SC Lowy successfully contributed $150 million from its managed funds and syndicated the remaining capital across 22 leading South Korean institutional investors. The deal underscores the strength of SC Lowy’s local partnerships and its proven ability to structure and distribute complex, large-scale transactions in the region.

We’re proud to play a leading role in enabling sophisticated financing solutions for high-quality assets in Asia’s key urban centres.”

The closing comes as SC Lowy continues fundraising for its third Asia-Pacific private credit vintage, which is on track to exceed its $500 million target by the end of the year. The success of this capital raise reflects the firm’s disciplined growth strategy and its continued focus on generating value for investors through differentiated credit opportunities across the region.

Soo Cheon Lee continues: “The success of our fundraising reinforces our growth strategy and commitment to delivering long-term value for our partners. With deep regional expertise and an innovative approach, we’re well-positioned to navigate complexity and provide tailored credit solutions that meet investors’ evolving needs.”
