Neighbourwood Communities Ltd

NeighbourWood Communities Limited operates as a climate infrastructure platform delivering net-zero housing integrated with permanent native woodland restoration. The company employs a ten-to-one model, where ten homes are sustained by one hectare of protected Irish woodland held in trust. Each property is BER A1 certified to Passivhaus specification, heated by earth-source heat pumps and powered by solar energy with battery storage.

The business serves homebuyers, investors, and partners. Residents benefit from significant annual energy savings and dedicated access to their allocated woodland section. The company generates revenue through development profits, perpetual stewardship fees, and environmental credits. Founders Neal and Esther Anderson are purchasing a home in the pilot community at full market rate.

NeighbourWood also offers its operating system for international licensing, particularly targeting markets with biodiversity net gain requirements. The platform aims to address housing shortages and habitat degradation simultaneously. It provides a validated core model with potential for international expansion, ensuring long-term affordability and ecological restoration.
