It recorded higher income from Ocean Financial Tower and 275 George Street.

Keppel REIT's net property income (NPI) rose 17.6% to $33.17m YoY in Q3, the company announced. Its distribution to unitholders likewise climbed 2.5% to $47.51m, translating to a 2.9% growth in distribution per unit (DPU) to 1.40 cents.

The growth was attributed mainly to higher property income and NPI from Ocean Financial Centre and 275 George Street, as well as income contribution from T Tower.

For 9M 2019, NPI fell 4.5% to $122.31m, whilst distribution to unitholders dipped 0.5% to $142.13m. This was mainly attributed to lower one-off income, and lower property income and NPI from Bugis Junction Towers.

The REIT's portfolio committed occupancy stood at 98.8% on 30 September, and its weighted average lease expiry (WALE) remained at 5.1 years.

“The Manager will continue its ongoing portfolio optimisation strategy, while driving operational excellence in its asset and capital management efforts,” the REIT’s manager wrote.

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.
