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.

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.
