Mapletree Commercial Trust’s net property income up 3.5% to $56.6m

Thanks to active asset, cost management.

Mapletree Industrial Trust (MCT) enjoyed a resilient third quarter to FY16 as it posted a net property income increase of 3.5% to $56.6m compared to 3QFY15’s $54.7m, which MIT attributes to active asset management and cost management.

The company further noted in a media release that VivoCity’s robust performance is particularly noteworthy as its YTD tenant sales and NPI climbed 2.5% and 8.1% respectively against the same period in FY15.

The company’s DPU stood at 2.08 S cents during the quarter, while gross revenue inched up 1.2% YoY to $73.8m 3QFY15’s $72.9m.

Occupancy rates at MCT’s office assets Mapletree Anson and PSA Building improved to 99.3% and 94.3% respectively. The company saw traditional vacancy from earlier expiring leases remain, though, leading to a 1.9% YoY slip in the YTD FY16 office portfolio NPI.

Meanwhile, MCT will suspend its distribution reinvestment plan after its distribution in 3QFY16.

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.
