Orkney Islands Property Developments Ltd

Orkney Islands Property Developments Ltd (OIPDL) was established, with the full support of Orkney Islands Council, as a company limited by guarantee and incorporated on 29 May 1991.

Whilst its main objective was to provide housing management services, it was also recognised to be a crucially important organisation, working together with the Council and Orkney Housing Association Ltd, in ensuring that housing needs throughout Orkney were adequately addressed.

The Company has, with the aid of grants from the Scottish Government and Orkney Islands Council, built various housing schemes throughout Orkney.
