*SCAPE is an answer to the voices of 2,200 young people who were consulted in an exercise conducted by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports in 2004 on how the ministry can engage young people. The current *SCAPE building was thus born, a place that encourages young people to dream and to actualize their creative talents through our various facilities such as music studios for developing the inner musician, dance studios (The Studios) for the young talented dancers, a versatile space (The Street + Market) to develop entrepreneurial spirits and for natural congregation of the youth, new media center (Grid) for the tech savvy, an auditorium (The Warehouse) and an outdoor concourse (The Playspace) for the young people to showcase their talents and participate in urban sports, and institutional partners to complete the equation by taking care of the social development and wellness of the youth in The Cache.

Besides the physical venue and facilities, *SCAPE also embraces a novel concept - one that specifically targets retailers with social marketing concepts. Resident retailers are part of *SCAPE’s fraternity of community-focused businesses – they share and collaborate with us their social cause initiatives.
