About SC Capital Partners
SC Capital Partners (SCCP) and its affiliates are managers of the Real Estate Capital Asia Partners (RECAP) series of Pan Asian opportunistic real estate funds as well as a newly launched open-ended core plus fund. The funds have an 11-year track record across the Asia-Pacific, and have raised approximately $1.8 billion in equity commitments from a diverse pool of institutional investors. With over 30 people across six locations, SC Capital Partners’ competitive advantage stems from being firmly embedded in local knowledge, cultures and jurisdictions, giving the firm the resources and networks necessary to execute successfully in the region.
The opportunistic funds are focused on value creation through refurbishing, repositioning and operating real estate assets that are under-managed or from distressed sellers, in areas where market inefficiencies and strong macroeconomic fundamentals yield attractive opportunities. RECAP’s investments are concentrated on physical assets such as residential, office, retail, warehouses and hotel properties. The firm invests across Asia, including (but not limited to) Japan, Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand.
The core plus fund will focus on stabilized income-producing assets such as office, retail, residential, logistics and other similar assets. The fund will invest primarily in the developed markets of Asia such as Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.
