Here's proof that SPH REIT is milking tons of benefits from Paragon

Thanks to tenant loyalty.

According to DBS, SPH REIT offers investors a unique exposure to the retail and healthcare services industry in Singapore, backed by a portfolio of landmark high quality commercial assets.

"We believe that the REIT will provide a stable yield platform with growth potential fromorganic and inorganic means," DBS said.

Here's more from DBS:

Paragon, which enjoys a high degree of tenant retention, provides a strong resilient cashflow stream while Clementi Mall provides room for organic growth as it moves into its first rental reversion cycle in FY14.

The latter, which enjoys very strong pedestrian footfalls and a lower-than-industry occupancy cost, is anticipated to renew its leases positively.

Backed by a reputable and strong Sponsor. The Sponsor of SPH REIT is Singapore Press Holdings, a leading media organisation. In addition, it has more than a decade-long track record in the property sector since acquiring Paragon in 1997.

It has also provided a ROFR that includes The Seletar Mall, currently under construction, to the REIT. This has provided SPH REIT with a visible inorganic growth driver.

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.
