Neighborhoods Built by Neighbors (NBN)

We’re not just building buildings. We’re building power.

Neighborhoods Built by Neighbors is York XL’s most ambitious and transformative effort yet—designed to shift who owns, who benefits, and who decides in York City neighborhoods.

At its core, NBN is about turning local residents—those too often left out of development decisions—into small-scale, community-based developers. It’s about helping families become owners instead of renters, builders instead of bystanders, and investors in their own future.

This is a project created with and for York residents, designed to ensure that economic mobility and neighborhood transformation start from within.
