BHG Retail REIT posts strong occupancy rate in Q3

It saw a 94.2% committed occupancy rate during the period.

BHG Retail REIT posted A 94.2% occupancy rate across six properties, valued at $860m (RM4.73b), in the third quarter.

Beijing Wanliu Mall, which has a net lettable area of 52,515 square metres, accounted for more than half of the total valuation. With 96.8% occupancy rate, it led among multi-tenanted properties, Chengdu Konggang (95%), Hefei Mengchenglu (90.7%),, Hefei Changjiangxilu (83%). 

Master-leased properties Xining Huayuan and Dalian Jinsanjiao are both fully occupied.

The weighted average lease expiry was 4.4 years, underpinning stable rental income and cash flow.

Food and beverage tenants contributed 30.8% of gross rental income, whilst education and leisure tenants accounted for 24.7%. 

The manager said this tenant diversification supports occupancy and recurring income, though associated capital expenditure may limit near-term profit growth.

China’s retail and income indicators point to a gradual recovery, though the manager cited ongoing headwinds and modest consumption growth. Profit attributable to unitholders is expected to remain stable, with focus on debt management and portfolio resilience.

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.
