Keppel REIT NPI rises 13% YoY to $181.8m in 9M
Distributable income from operations also increased by 24.4%.
Keppel REIT’s net property income (NPI) rose 12.7% year on year (YoY) to $181.8m in the first nine months (9M) of 2026 from $161.3m.
Total property income also climbed 16.5% YoY to $238.2 from $204.5.
Keppel REIT said the gains were mainly driven by contributions from Top Ryde Shopping Centre.
Portfolio occupancy stood at 96%, whilst rental reversions were positive at 12%.
The share of results from joint ventures also increased by 33.3% to $124.2m, mainly due to the additional one-third interest in Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, as well as higher rentals and lower borrowing costs.
Meanwhile, distributable income from operations increased by 24.4% to $179.9m on stronger portfolio performance and contributions from acquisitions.
Keppel REIT recently proposed acquiring a 51% interest in Keppel South Central, a Grade A commercial tower in the central business district, at an agreed property value of $626.2m.
Following the divestments of KR Ginza II in Tokyo and T Tower in Seoul, the REIT will also return $15m of capital to unitholders in three semi-annual tranches from the second half of 2027, after its anniversary distribution ends.
