About Us
Candelisa is a multi award-winning property developer with roots in architecture and design. Formed from a successful Yorkshire architects’ practice, we’ve grown into a well-respected development company known for creating high-quality spaces across the North of England and beyond.
Our strength lies in finding thoughtful solutions for real spaces and real people — whether it’s transforming a historic building into beautiful homes, regenerating underused sites, or designing new-build housing that blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
We have a particular passion for the sensitive conversion of existing buildings, bringing character, craftsmanship and modern design together in a way that feels both fresh and timeless. Every project is approached with care, creativity, and a strong sense of place.
At Candelisa, we believe great design should serve the people who use it. We take pride in delivering projects that reflect the character of their location, meet the needs of their communities, and stand the test of time — and we enjoy the process as much as we hope the future owners enjoy living in them.
