    LIKE some of its real estate investment trust (Reit) peers listed in Singapore, the manager of Lendlease Global Commercial Reit (LReit) could be looking to pare down some debt amid the higher-for-longer interest rate environment.

    As at end-June 2023, LReit’s property portfolio was valued at S$3.65 billion, with 88 per cent of it in Singapore.
