View Contact / News /London

Squire Patton Boggs has advised SC Capital Partners Group (SCCP), a leading global real asset manager, on an agreement to sell a 40% stake to CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) for S$280 million (US$214 million). CLI will fund its initial investment of the 40% stake through cash, with the deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. CLI will acquire the remaining stake in SCCP in phases over the next five years, subject to the fulfilment of conditions, providing a pathway for CLI’s full ownership of SCCP by 2030. 

The Squire Patton Boggs team advising Mr. Suchad Chiaranussati, Chairman and Founder of SCCP, was led by Corporate senior associate Matt Lappin, director Calum Thom and partner Julian Thatcher in London.

SCCP is a leading Asia Pacific real estate investment manager headquartered in Singapore with a presence across eight locations in the region and has a total funds under management of S$11 billion.

As part of the partnership, CLI will also invest a minimum of S$524 million (US$400 million) strategic capital in SCCP’s fund strategies to support the growth of the platform.  SCCP will continue to operate independently until CLI completes its acquisition of the remaining 60% stake in SCCP. CLI and SCCP’s combined listed and private funds management platform will expand CLI’s network and capabilities across key Asia Pacific markets and sectors including hospitality, living, and renewables.

Julian Thatcher commented, “We are delighted to advise on this transaction and to work alongside the team at SCCP. The deal illustrates the international capacity of the corporate and private equity team at Squire Patton Boggs and our ability to execute complex multi-jurisdictional matters for our clients.”
