LANDLORDS

Transform your commercial property into a thriving Innovation Hub

At Sciopolis, we partner with forward-thinking landlords, universities and local authorities to transform underutilised commercial properties into thriving science and technology Innovation Hubs, creating sustainable revenue streams while addressing critical demand for cost-effective, activated innovation spaces.

WHY WORK WITH SCIOPOLIS?

Pragmatic, cost-effective delivery

Following our rapid diagnostic study on the building and its existing ecosystem, we design, build, fitout, launch and activate spaces quickly, with site openings possible within 12 months of signoff

Ecosystem building

Our “black book” of academics, industry and service partners ensures tenants have the support they need. This increases retention and tenant success, creating a pipeline of activity for future developments

Ready to occupy labs and offices

Tenants move in without upfront capital expenditure, removing friction and accelerating occupancy. This makes your property more attractive to high growth ventures

Initial Masterplan activation

Whether it’s a single building or an ambitious masterplan you are building, the key is to get started fast.

Our hubs act as anchor buildings for wider regeneration projects, shaping the narrative and helping clusters grow organically

Operational excellence

We don’t just fill space, we actively manage and operate hubs to ensure compliance, efficiency and a vibrant community

SCIOPOLIS DELIVERS END-TO-END DEVELOPMENT

From initial concept through fit-out completion, we handle the technical and operational complexities that make laboratory space rental different from traditional commercial property management.

Design & Build Expertise

We know how to deliver CL2 labs, offices, and shared amenities cost-effectively. From concept to fit-out, we handle the technical and operational complexities

Ecosystem creation

Our experience and networks allow us to curate the right mix of partners, events and services to attract tenants and create a vibrant ecosystem around your building

Identity & promotion

We create compelling propositions that drive occupancy, enhance the value of your asset and position it as part of a UK-wide innovation network

Operational Support

We manage day-to-day operations: from lab compliance and shared facilities to community programming, so you retain control of your property without the hassle

WHY NOW?

Demand for cost-effective, flexible, ready to occupy laboratory and office space is high among early-stage science and technology ventures. While central to the Government’s Industrial Strategy, this market remains underserved, leaving many innovators struggling to find suitable space.

By partnering with us, you can:

Activate underutilised assets and unlock new revenue streams.
Tap into an emerging market of science and technology ventures.
Enhance long-term value by aligning your property with one of the UK’s most dynamic growth sectors.
