innovative partnerships

    Housing Choices will manage the affordable housing component of six new build-to-rent developments by Assemble Communities. The model follows international examples of build-to-rent, offering a wider array of affordable apartments, with the opportunity to enrich city communities, benefit local economies and most importantly, take pressure off the housing system overall.

    Build-to-rent

    Housing Choices Australia has partnered with Build-to-rent developer, Assemble, to manage community housing across their projects Australia-wide. A first of its kind for the emerging asset class, the initial tranche will provide thousands of homes for low to moderate income households.

    Super Housing Partnerships (SHP), a specialist affordable fund manager, is contributing investment towards the project pipeline which includes high density, mixed tenure developments in Melbourne and Perth. This replicable mixed income model reflects international best practice, adapted to the Australian context to achieve social outcomes for tenants and financial returns for investors, while reducing dependence on government subsidies.

  • Our key priority

    Sustainability

    Housing Choices embraces our social and corporate responsibility to act in a sustainable and ethical manner. Embedding sustainability into everything we do, for the benefit of our residents and the wider community, is a key priority.

    Many of our buildings are designed to the highest energy ratings (NaTHers rating of 7 stars or higher for new developments, some up to 9), which not only reduces our carbon footprint but delivers cost savings and comfort to residents on limited incomes.
