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。 
Hong Kong,

–The
InterContinental Hong Kong was named the winner of the Single Asset Transaction
of the Year Award by the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific (HICAP),
October 19-21 in Hong Kong. HICAP is Asia’s largest and longest running hotel
investment event.
According to the announcement from HICAP: “In September 2015, the iconic
InterContinental Hong Kong was acquired by Supreme Key Limited (a consortium of
investors managed by Gaw Capital) from InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) for
USD938 million. The transaction represented the largest single hotel
transaction ever in Asia Pacific and the second largest globally. The sale was
the most significant trophy hotel to have transacted in the Hong Kong market in
over a decade.” It was Gaw Capital Partners’ first separate account investment
in Asia. Since acquiring the iconic property one year ago, Gaw Capital team
has been readying the renovation, which will “kick-off” toward the end of 2017
or in early 2018.
Goodwin Gaw, Chairman and Managing Principal of Gaw Capital Partners,
said “We are delighted that the InterContinental Hong Kong, a transaction led
by Gaw Capital, received this prestigious award from HICAP. Since the
acquisition, we have creatively leveraged our experience in hotel management to
ensure that the InterContinental Hong Kong remains and thrives as a world class
hotel property; we are excited at the upcoming renovation and we have been in
touch with some of the world’s leading designers for this special renovation
project.”
Gaw Capital Partners and
its affiliates have a long history in turning around and repositioning hotels
successfully. The iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, acquired by
Goodwin Gaw and his partners in 1995, has once again become a hotspot for
Hollywood’s stars and celebrities after a series of renovations. GCP
Hospitality, an operating platform for Gaw Capital Partners in the hospitality
industry, runs 23 properties in Asia and the US including flagship Hotel G
properties in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Suzhou and Shenzhen,
as well as the legendary Strand Hotel and Strand Cruise in Yangon and the
management of soon to be opened Roosevelt Macau.
