Sentiment in Hong Kong’s commercial real estate market showed signs of stabilisation and a selective recovery. Central office leasing sentiment improved notably, while the Hong Kong retail sales recorded solid growth, supported by sustained inbound tourism and a steady pipeline of mega events. Occupancy across the Trust’s property portfolio demonstrated resilience, reflecting proactive leasing efforts. However, negative rental reversion continued to impact the Trust. Distributable income of the Trust decreased by 9.1% to HK$432 million and distribution per unit decreased by 9.7% to HK$0.0633. On financial management, we successfully secured credit facilities for the refinancing of all debt due in 2026 and also expanded our lender pool. Three Garden Road Proactive leasing efforts resulted in high retention rate with over 90% of leases expiring in 2026 confirmed to renew, among them were the major tenants. Occupancy of the property maintained at a stable level of 82.2% as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 81.6%). Site inspections momentum remained solid in the first half with double digit year-on-year growth. We observed stabilisation of market rents for the property as Central office leasing momentum improved. Positive rental reversions were achieved in some renewal cases. Langham Place Office Tower Rental income of the property showed signs of stabilisation. Occupancy remained resilient at 86.2% as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 86.9%) amid intense competition of the broader Kowloon office market. Wellness and lifestyle operators remained a key component of Langham Place Office Tower’s tenant profile, accounting for 67% of the tenant mix as at 30 June 2026. To enhance tenant diversification, we acquired an international direct sales company and distributors in its value-chain as new occupiers. Langham Place Mall Tenants’ sales at Langham Place Mall benefitted from the better retail market sentiment. The proactive tenant mix management continued to generate positive impact. The introduction of fashion labels tailored to the mall’s customer demographics resulted in double-digit sales growth in this segment, while lifestyle segment continued to outperform. The mall continued to launch creative campaigns to reinforce its retail trend-setting position. Occupancy maintained at high level of 99.5% as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: 99.3%). Distribution Distributable income of the Trust decreased by 9.1% to HK$432 million (2025: HK$476 million) and distribution per unit ("DPU") dropped by 9.7% to HK$0.0633 (2025: HK$0.0701). Asset Value The appraised value of the Trust's properties was HK$56.4 billion as at 30 June 2026, compared with HK$56.2 billion as at 31 December 2025, mainly reflecting mild increase in rental rate assumptions for Three Garden Road. Sustainability Sustainability remains integral to the Trust's long-term value creation strategy. In the first half of 2026, we made steady progress across strategic priorities. On sustainable finance, we secured a HK$3.0 billion sustainability-linked loan with the support of eight banks. Moreover, Three Garden Road achieved WiredScore Platinum recertification, reaffirming its best-in-class digital connectivity standards. Through our flagship EcoChampion Pledge tenant engagement programme, we organised capacity-building and knowledge-sharing workshops to promote more sustainable workplaces. Outlook The global macroeconomic outlook is expected to remain uncertain. Policy measures to fortify Hong Kong as an international financial centre should continue to drive demand for office in the Central business district, while the recovery in inbound tourists should benefit the retail sector. Three Garden Road remains well positioned to capture future leasing opportunities with its convenient access to both Central and Admiralty business districts. We are also advancing plans for a major asset enhancement initiative to further strengthen the property’s competitiveness. Looking ahead, we will continue to adopt a prudent capital management strategy while remaining agile in the uncertain macroeconomic environment.
