RA Shaw Group becomes SKAPE Design+Build

The RA Shaw Group has re-branded as SKAPE Design + Build. Meaning "Create" in Norwegian, "this fresh identity confidently represents the path forward for the firm," said its owners of 4 years, partners Kerry Haakonson and Loreen Haakonson. The SKAPE brand proudly reflects the legacy of RA Shaw Group's 20 years of creating award-winning custom villas in the Turks & Caicos. SKAPE is the parent brand for the firm's continued design and construction of highly sought-after vacation residences, as well as 2022 expansions into villa marketing and facilities management of both properties and outdoor environments.

Acquired in 2018 with the retirement of Ron Shaw, the firm under its new leadership has built an agile, more modern, and diverse organization that better understands and delivers upon the needs and aspirations of a younger generation of clients.

The firm will focus on the logistics and quantifiable benefits of vacation properties as foreign investment vehicles alongside the already widely shared goal of "Living the dream in the Turks & Caicos". The firm will also increase its leadership role in discussing Caribbean real-estate investing online using the hashtag #SKAPETCI on Twitter and LinkedIn. Additionally, it will publish articles and editorial content on "Insights," its new blog.

The transition from rashawgroup.com to its new home at skapetci.com will roll out in 2022.
