About Saltire

A long-term approach to property

Saltire Business Parks is a privately owned property investment and development company with a long-term approach to real estate.

How we operate

We are privately owned, invest long-term capital and make decisions quickly, and we are prepared to buy the assets others find too complicated.

01

Privately owned

Saltire is a privately owned company. We are not tied to fund cycles, so we can take a genuinely long-term view of the property we buy and build.

02

Quick, direct decisions

Decisions are made by a small team close to every asset, so owners, agents and occupiers get a clear answer quickly.

03

Long-term capital

We acquire, develop and hold property for the long term, investing in improvements that create enduring value.

04

Hands-on asset management

We manage our portfolio ourselves, working directly with occupiers, contractors and professional advisers.

05

Comfortable with complexity

We will consider assets that larger institutional investors may find too operational or complicated, from operating property to land that needs planning or infrastructure.
