HONG KONG, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Rykadan Capital Limited (“Rykadan Capital” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; SEHK: 2288), today announced a strategic alliance with Jerde Partnership (“JERDE”), the internationally recognised architecture and urban design firm, marking a significant step in the evolution of the Group’s growth model.
The alliance will leverage Rykadan Capital’s investment, asset management and development expertise with JERDE’s global design vision and people-centric innovation to pursue design-led property development opportunities across Asia.
For over 40 years, JERDE has built a strong international reputation for creating destination-driven environments that integrate creativity, sustainability and community value. Headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Shanghai, Seoul, Hong Kong and Singapore, the firm’s projects attract more than 1.5 billion visitors globally each year.
Backed by deep experience in real estate investment, asset management and development, Rykadan Capital brings a disciplined, value-oriented approach to identifying and unlocking real estate investment opportunities across Asia. The Group has invested a total of US$1.6 billion in assets to date, transacted 20 deals, exited 15 assets, and currently manages assets with a stated value of US$430 million across four countries.
By leveraging their complementary strengths, the two firms will explore opportunities in new developments, mixed-use projects and asset repositioning initiatives, with a focus on enhancing design, functionality and long-term asset performance.
The alliance reflects Rykadan Capital’s strategy of pairing capital discipline with best-in-class external expertise to unlock differentiated opportunities in urban regeneration and experience-led real estate. Recent collaborations, including Rykadan Capital’s Rykadan One headquarters in Hong Kong, have already demonstrated the strength of this model by combining distinctive architectural expression with advantageous commercial outcomes.
Mr. William Chan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Rykadan Capital Limited, said: “Real estate today must go beyond functionality — it should endure as a work of art. Through this alliance with JERDE, we aim to create spaces that are not only commercially resilient, but also culturally meaningful.”
Phil Kim, Chairman of JERDE, said, “Our shared vision for the alliance is to regenerate spaces in ways that respond to what people value most today — comfort, identity and joy. Together, we believe design and investment can shape the next generation of sustainable city living.”
The alliance reflects both companies’ confidence in the long-term opportunities across Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mainland China, as cities continue to evolve in response to changing lifestyles and community needs.
