MPACT's Singapore assets remained its anchor, with gross revenue and NPI up by 3.5% and 5.3% respectively, led by VivoCity following the completion of its Basement 2 asset enhancements.
In addition, MPACT enjoyed higher contributions from Mapletree Business City and at its other Singapore properties too.
Over at Festival Walk, MPACT's mall in Hong Kong, it was able to achieve full committed occupancy amid broader challenges of the Hong Kong retail market. However, tenant sales dropped 2.9% y-o-y even with shopper traffic up 4.5%. Rental reversion was down 10.5%. In contrast, VivoCity was up 14.7%.
On Dec 10, MPACT announced the divestment of the office component of Festival Walk for HK$1.96 billion, or $328.1 million, a level in line with its independent valuation.

With this divestment, MPACT’s portfolio will comprise 15 commercial properties across five key gateway markets of Asia, with a total lettable area of 10.2 million square feet independently valued at $15.5 billion.
“This quarter’s results demonstrate the strength of our Singapore portfolio and the benefits of disciplined capital allocation," says Sharon Lim, CEO of the manager.

"VivoCity’s performance anchors our operations, while lower finance expenses shows the value created from strategic divestments and debt reduction," she says.
Lim maintains that the proposed divestment of the office component of Festival Walk reflects MPACT's active portfolio repositioning to strengthen financial flexibility and long-term resilience.
"Beyond portfolio optimisation, we remain focused on operational fundamentals and tenant retention. The successful renewals of two top 10 tenants underscore our commitment to cashflow stability as we navigate overseas headwinds,” she adds.
MPACT units closed at $1.47 on Jan 29. It is up 21.49% in the past year.
