SHANGHAI, November 1, 2016 –Gaw Capital Partners today announced the

completion of the investment in naked Hub, the Shanghai-based network of

coworking spaces through one of the funds under its management.

The new expansion of capital will be used to finance the opening of

new naked Hub workspaces inside and outside of China, adding 24-30 new naked

Hub locations (approximately 150,000 square meters & 30,000 members) across

China, Hong Kong, Singapore and other key cities in southeast Asia. Coworking

is projected to grow 68% annually from 2016 and 2018; beginning with its home

base in Shanghai, naked Hub strives to become a top player in coworking across

China and Asia.

“We are delighted to be part of the growing

trend in the coworking office market especially with an operator with a proven

commitment and track record in China. The lifestyle and hospitality approach of

naked Group is very similar to Gaw Capital’s DNA: Passion, Responsibility and Creativity.

The potential synergies between the two groups will further enhance both of our

positions as market leaders in the region,” said Humbert Pang, Managing Principal

Head of China for Gaw Capital Partners.
