*SCAPE
*SCAPE Co. Ltd is a non-profit organisation that supports youth, talent and leadership development. The organisation aims to motivate and empower youths to realise their potential, and seeks to be the home of enterprising youths committed to creating their own future.

The *SCAPE building, incorporating community and retail spaces, was launched in 2010.
