Nightingale Marrickville | SJB

Nightingale Marrickville is collaboration with Fresh Hope Communities and Nightingale Housing. It is the first purpose built affordable build to rent housing project for SJB, Nightingale and Fresh Hope. Comprising 54 Teilhaus homes and two commercial tenancies at ground, the project provides a build to rent community offering that’s affordable, at 80% of the going market rate in the area.

Homes at Nightingale Marrickville are allocated through a balloting process that gives everyone a fair chance at becoming a resident. 50% will be allocated to priority groups, including First Nations Australians, single women over 55, individuals with a disability, and key community contributors. All ballotters will be subject to an income cap.

Teilhaus, meaning part of house in German, are space efficient, small footprint homes that maintain functionality through joinery and the addition of community spaces. The project was designed to prioritise sustainability and cost efficiency.
