Syfe S-REITs Tracker: Q3 2025 - Singapore REITs’ Superior Returns Continue the Great REIT Rebound

<ul>
<li>Singapore’s retail REITs have proven to be among the more resilient segments within the broader S-REIT universe.</li>
<li>By early 2025, high shopper footfall, recovering tenant sales, and positive rental reversions are now the norm across well-managed portfolios. Suburban malls, anchored in necessity trades like groceries, healthcare, and Food and Beverage (F&amp;B), led the recovery, with some even exceeding pre-Covid revenue metrics.</li>
<li>Prime malls have also regained momentum, buoyed by international tourism and luxury brand expansion. Occupancy rates are now typically north of 96%, and mall operators are again achieving mid- to high-single-digit rent uplifts on lease renewals, clear signs of restored landlord pricing power.</li>
