An update from UI Boustead REIT ( (SG:UIBU) ) is now available.

UI Boustead REIT has lifted its overall portfolio committed occupancy to 92.2% as at 30 April 2026, from 89.4%, after renewing and signing new leases for 305,292 square feet of space, representing 5.7% of portfolio NLA. Occupancy gains were broad-based, with the Singapore portfolio improving to 97.1%, driven by strong take-up at 26 Tai Seng Street and significant pre-commitment of around 40% of net lettable area at AUMOVIO Building Phase 3 ahead of asset enhancement works.

In Japan, committed occupancy rose to 83.2%, underpinned by full take-up at Toyo MK Fuso Building and higher occupancy at UIB Konan Phase 2, where a further 12.7% of space is in advanced leasing negotiations. The manager has also moved to contain operating risks by locking in electricity tariffs for Singapore assets for three years and maintaining a conservative capital structure, with 37% aggregate leverage, about half the debt on fixed rates, and no refinancing needs until FY 2029, supporting income visibility for unitholders amid energy and interest-rate volatility.
