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. 
Gaw Capital Partners and Tencent Trusted Doctors jointly donated 10,000 sets of Family Doctor Smart Kit Solutions, worth RMB 5 million, to primary care organizations in China for monitoring respiratory infection which may have been caused by the coronavirus.
This kit allows primary care organizations to effectively monitor cases of respiratory infection at home and allows immediate reporting of coronavirus infection when detected. The access it provides family doctors online helps to disseminate official and appropriate advice for combating, and preventing panic about, the disease. At the same time, it relieves the workload of frontline medical staff in hospitals while providing an effective way of inspecting suspected cases.
The kits are applicable to people who have respiratory diseases – even if they have not been to infected areas in Wuhan – people who are suspected or confirmed of having the infection, and those who have been treated in the same facilities as coronavirus cases. The family doctor online service includes monitoring, 24/7 online medical consultation and electronic copies of relevant documents, and doctor referrals. The kit helps monitor a patient’s body temperature, SaO2 level and the degree of C-reactive protein (CRP).
