Company Profile

Scape Homes is a privately owned, expanding property development company renowned for building high quality developments regardless of sector.

Scape’s current focus is on turn-key developments.

Along with our team of professionals, we lead projects from initial feasibility stages through design, site acquisition and planning; we then manage the construction process through to practical completion and handover.

Highly acclaimed for the quality of build and design, Scape Homes is a forward-looking company with innovative ideas.

Having made its mark in refurbishment, conversion and new build residential schemes, the company turned its attention to Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA).

The first such project was Centro Court in Loch Street, Aberdeen. The 56 Studio development was completed on time ready for the 2013 academic year. Scape operated the facility for two years, before selling the asset to EMPIRIC Student Property. Funding was through RBS Aberdeen and a consortium of private investors.

St Peter Studios, St Peter Street, Aberdeen followed. This 125 Studio Development was completed on time for the 2016 Academic year.

The development was forward funded by EMPIRIC Student Property.

The GDV of the combined sites was over £20,000,000.

Scape Homes secured planning consent on a further site at Haymarket Yards, Edinburgh. The site generated a lot of interest and following a substantial offer with a healthy uplift it was sold to another PBSA Developer.

A further PBSA opportunity arose and designs for a scheme of Studio and Cluster Flats were submitted for planning with Stirling council. Although the planner was minded to approve, planning permission was refused by the council and refused on appeal by the reporter.

During the last five years the Scape management has been looking to take advantage in the increase in demand in the care home sector and has identified several sites suitable for care homes.

Scape has been negotiating with operators with a view to providing turn-key solutions and aim to secure funds for several projects.

Sadly, our planning application for a Care Home in Stonehaven was lost on appeal, but we were able to sell a site in Dalgety Bay to an operator/funder after planning was awarded for a 68 Bed Scheme.

Three other sites have been identified and options secured. These are in the early stages of the process of preparing applications for planning consent.
