Building homes for Oxford

We build high-quality, sustainable homes that people in Oxford can afford to buy or rent.

Oxford needs more homes, and Oxford City Council is committed to delivering them. That’s why OX Place was set up in 2016 as the Council’s housing company.

We focus on creating high-quality, affordable homes for local people.
Any profits are reinvested back into the city supporting local services
and funding more homes where they’re needed most.

We do things differently.

As part of Oxford City Council, we take a long term approach, reinvesting profits into local services and building more genuinely affordable homes. By focusing on brownfield sites and high-quality, sustainable design, we’re proving that better homes for Oxford are possible.

A different way to buy

Shared ownership lets you buy a share of your home and pay rent on the rest. Over time, you can buy more of it, and sometimes own it outright.
