    PURE-PLAY US office real estate investment trusts (Reits) took a beating on Thursday (Feb 15) morning, after Keppel Pacific Oak US Reit (Kore) announced it was suspending distributions to unitholders for two years as its leverage rose to 43.2 per cent as at end-2023.

    Earlier, Kore’s manager also announced the Reit’s second-half distributable income fell 10.1 per cent year on year to US$26.1 million.

    All Singapore-listed US office Reits were on the downtrend in early trade.
