SC Capital Partners Secures New CPP Investments Commitment for Japan Hospitality Strategy

SINGAPORE, Jan. 21, 2026 /CNW/ - Singapore-based real estate investment manager SC Capital Partners Group ("SC Capital Partners") announced it has secured a new capital commitment from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPP Investments") for its Japan hospitality strategy.

Building on its established track record, the value-add strategy continues to acquire, reposition, and operate hospitality-related investments across Japan. The latest capital commitment is backed by a consortium comprising CPP Investments and an existing global institutional investor. The existing investor has been investing in the strategy with success since 2022.

Together, the investors have made an initial commitment of up to JPY 51.7 billion (USD 330 million¹), with capacity to increase the total commitments up to JPY 112.7 billion (USD 719 million¹). CPP Investments will invest up to JPY 25.4 billion (USD 162 million¹) in the initial commitment.

The partnership underscores the consortium's conviction in Japan's hospitality sector, underpinned by strong inbound tourism recovery, supportive government initiatives, and resilient domestic demand. SC Capital Partners will leverage its deep local expertise and on-the-ground presence to pursue opportunities across Japan's increasingly competitive hospitality landscape.

"We are delighted to welcome CPP Investments on board as a new partner to our Japan hospitality strategy," said Suchad Chiaranussati, Chairman and Founder of SC Capital Partners. "Japan remains one of the most attractive hospitality markets in Asia, and competition has intensified meaningfully with the influx of global institutional capital. In this environment, strong local networks, disciplined underwriting, and robust on-the-ground execution are the critical differentiators for dealmaking. Hospitality is well-positioned to be among the most rewarding sectors over the next year, supported by flexible pricing dynamics that enable efficient repricing. Leveraging more than two decades of experience and our deep local presence in Japan, we are well placed to continue delivering long-term value for our investors."

Gilles Chow, Head of Real Estate, Asia Pacific, CPP Investments, said "Japan stands out as one of Asia's most attractive hospitality markets, driven by robust growth in inbound tourism alongside sustained domestic demand. This partnership gives us access to high‑quality opportunities and the execution capabilities to convert these tailwinds into long‑term value for CPP contributors and beneficiaries."
