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.

Deals to Include Acquisition, Development and Management of Modern Warehouses in China
June 24, 2015 – Gaw Capital Partners, the Hong Kong–based real estate private equity firm, announced that it has reached an agreement with Vailog China for the acquisition, development and management of modern warehouses in China through its GREF IV.
Vailog China entered the China market in 2006 and has become a major logistics developer in China, working in joint venture with other first class developers such as GLP. As of June 2015, Vailog China boasts a track record of over 1,300,000 sqm of warehouses completed or under construction.
Gaw Capital’s investments have been spanning the spectrum of residential development, commercial offices, retail malls, serviced apartments, and hotels. Through this important deal, Gaw Capital’s strategic capabilities will broaden to include the acquisition, development and management of industrial real estate in China as well.
GREF IV has committed to several projects in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang and Guangzhou. With further capital injection from co-investment, this joint venture plans to acquire another seven pipeline development projects in the next 12 months in order to build up a high quality, nationwide logistics portfolio of one million square meters of net leasable area.
Kenneth Gaw, President and Managing Principal of Gaw Capital Partners, said, “We are quite pleased to partner with Vailog China for this very meaningful deal. Currently, warehouse stock per capita in the US is 12 times that in China, indicating room for growth. Modern logistics stock in China only takes up about a very small portionof total market stock – and this is a still undersupplied sector versus other asset classes. Demand is driven among others by the rise of consumption and e-commerce, which have grown by respectively 12% and 84% annually over the last 7 years. Our cooperation with Vailog is aiming at this market and will build a high quality Shanghai-centric nation-wide portfolio, mostly on China’s tier-one markets.”
Christina Gaw, Head of Capital Markets and Managing Principal of Gaw Capital Partners,alludes to the success with the support from a consortium of Asian-based sovereign fund investors to enable an initial platform size of USD 300 million, with a target of USD 1 billion eventually.
Walter Qian, CEO of Vailog China, said “We are delighted to welcome Gaw Capital as a first class partner for the development of our business. With its long experience and in-depth real estate expertise, Gaw Capital will help Vailog reach important business targets, including offering our customers a wide range of high quality logistics facilities throughout China.
