August 11, 2020, Hong Kong – Real estate private equity firm Gaw Capital Partners announced that it has closed two investment vehicles totaling up to US$900 million in commitments.
The first vehicle will focus primarily on real estate opportunities across sectors and markets in Asia.
The second vehicle will invest in education platforms in major Asian cities with strong structural tailwinds supporting growth in demand for premium international or bilingual education. The fund will look to partner and work with top-tier school operators through greenfield or brownfield development, and through acquisition of properties.
Stellart International School of Arts (SISA) is the first education platform project for the Education mandate. Located in Guangzhou South, and developed by Gaw Capital Partners, SISA, specializing in creative art and design, shares a vision that everyone is an artist to be discovered. Its mission is to motivate and cultivate rising stars in the arts and make every endeavor to support them on their journeys. By integrating globally recognized academic and practical programs, with flexibility in personalized development as well as industrial experience, SISA will prepare students for a successful life, at and beyond world-class art institutes.
Christina Gaw, Managing Principal and Head of Capital Markets, commented, “We are delighted to close these new investment vehicles following Gateway Real Estate Fund VI’s highly successful fundraising round. Investor demand for education and other value-add and opportunistic opportunities in Asia reinforces our belief that such investments will play an increasingly important role in real estate portfolios moving forward.”
In addition to Gaw Capital Partners’ six funds in the Gateway Fund series targeting Asia Pacific, Gaw Capital Partners also manages opportunistic funds in Vietnam and the US along with a Pan Asia Hospitality Fund and European Hospitality Fund. Additionally, Gaw Capital also provides services for separate account direct investments in the global markets. Gaw Capital has also successfully developed a sizable logistics platform, medical-asset backed platform, mini-storage platform, premium outlet malls and education-related platform in recent years to help support the growth and management of these assets.



Gaw Capital Partnersは運用中のファンドを通して、コンソーシアムのパートナーと共に、2018年3月と2019年3月に、29件の香港ベースのコミュニティーショッピングセンターと関連施設を取得しました。Gaw Capital Partnersは、公共不動産付近の29件以上の資産と施設の運営を正式に開始し、「民坊(People's Place)」を構築しました。「民(People)」は一般人と住居を表しており、「坊(Place)」は巧みに管理されたコミュニティーのみならず、美徳と伝統がある場所に対するイディオム的な中国の表現を意味しています。また、「坊」は、現地の近隣の団結も暗示しています。「民坊(People's Place)」は活気に溢れ、居心地の良い生活環境で見知らぬ者を団結させ、気持ちや思いやりが豊かな場所を表しています。「民坊(People's Place)」は、空間を時代遅れの商用施設をクリエイティブで活気あるコミュニティーハブに転換させることを目指しています。
中国で経験豊かな教育者と提携し、Gaw Capitalは中国での国際的な芸術教育プラットフォームであるStellart International School of Arts (SISA )の開発と運営に投資してきました。このプラットフォームは、広州南駅から国内的に優れた接続性を有する仏山の南海にある三山ニュータウンにある便利な商業用地で誕生しました。敷地は約50,000m²の総床面積を有しています。SISAブランドで運営され、Gaw Capital Partnersにより開発されたこのスクールは6階建ての校舎と7階建ての寮に最大600人の高校生を収容します。
