SC Capital Partners Acquires Hotel in Central Tokyo

TOKYO, July 8, 2026 – SC Capital Partners Group (“SC Capital Partners”), a leading real estate investment management firm in the Asia Pacific region, today announced the acquisition of a 206-room hotel located in central Tokyo through its Japan Hospitality Fund.

The hotel is situated in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo's premier districts for offices, shopping, and entertainment. Shinjuku offers excellent transportation convenience, a concentration of shopping and entertainment facilities, and is a major business hub within the city, attracting both leisure travelers from Japan and abroad, as well as robust business demand.

While the surrounding market is characterized by a prevalence of relatively small, accommodation-focused hotels, this property, with its 206 rooms, represents a rare investment opportunity to transform it into a higher-value accommodation facility in a highly sought-after Tokyo location.

The Tokyo hotel market continues to benefit from a favorable environment, driven by strong inbound tourism demand and steady domestic travel. However, rising construction costs, labor shortages, and persistently high financing costs are limiting new hotel supply, creating a positive medium- to long-term supply and demand dynamic for well-located hotel assets.

SC Capital Partners plans to implement a comprehensive value-add strategy for this property. Through this strategy, the firm aims to better capture the growing inbound tourism demand, enhance the guest experience, and strengthen the hotel's long-term competitiveness.

Suchad Chiaranussati, Founder and Chairman of SC Capital Partners Group, commented:

"We remain strongly confident in the medium- to long-term growth prospects of the Japanese hotel market. Tokyo has established itself as one of the world's most attractive hotel investment markets, supported by solid domestic demand, robust inbound tourism, and limited new supply."

"Realizing investment opportunities like this requires deep local market knowledge, specialized expertise in hotel investment and operations, and the execution capability to undertake large-scale value-up initiatives. We believe that by leveraging our long-standing business foundation in Japan and our integrated platform spanning hotel investment, operations, and asset management, we can unlock the potential of hotel assets of this scale and transform them into appealing hotels that meet the needs of today's travelers."

SC Capital Partners has a strong track record in the Japanese hotel sector since 2010, having invested over US$1.3 billion across its private fund strategies, encompassing 60 hotels with approximately 13,000 rooms. Its investment activities have been diverse, including the acquisition and sale of hotels, the acquisition and integration of two hotel-specialized J-REITs, and the acquisition of controlling stakes in REIT management companies and hotel operators.

To further expand its platform in Japan, the firm welcomed Daisuke Hiramoto as Country Head in the latter half of 2024, strengthening its investment and asset management capabilities within the country.

SC Capital Partners Group is the majority shareholder of Japan Hotel REIT Advisors Co., Ltd. (“JHRA”), which serves as the asset manager for Japan Hotel REIT Investment Corporation (“JHR”). JHR is one of Japan's leading hotel-focused REITs, holding a portfolio of 52 hotels with 14,842 rooms, and a total appraised value exceeding US$5.3 billion [1] (approximately ¥859.6 billion [2]).

In addition to the hotel sector, SC Capital Partners is also actively investing in various other real estate sectors in Japan, including rental housing, student housing, corporate housing, offices, retail properties, and credit investments.
