Remote working trend a blip in office life, says Manulife US Reit

Singapore

WILL US office workers return to their cubicles? Manulife US Real Estate Investment Trust (Manulife US Reit) seems to think they will, citing a survey done during the Covid-19 pandemic that showed muted enthusiasm from American office workers about working from home.

The outlook comes even as the Reit's distribution per unit (DPU) rose by 0.3 per cent to 3.05 US cents for its first half of the year ended June 30, from 3.04 US cents a year ago, the manager announced on Monday.
