Gaw Capital Partners, through its funds under management, and its consortium partners, acquired 29 Hong Kong-based community shopping centers and associated facilities in March 2018 and March 2019.
Gaw Capital Partners officially started to operate over 29 assets and facilities near the public estates and established “People’s Place”. “People” stands for the public and the residents, whereas “Place” here is an allusion to the idiomatic Chinese term for a location of virtue and tradition, as well as a well-governed community; “Place” also connotes the solidarity of the local neighborhood. All in all, “People’s Place” stands for a place rich in sentiments and compassion, bringing strangers together in constructing a vibrant, cozy living environment. People’s Place aspires to transform obsolete commercial facilities into vibrant community hubs by creatively utilizing its space and bringing brand new experiences to residents, tenants and community stakeholders.
In partnership with experienced educators in China, Gaw Capital has invested in the development and operations of Stellart International School of Arts (SISA), an international arts education platform in China. The platform is initially seeded by a commercial site conveniently located in Sanshan New Town in Nanhai, Foshan, which has excellent connectivity nationally via the Guangzhou South Station. The site has a GFA of c.50,000 sqm in total. Operating under the SISA brand and developed by Gaw Capital Partners, the school houses up to 600 full-time high school students in its 6-storey tall academic block and 7-floor dormitory. 
We are thrilled to announce that our acquisition of Tokyu Plaza Ginza — now rebranded as GinzaNovo — has been ranked the no. 1 largest real estate transaction in 2025, according to the Nikkei Real Estate Market Report (Dec 26, 2025).
In partnership with Patience Capital Group (PCG), Gaw Capital acquired this iconic retail landmark in the heart of Ginza in February last year. This recognition underscores our continued conviction in Japan’s prime retail market and our strategy of investing in high-quality, transformative assets in top-tier cities.
With the rebranding plan for GinzaNovo, we are excited to reimagine a flagship retail destination to unlock its long-term potential by leveraging our asset management expertise for our business partners, tenants, and trusted investors.
We are proud to contribute to its evolving real estate landscape and look forward to many more milestone investments to come.
