AIMS APAC REIT

From all of us at AA REIT, we wish our colleagues, tenants, Unitholders and partners a very bright and peaceful Deepavali. We hope this Deepavali offers prosperity and joy for you and your loved ones. #Deepavali #FestivalOfLights #AAREIT

Our CEO Russell Ng recently sat down with Tessa Oh at the The Business Times, where he discussed how AA REIT’s active portfolio rejuvenation strategy has enhanced long-term unitholder value. During the conversation, Russell explained AA REIT’s focus on rejuvenating and enhancing assets within its portfolio can help to attract and retain higher quality tenants, which in turn “underpins the duration” and “quality of the cashflow." Russell shared further detail around our wider growth strategy: “If you look at our acquisition track record, we’ve been very selective. We’re not a serial acquirer. We’re very careful about selecting the right assets because every asset acts as a foundational asset within the broader portfolio, and that gives it that resilience and growth stability."

AIMS APAC REIT reported continued strong operating performance and resilient results at its 1Q FY2025 business update. This quarter, we saw a 7.3% YoY rise in distributions to Unitholders which was supported by a YoY growth of Net Property Income by 6.6%. This was driven by higher rental growth, sustained strong rental reversions and high occupancy & tenant retention rates. AA REIT continues to be well positioned to execute on its identified AEIs and capitalise on future growth opportunities. CEO, Mr Russell Ng commented, “We are pleased to report continued strong operating performance, underpinned by our active asset management and portfolio rejuvenation strategy. The securing of a 15-year master lease and 10-year anchor lease ahead of the commencement of the two identified projects reinforces our AEI strategy and demand for such space by leading global companies. Once completed, these two assets will generate higher NPI yields of over 7% and deliver long-term sustainable income and capital growth for our Unitholders.” As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have successfully commenced major sustainability projects outlined in our ESG roadmap. We continue to proactively explore new sustainability initiatives to future-proof our portfolio and create sustainable long-term value for Unitholders.   Read more about our 1Q FY2025 Business Update here: https://lnkd.in/grU65iJb #aimsapacreit #reits #realestate #singapore #australia #industrials #logistics #businessparks

It was a great pleasure to have participated in this year's REITs Symposium, Singapore's largest annual REIT event, where we had the opportunity to interact with investors, peers and partners from across the sector.
