For strata managers
Owner corporation managers are stretched. Buildings expect more than they used to, and “do something for the community” is now on the list. It rarely fits a manager’s actual week.
High Neighbour runs the events. You take the credit. Your buildings stay happier, longer.
We currently run events with The Knight, Netstrata and OCX.
The challenge
Owners want managers who look after the building and the community inside it. Resident events are the kind of value-add committees remember at renewal. Nobody has the bandwidth to actually run them.
Leave them off the table and you look transactional. Take them on and you add another job to a stretched team. Neither feels right.
We are a Social Enterprise B-Corp aligned
We exist to create a fairer and more sustainable world, applying commercial strategies to maximise improvements in social wellbeing. Our revenue and profits are utilised to increase the impact we can make, without the pressure of satisfying shareholding interests. At High Neighbour, we aim to reduce loneliness and build a sense of belonging in apartment living.
How it works for you
01
We run events branded with your firm alongside ours, on co-branded standing banners.
02
Your residents see your name in the event flyers and on the day at the venue.
03
You absorb zero operational load. We handle planning, invites, attendance, food and facilitation.
04
We invoice you directly, the building, or split. Your call per contract.
The business case
The cost of running one resident event is a fraction of what a building is worth in annual management fees. One renewal saved pays for years of events. Residents who feel looked after don’t go shopping for new managers.
We aren’t selling you a service. We’re selling you a way to make your existing service stickier.
What our partners say
Working with Shuennie and the High Neighbour team has been invaluable in delivering a series of community-building events that may not otherwise have got off the ground. High Neighbour take care of the organisation, promotion and hosting, support that is crucial in the busy world of owners corporations, where managers and committees are often time-poor and find it challenging to create opportunities for residents to connect. Shuennie is organised, approachable and a pleasure to work with, and the feedback from attendees has been consistently positive.
The Knight, owners corporation manager
Shuennie and the High Neighbour team have been a fantastic partner for OCX over the past couple of years. They make it easy for us to deliver something genuinely valuable to our clients, beyond the usual strata management service. Community-building in high-density buildings is a major value-add. It changes the relationship with clients, creates a more positive experience for residents, and positions us as more than a strata manager dealing with meetings and maintenance. Shuennie is brilliant at making us look good, with events that are well run, well branded and aligned with both High Neighbour and OCX. There is a real commercial benefit too. Better relationships support higher retention, especially across our most important tier-one buildings. Once we make the introduction, she takes care of everything. We strongly recommend High Neighbour to any strata manager looking for a smart, practical way to add value for clients.

Questions
Exactly. That’s the point. You commit nothing on the day and very little in the lead-up.
Some do, and we’re not trying to replace that. We run an event your building can opt into. The free trial means zero risk to whatever residents have already set up.
Flexible. Some managers pay, some buildings pay, some split. We fit your preferred model.
