A2Dominion

What A2Dominion does

A2Dominion Group is a UK housing association headquartered at 113 Uxbridge Road, Ealing, operating across London and Southern England through multiple regional offices. Founded in the 1940s and structured as an exempt charity under the Co-operative & Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, RSH Reg. L4240), it owns or manages 38,290 homes serving over 70,000 customers across social rent, affordable rent, shared ownership, private rent, student, key worker, supported and temporary accommodation. The group's operating model combines direct tenancy allocation, local authority partnerships for supported housing and regeneration, and market-rate sales through the FABRICA brand (launched 2015). Underlying technology consists of standard housing-association property management and tenant-services systems rather than any proprietary platform; notable technical assets are concentrated in sustainable construction rather than software, exemplified by the Elmsbrook eco-town at NW Bicester (UK's first eco-town, with combined heat and power, solar, rainwater harvesting and smart-home features).
