Frasers Commercial Trust's net property income rises

Thanks to the stronger AUD and high contribution from 357 Collins St.

Frasers Commercial Trust reported a slight growth in its net property income for the quarter ending in June, up 1.5% to $27.9m.

According to CIMB analyst Lock Mun Yee, this is due to the stronger Australian dollar and higher contribution from 357 Collins St.

"This more than offset the lower occupancies at China Square Central (CSC), Alexandra Technopark (ATP) and Central Park in Perth, as well as negative rental reversion at CSC," Lock noted. 

The group's distribution per unit of 2.4 S-cents was marginally lower compared to last year.

For the said quarter, the portfolio occupancy crept up to 92.6%, with higher occupancy at the Singapore portfolio more than offset the decline in the Australian portfolio take-up at 94.4%.

Its Singapore portfolio was 91.2% leased, dragged by renovation works at ATP and CSC. During the quarter about 51,000 sqft of space in the Singapore portfolio was leased/renewed at 2.5% lower over preceding levels.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
