    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.

    But with its portfolio mainly comprising just three properties, the Reit manager would have to carefully consider the merits of a divestment to raise cash against the pressure of losing one of its prized assets.

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