CICT net property income up 66.6% to $247m

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust is optimistic about the gradual easing of safe management measures.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) has posted a net property income of $247.1m for the first quarter of 2021.

In a bourse disclosure, CICT said this is a 66.6% increase from last year's figures.

Retail spaces of CICT have been 97.1% occupied as of March 31, with a 75.3% recovery in shopper traffic compared to last year's levels.

CICT has office assets in both Singapore and Germany, which was 94.9% occupied as of end-March. For Singapore office spaces alone, office occupancy was at 94.8% with an average rate of $10.28 per square foot.

It plans to complete its CapitaSpring redevelopment project by the second half of the year.

It expects the limited new supply in the retail and office markets to mitigate any softening demand as the pandemic continues. CICT is likewise optimistic that the vaccination rollout would improve economic activity and consumer/business sentiment.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
