Who we are
Who we are
Our heritage
The Abercastle Property Group of companies was formed in 1992 by the amalgamation of several investment and development property businesses.
Historically, our approach has been to acquire strategic properties in locations where there were known office, industrial, hospitality and retail requirements. Through active asset management, the Group then looked to add value to these properties through extension and refurbishment and to increase the wider investment portfolio by strengthening our relationships and meeting the growing needs of the partners who occupy our spaces.
Here at Abercastle, we consistently strive for collaborative success for those partnering with us, which is why we choose to personally manage our properties and those who tenant them. We manage enquiries and solutions directly with our tenants, ensuring prompt and professional responses and solutions.
The development arm of the Group has been involved in projects with a gross development value in excess of One Billion pounds. These include hotels, student housing, food retail, trade parks, motor parks, industrial and residential developments.
We at Abercastle continue to grow our expertise in asset management and the identification of suitable development opportunities with a view to delivering high-quality results for our partners.

Who we are
What we want to become
One of the most highly respected providers of high-quality space for short- or long-term occupation and, in the case of some of our new developments, to deliver value for money to buyers at the point of sale.
In recognition of the shorter cycles and constantly evolving changes in business, economic and lifestyle patterns – especially since the Banking Crisis in quarter one of 2009 and the periods of Lockdown experienced since quarter two in 2020 – our investment and development strategies have been further fine-tuned to focus on properties which not only meet our own specific investment criteria, but also where we believe we can improve our collaborative relationships by providing highly flexible facilities which cater for the evolving requirements of modern occupiers in less certain times:
Our investment criteria
- Properties which can be purchased promptly and cleanly by using the group’s own financial resources dispensing with the need to utilise external borrowings.
- Premises that are well located for their identified existing or alternative uses, where potential diminution of value can be mitigated.
- Buildings that have scope for strong capital growth and/or value enhancement through upgrading & refurbishment, extensions, and lease restructuring to suit the changing needs of occupiers.
Our properties
Abercastle has invested in and managed property in Edinburgh and its surrounding areas for 30 years, and remains focused on its founding principles of quality, design and build, rigorously high standards and the provision of value for money in an array of prime locations.
