Frasers Centrepoint Trust portfolio occupancy at 96.4% in Q3

The Singapore-focused mall operator sees its suburban properties recovering faster than its counterparts.

Occupancy at Frasers Centrepoint Trust properties was at 96.4% in the third quarter of the financial year ending September 2021.

In a bourse disclosure, the Singapore mall operator said its portfolio tenants’ sales started recovering back to pre-COVID levels despite the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period implemented from April to June.

This is despite shopper traffic falling to around 60% of pre-COVID levels during that period.

Amongst its properties, it saw its 9 suburban retail malls as the first to recover in tenant’s sales due to their focus on providing essential services.

Amongst its tenants’ expiring leases due within the year, only 8% have yet to renew in the fourth quarter.

Its top 10 tenants based on gross rental are NTUC Fairprice, Dairy Farm, Kopitiam, Breadtalk, Metro, Mcdonalds, Courts, OCBC, Yum!, and UOB.

According to the firm, its gearing level is at 33.9%, which along with its staggering debt maturity, gives it ample debt headroom.

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.
