FCT maintains occupancy rate of 97.2% for Q1

Thanks to the healthy demand in retail spaces with the malls. 

Frasers Centerpoint Trust (FCT) saw a stable occupancy rate at 97.2% for the first quarter of 2022.

The group attributed this performance to a healthy demand for retail spaces within the malls owned by FCT.

Other figures reported include good leasing traction over the same period with 22.8% gross rental income to be renewed over the financial year 2022 and the recovery of shopper traffic due to an easing of restrictions. 

Tenant sales were close to the pre-COVID levels in October and November 2021. It finally exceeded said levels in December 2021.

The gearing level was at 34.5%, signifying a strong financial position with debt headroom. 

38% of expiring leases were also committed by the end of first quarter, resulting in an improvement to weighted average lease expiry.

Aside from figures reported in their highlights, a five-star rating was also awarded to FCT for its GRESB 2021 assessment, whilst the group also established its Sustainable Finance Framework on 17 December 2021.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
