OUE C-REIT's NPI leapt 48.3% to $204.95m in 2019

The merger with OUE Hospitality trust (OUE H-trust) in September contributed to the NPI expansion in for the quarter. This was further augmented by the contribution from OUE Downtown Office which was acquired in November 2018.

RevPAR increased by 1.9% YoY to $216 on the back of higher demand, as the segment was supported by increased tourist arrivals and strong line-up of major events during the quarter. The increase was largely driven by higher room rates and increased demand at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport which registered a 9.9% YoY increase in RevPAR to $198 for the quarter.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
