Boutique hotel in Downtown Core sold for $203m

BIG hotel was bought by Gaw Capital Partners.

Gaw Capital Partners has acquired the 308-room BIG hotel in Singapore for S$203 million (US$143 million).

This is the first Singapore hotel acquisition for Gaw, a Hong Kong-based real estate private equity firm.

It is the firm’s second significant hotel purchase in 2015, after the purchase of InterContinental Hong Kong for US$938 million in September.

The sale was facilitated by JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group with JLL Capital Markets Singapore on behalf of the owner, Singapore-based ERC Unicampus.

The 8,800 square metre (94,657 square foot) BIG hotel is located in central Singapore. Originally an office building, it was converted by ERC Unicampus and opened in 2013. Facilities include a restaurant, bar, gym, car park and convenience store.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
