Warm, energy efficient homes in William Street

Construction is well underway on Habitat Nelson's William Street development, where 10 quality homes are being built to give local families a pathway into homeownership through our Rent-to-Buy programme.

Designed to exceed Healthy Homes Standards, the development is being built using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), an innovative construction system that provides exceptional insulation and creates an airtight building envelope. This helps keep homes warmer in winter, cooler in summer and reduces the energy needed to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Each home will also feature a ventilation system and solar panels, creating healthier homes with lower running costs that are built to perform for many years to come.

The William Street development reflects Habitat for Humanity Nelson's commitment to delivering high quality, affordable homes for families in our region.

The homes are part of our Rent-to-Buy programme, which gives families the opportunity to work towards homeownership. Families who meet the programme criteria pay an affordable rent while building towards purchasing their home outright after five years.

Due to be completed by the end of 2026. We're still accepting applications.
