Frequently asked questions
How is Hwa Hong structured following the privatization?
Hwa Hong is now a privately held corporation controlled by the Ong family through their holding vehicle, Ely Investments Pte. Ltd. The 2024 delisting removed SGX disclosure obligations and quarterly reporting requirements, effectively transforming it into a permanent-capital family office with legacy operating assets and a concentrated property portfolio.
What real estate does Hwa Hong own directly?
The portfolio is split between Singapore and London. Known holdings include 110 Paya Lebar Road and Scotts Spazio in Singapore, plus Allen House (Kensington), 20 Midtown (Holborn), 20 Garrett Street (Clerkenwell), and residential assets on Queen's Gate and Hornton Street in London. These are predominantly commercial and prime residential freehold or long-leasehold interests.
What is Shorea Capital's relationship to Hwa Hong Corporation?
Shorea Capital is a Singapore-based fund management firm led by Ong Eng Yaw, the son of patriarch Ong Choo Eng. It operates the Shorea Capital London Office Fund, which partners with the family's direct UK property interests. The firm serves as the institutional fund-management arm adjacent to the family's proprietary balance-sheet investing.
