About

Future-focused property developers

Agile, dynamic, and always looking to spot opportunities, we’ve been creating award-winning premium developments across Scotland’s central belt since 1999.

Our unique combination of knowledge in both the property market and building industry has empowered us to transform brownfield sites into vibrant residential communities. All with robust social and sustainability credentials. 

Ambitious restorations of old schools and other forgotten buildings, like The Atrium and Napiershall Street, have earned us an enviable reputation. Not only as one of the country’s most trusted premium developers, but as urban regeneration specialists who are passionate about quality and the environment, too.

Stephen Mckechnie

Founder & Director
Stephen started Kelvin Properties in 1999, specialising in buy-to-let residential properties.

By combining his vast expertise in Scotland’s residential market with rewarding investment opportunities, he grew the company into one the country’s largest private residential landlords.

Stephen splits his time between the office and being on-site, having absolute control over all aspects of the business. He is still pivotal in helping secure the right opportunities and the right people to set the business up for success in the future. His tireless efforts have transformed Kelvin Properties into an award-winning developer, and now he’s focusing on expanding the business across Central Scotland.

Marc Taylor

Director
Marc’s career began in residential property management. First, he established a letting agency in 2009, before adding property factoring to his portfolio in 2013. Over the following years, Marc became a specialist in his field, driving business growth and building a network of key industry contacts. 

He has had considerable exposure to Scotland’s ever-changing private rentals landscape, and as the sector has evolved, Marc’s interest in property development has gathered pace. Experienced in letting and factoring, property development was a natural next step.

Forward-thinking building for future living

By breathing new life into old sites, we’re supporting Scottish cities to thrive and flourish. Attracting talent, boosting local economies, creating social spaces, addressing the housing shortage. Our developments aim to achieve more than simply offering shelter. 

While enhancing the urban fabric has many merits, it can come at an ecological cost. So, in our upcoming developments, we have factored in everything from solar panels to ground source heat pumps and rain gardens to reduced car parking for improving and encouraging sustainability and biodiversity.

As well as the planet, we care deeply for the people who live in the communities we create.  

Ambitious restorations of old schools and other forgotten buildings, like The Atrium, Candleriggs Court and Napiershall Street, have earned us an enviable reputation. Not only as one of the country’s most trusted premium developers, but as urban regeneration specialists who are passionate about quality and the environment, too.

While we’d work relentlessly to revitalise urban centres without them, awards help us recognise the important impact we’re making in the Scottish property market. We’re incredibly proud of our work and our awards below.
