Top 10 Tenants (By Monthly Gross Revenue)
Low exposure to
conventional manufacturing (By net lettable area)
About 85% of A-REIT’s lettable area is leased to multi-national
or government-linked companies and agencies. The balance of
its lettable space is occupied by Small and Medium Enterprises
(“SME”) and other tenants who each take up less than 2,000
sqm of space. This group of customers represents less than
0.5% of the Singapore SME population. Only 20.3% of A-REIT’s
lettable area is used for conventional manufacturing.
The Manager regularly review the credit risk profle of A-REIT’s
customers to minimise bad debt. A weighted average of
6-month worth of rental income is collected as security
deposit to safeguard A-REIT against potential tenant default.
The standard industry practice is to hold one-month worth of
rental as security deposit for each year’s lease. However, for
single-tenanted buildings, resulting typically from a sale-and-
leaseback transaction or a built-to-suit arrangement, a larger
sum of security deposits may be obtained depending on the
credit-standing of the customer and commercial negotiation.
Non-manufacturing activities include R&D,
backroom offces, telecommunications &
data centre, software and media consultancy
services as well as transport & storage
* Excluding cases where rental is paid upfront
Manufacturing activities include food &
beverages, aeronautical auxiliary equipment,
precision engineering etc.
