JSM advises Shorea Capital on its acquisition of The Pemberton

Our Real Estate team advised Shorea Capital on its recent acquisition of The Pemberton, a commercial building located at Nos. 22-26 Bonham Strand, Hong Kong.

The transaction marks Shorea Capital’s first living-sector acquisition in Hong Kong. Shorea Capital is a Singapore-based investment management firm with over S$2 billion in assets under management, specialising in real estate, wealth management and multi-asset investment solutions. Shorea Capital plans to submit applications for the conversion of the 24-storey commercial building into high-quality living accommodation. The move reflects a broader investment thesis centred on the gap between limited supply and growing occupier demand in Hong Kong’s accommodation market, particularly for well-located, professionally managed living products.

We are pleased to have supported Shorea Capital on this milestone transaction.

The matter was led by Real Estate partner Eugene Wong, and supported by senior associates Richard Tang and Natalie Oh.
