At Scape we’re on a mission to redefine the standard for sustainable structures and crafting future­-ready developments. We’re thrilled to share a monumental achievement that propels us into the spotlight, receiving the prestigious Global Sector Leader status in Residential Developments, awarded by GRESS.

Scape stole the show with an outstanding score of 99/100 in the Development Benchmark, which is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability with the average score being 94/100.

It is a pivotal achievement in our ongoing journey to become Earth’s best living company and embodies the core values we share as a unified team.
