Suntec REIT’s income jumps by 5.1% to $54m

Reaping time has come for its new properties.

The completion of Suntec City Office and Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre proved to be the boost for Suntec REIT as its revenue jumped by 5.2% to $78.3m.

According to a press release by Suntec REIT, including a capital distribution of $4m from the sale proceeds of Park Mall, distributable income jumped by 7.2% to $60m.

“The committed occupancy for Suntec City mall improved to 98.7% whilst the committed occupancy for Suntec City Office Towers was 97.5% as at 31 March 2016,” the press release said.

“The committed occupancy for One Raffles Quay and MBFC Properties were 99.8% and 99.2% respectively as at 31 March 2016. Park Mall’s Retail and Office committed occupancy were 96.7% and 91.7% respectively as at 31 March 2016,” the press release added.

Meanwhile, according to a report by OCBC, growth was partially offset by the divestment of Park Mall in Dec 2015.

“Excluding this impact, Suntec REIT’s distribution from operations would have declined marginally by 0.8%. Managing its lease expiry profile, but risks remain,” OCBC said.

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.
