Viva Industrial Trust
Viva Industrial Trust, a Singapore-focused business park and industrial property trust, said its third-quarter distribution per stapled security grew by 9.9 per cent to 1.81 cents.
Gross revenue for the three months to Sept 30 rose by 31.9 per cent to $24.3 million while net property income soared by 39.2 per cent to $17.4 million.
Distributable income climbed by 35.2 per cent to $15.7 million.
The trust's weighted-average portfolio occupancy continued to climb to 88.6 per cent in the third quarter from 87 per cent at end-December, and reflected a marked improvement from the 70.1 per cent occupancy at the time of its initial public offering.
The strong financial performance continued to be driven by the successful acquisition of three properties - Home-Fix Building, 11 Ubi Road 1 and 30 Pioneer Road - as well as the asset-enhancement initiative at Viva Business Park.
