Square One Property Developers

Construction contractor license

Neither the company Sqonepropertypartners Ltd itself (brands Square One / SqOne) nor individuals related to it were found in the catalogs of the Cyprus Council for Registration of Building Contractors (contractorscouncil.org.cy). The requester had previously personally checked the Limassol catalogs ('Οικοδομικά' and 'Τεχνικά') for 'SQUARE ONE' and 'SQONE' — no matches found. In addition, I downloaded and checked (via pypdf, text-based) the PDF catalogs for Nicosia (Οικοδομικά, 43 pp.; Τεχνικά, 9 pp.), Paphos (Οικοδομικά, 13 pp.), and Larnaca (Οικοδομικά, 26 pp.) for 'SQUARE ONE', 'SQONE', 'SQ ONE', 'PROPERTY PARTNERS', 'PAPADOPOULOS' (Latin and Greek) — no matches with the developer were found; the only match on the surname Papadopoulos was the completely unrelated company 'Georgios Papadopoulos Contracting Limited' in Larnaca. The 'Τεχνικά' catalogs for Paphos/Larnaca and the Famagusta/Ammochostos district catalog were not checked (the files were not found on the council's website). No named third-party general contractor is mentioned on the project pages (squareone.com.cy/en/projects, including SENA and THE DOCKS), in the press (Cyprus Mail, CBN), or on aggregators (dom.com.cy, index.cy) — the company clearly positions itself as a vertically integrated structure with in-house architecture, construction management, sales, and legal support, and for the ESEL project it names only the financial partner 'Dragon Capital', not a construction one. Bottom line: 0 points — the license was not found under any of the checked name variants in any of the checked districts, and no named third-party contractor is disclosed.

• Paphos Construction 'Οικοδομικά' catalog 2025 (13pp) - no match

Legal entity

The registry record HE444631 (companiesregistry.cy) shows four real individuals: director Nikitas Papadopoulos, director Antonis Costa, director and secretary Dimitris Papadopoulos — with no signs of nominee/corporate directors. The same names appear publicly on the team page squareone.com.cy/en/about-us (Demetris Papadopoulos — Managing Director, Antonis Costa — Commercial Director, Nikitas Papadopoulos — Operations Director, Sotiris Pavlides — Technical Director) and in press interviews (CBN, March 2025 — a profile of Demetris Papadopoulos). The match between the registry and the public showcase gives 10/10 for real_directors. The Terms & Conditions page on squareone.com.cy states directly: 'We are SQONEPROPERTYPARTNERS LTD..., registration number ΗΕ 444631', unambiguously linking the marketing brand 'Square One' (domain squareone.com.cy) to the legal entity. However, the separate brand 'SqOne'/domain sqoneproperties.com is not directly mentioned or explained there — the link is visible only indirectly, through the fact that squareone.com.cy itself uses 'SQONE' in its own blog articles as an informal shorthand for 'Square One' (e.g., headlines '...Benefits of Investing with SQONE' and '...with SQONE's hassle-free turnkey solution', hosted on the same domain/same legal entity per the T&C). Since no direct, explicit explanation of the 'SqOne' brand specifically was found anywhere — 5/10 for structure_explained. For completeness: the domain sqoneproperties.com did not resolve at the time of checking (DNS NXDOMAIN) — the site appears to be down or abandoned, so its own legal details cannot be checked directly; the combination of indirect signs (squareone.com.cy's own use of 'SQONE' as an internal nickname, a shared address/contacts, the footer 'SquareOne Property Partners LTD' on properties.squareone.com.cy) suggests this is one and the same brand rather than a separate unaffiliated company, but direct documentary confirmation (e.g., a working footer on sqoneproperties.com) could not be obtained. An additional unresolved point: the founders' public bios and the press point to 'the brand being founded in 2017/2021', whereas HE444631 was registered only on 10.03.2023 — a possible prior legal entity is not mentioned or explained; the press also refers to a 'sister' company, MovingDoors, with no explanation of its formal corporate link to HE444631. These small but real gaps give 5/10 for completeness. Total for the factor: 20/30.

• Square One - About Us / team page (Demetris Papadopoulos - Managing Director, Antonis Costa - Commercial Director, Nikitas Papadopoulos - Operations Director, Sotiris Pavlides - Technical Director)
• CBN - profile interview with Demetris Papadopoulos, Square One
• Square One Terms & Conditions - self-identifies: 'We are SQONEPROPERTYPARTNERS LTD ... registration number ΗΕ 444631' (ties brand 'Square One' to legal entity, but never mentions 'SqOne'/sqoneproperties.com explicitly)
• Square One's own blog casually uses 'SQONE' as an internal nickname for itself, undermining the idea it is a separate brand needing explanation, but also never formally clarifying it
• sqoneproperties.com - domain does not resolve (DNS NXDOMAIN) as of Aug 2026; could not independently verify its own legal/footer text
• Square One news article using 'SQONE' as self-referential brand on squareone.com.cy (same legal entity per T&C)
• properties.squareone.com.cy footer identifies operator as 'SquareOne Property Partners LTD' at the same address as HE444631
• Cyprus Mail - Square One Capital article: company bios say brand 'founded 2021/2017' (predates HE444631's 10.03.2023 registration) and names unexplained sister company 'MovingDoors' - both gaps left unaddressed

Town planning permits

Specific building-permit or town-planning-license numbers ('πολεοδομική άδεια', 'άδεια οικοδομής') were not found either on the official website (project pages squareone.com.cy/en/projects, including SENA and THE DOCKS), or in investment/blog materials (including 'Investing in Cyprus Real Estate'), or in the press (Cyprus Mail — the article on launching 500+ homes in 2026 and the article on Kato Polemidia/ZOIA; CBN — on Square One Capital). Third-party institutional documentation (Limassol municipality, the IPPODAMOS system) explicitly linked to specific Square One projects was also not found. Not even a general developer statement of the type 'all our projects are fully licensed' was found — the checked investment pages and project information do not contain such a statement. Bottom line: 0 points.

• Square One project pages (projects list + SENA + THE DOCKS) - no permit numbers or references
• Cyprus Mail - Kato Polemidia / ZOIA article - no permit info
• Square One investment guide article - no permit/licensing claims of any kind
