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, 20 Feb, 2022 – Gaw Capital Partners announced today the firm is partnering with Aurabeat to provide air purifiers that kills 99.997% of the coronavirus to the elderly homes in the People’s Place, a retail portfolio comprising of 29 neighbourhood shopping centres spanning across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories. Through this partnership, Gaw Capital Partners will donate 300 units of Medical Grade Silver Ion Antiviral Air Purifier to the Elderly Home in People’s Place. Gaw Capital Partners hopes this initiative will provide the elderly and the underprivileged with additional protection in their living space, while fighting the challenging fifth wave.
Besides the donation of the anti-viral air purifiers to the elderly homes in the People’s Place, Gaw Capital is also exploring to implement Covid-19 air purifiers across its worldwide real estate portfolio to provide safe and clean air indoors. The Aurabeat’s air purifiers have already been deployed in highly infectious environments such as various Covid-19 sample collection points and quarantine facilities in the government and Hong Kong public hospitals.
Mr. Kenneth Gaw, President and Managing Principal of Gaw Capital Partners, said, “Amid the challenging fifth wave, we are taking action and partnering with Aurabeat to donate 300 units of medical-grade air purifiers that are designed to sharply reduce exposure to Covid-19 indoors to the elderly who can truly benefit from them. We will continue to monitor the pandemic situation and aid the city’s anti-epidemic efforts to fight against the fifth wave.”
Hong Kong-based Aurabeat has created an air purifier that can eliminate over 99.997% of variant Covid-19 in 36 seconds. Aurabeat’s AG+ Silver Ion Antiviral Air Purifier cleans the air up to 3.4 times in one hour while actively eliminating bacteria and viruses. The air filtration device can complement indoor coronavirus precautions like mask-wearing and social distancing, or offer additional protection in residential spaces where people are less likely to wear masks.
