It’s all about S-Reits today as we continue our conversation with a company that is also the first ever guest we had on board on Under the Radar back in February last year.

Make a guess! The company is behind some of the most prominent skyscrapers we see at the Central Business District, and is said to be one of the largest diversified S-Reits with total assets under management of S$6.3 billion as at the end of 2023.

Well, listed on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange back in January 2014, OUE REIT is a wholly owned subsidiary of OUE Limited, a leading real estate and healthcare group that looks to tap growth trends across Asia. 

On its own, OUE REIT owns two hotels, namely Hilton Singapore and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport. It also counts the Mandarin Gallery, as well as commercial properties OUE Bayfront, One Raffles Place and OUE Downtown Office as its assets. Out of Singapore, the Reit also owns a Grade A commercial asset called Lippo Plaza in Shanghai’s business district of Puxi. 

But why are we talking to OUE REIT you might ask? Well, OUE REIT was recently rebranded from OUE Commercial REIT in January 2024 to reflect its focus on growth opportunities in the hospitality, office and retail sectors, but what can we look forward to on this front? 

Meanwhile, OUE REIT had also in April reported higher revenue and net property income in the first quarter of 2024, where net property income rose 6.9 per cent on the year to S$60.5 million. But how far is this driven by commercial properties and increased tourist spending at its hotels and how far can this continue? 

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Han Khim Siew, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of OUE REIT.
