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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
