【GreenFort Capital & Gaw Capital Partners Launch Land Lease Community Platform in Australia】 We are excited to announce the launch of a new joint venture between GreenFort Capital and Gaw Capital Partners, aimed at establishing a land lease community platform in Australia. Through our managed funds, the joint venture is set to acquire and develop an AUD$800 million pipeline of over 50’s land lease community projects. Driven by Australia's ageing population, limited housing supply, and affordability concerns, the platform will initially offer 1,200 land lease dwellings across the east coast of Australia. This move reinforces our commitment to sustainable and innovative projects that positively impact communities. The collaboration builds upon the success of our previous partnership on the Reside Communities retirement living platform, which has grown to more than 1,000 homes with a gross value of approximately AUD$1 billion since 2018. Stay tuned as we continue to drive positive change and meet the evolving needs of Australia's senior population through our land lease community platform.

Humbert Pang, Managing Principal, Head of China, and Co-chair of Alternative Investments at Gaw Capital Partners, participated as a panelist at Mingtiandi APAC Logistics Forum 2024 which took place on 12 June 2024. In the Logistics Investment in Greater China session, Humbert highlighted the diverging market dynamics in mainland China's logistics property sector. He emphasized that assets situated near manufacturing and supply chain hubs are experiencing stronger rental growth and higher valuations. Besides, Humbert also mentioned the discrepancy of the current yields between mainland-listed REITs and Hong Kong-listed ones, which provides logistics assets owners with a desirable channel to exit their position. Watch the full recording on MTD TV to learn more about the exciting investment opportunities within the logistics sector. Thank you Mingtiandi for organizing this insightful event and having us. #GawCapitalPartners #GawCapital #RealEstateInvestment #LogisticsInvestment #CREITs

We are excited to announce the first transaction partnership between Qatar National Bank (Q.P.S.C.) and Gaw Capital. Qatar National Bank (Q.P.S.C.) (“QNB”), the largest financial institution in Qatar with a strong presence in the Middle East and Africa, has recently expanded its footprint in Asia by establishing its Hong Kong Branch. QNB, as the lead manager, has provided its first sustainability-linked loan facility to a portfolio of 16 communities malls in Hong Kong managed by Gaw Capital under the brand name of People’s Place. This marks a significant milestone for both parties, representing QNB's first foray into the Hong Kong real estate backed credit facility and Gaw Capital's first credit facility with a Middle East based bank. Building on this successful credit facility, QNB has joined us in another sustainability-linked loan facility for another batch of assets under People's Place. We would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the trust bestowed upon us as a long-term strategic client by QNB and we are excited to see the growth and opportunities that this partnership brings. We look forward to working together to achieve mutual success. #GawCapitalPartners #GawCapital #QatarNationalBank #RealEstateInvestment #RealEstateFinancing #PeoplesPlace

Isabella Lo, Managing Director, Principal – Investments and Head of Japan at Gaw Capital Partners today spoke at Citi’s 2024 Macro & Pan-Asia Investor Conference. She shared that the rapid depreciation of the yen and low interest rates have driven foreign investors’ interests towards Japan’s real estate market as it offers a positive carry when many other markets’ cap rates are below interest rates. Hence, Japan real estate market continues to outperform. Gaw Capital acquired a portfolio of 29 high-quality multifamily properties strategically located throughout Tokyo earlier in April 2024, offering 835 contemporary apartment units that generate stable cashflow. Apart from that, the data center market is blooming, and is better positioned to meet the dynamic demands of the sustained growth of the digital economy and the AI revolution. Our acquisition of three properties in Fuchu Intelligent Park, Fuchu City, Japan in the past two years strengthened our presence in the well-established data center cluster within 30km from central Tokyo. These acquisitions signify our confidence in the long-term prospects and resilience of Japan's residential sector and data center sector with long-term value and capital growth potential. #GawCapital #GawCapitalPartners #RealEstateInvestment #JapanRealEstate #Citi2024MacroAndPanAsiaInvestorConference
