What Is Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust?
Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT) was formed through the merger of Mapletree Commercial Trust (MCT) and Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (MNACT) in 2022, creating a pan-Asian commercial REIT listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) under the ticker N2IU. MPACT is managed by Mapletree Commercial Trust Management Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd — which is in turn backed by Temasek Holdings.
MPACT’s stated strategy is to be the proxy to key gateway markets of Asia — combining Singapore’s retail and office sector with commercial assets across Hong Kong, China, Japan, and South Korea. As at 31 March 2026, MPACT’s portfolio comprises 17 properties with an aggregate lettable area of approximately 10.9 million square feet across five markets.
The REIT’s flagship asset is VivoCity, Singapore’s largest mall by net lettable area, located at HarbourFront. VivoCity consistently ranks among the top-performing malls in Singapore by shopper traffic and tenant sales, providing MPACT with a strong, resilient income anchor that differentiates it from peers.
FY2025/26 Full-Year Results Highlights
MPACT announced its FY2025/26 (financial year ended 31 March 2026) full-year results on 28 April 2026. Here are the headline numbers:
| Metric | FY25/26 | FY24/25 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Year DPU (cents) | 7.97¢ | 8.02¢ | -0.6% |
| Gross Revenue | S$867.3M | S$909.1M | -4.6% |
| Net Property Income (NPI) | S$654.4M | S$683.7M | -4.3% |
| VivoCity Full-Year NPI Growth | +7.6% | — | Strong |
| VivoCity Rental Uplift | +14.1% | — | Positive reversion |
| Aggregate Leverage (Gearing) | 36.5% | ~38% | Improved |
| 4Q FY25/26 DPU | 1.90¢ | — | In line |
Source: MPACT FY2025/26 Results Announcement, 28 April 2026 | Data as at 31 March 2026
The marginal DPU decline of 0.6% masked an important detail: excluding a one-off tax charge of S$8.3 million related to the divestment of Festival Walk Tower, the underlying FY25/26 DPU would have risen approximately 1.1% year-on-year. This one-off distortion, combined with VivoCity’s strong performance, suggests MPACT’s Singapore operational momentum is intact. The headline NPI decline of 4.3% reflects the ongoing headwinds from MPACT’s overseas properties — particularly negative rental reversions in Hong Kong, China, and Japan — rather than core Singapore deterioration.
DPU History: FY2021/22 – FY2025/26
MPACT distributes income quarterly. The table below shows the full-year DPU for the past five financial years (each year runs April–March):
| Financial Year | Full-Year DPU (¢) | YoY Change | Approx. Yield (at S$1.34) |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2021/22 | 9.20¢ | — | 6.9% |
| FY2022/23 | 9.61¢ | +4.5% | 7.2% |
| FY2023/24 | 8.91¢ | -7.3% | 6.6% |
| FY2024/25 | 8.02¢ | -10.0% | 6.0% |
| FY2025/26 | 7.97¢ | -0.6% | ~5.9% |
Source: MPACT Investor Relations, SGX filings | Yield calculated at share price S$1.34 (approximate, as at May 2026)
MPACT’s DPU has declined from its FY22/23 peak of 9.61¢ to 7.97¢ in FY25/26 — a cumulative decline of approximately 17% over three years. The primary drivers have been: rising finance costs in a higher-for-longer interest rate environment (particularly affecting USD and JPY-denominated debt), foreign currency headwinds (HKD, CNY, JPY depreciation vs SGD), and sluggish recovery of the Hong Kong and China retail markets post-COVID. The FY25/26 DPU stabilisation — down only 0.6%, and actually up 1.1% ex-one-off — may signal that the worst of the DPU compression cycle is behind MPACT, especially if global interest rates continue to ease.
Portfolio Overview: VivoCity, Hong Kong & Asia
MPACT’s 17-property portfolio spans five Asian markets. Here is a breakdown of the key assets and geographies:
Singapore (Anchor Portfolio)
MPACT’s Singapore assets form the cornerstone of the portfolio, contributing the most stable and growing income stream. The flagship properties are:
- VivoCity — Singapore’s largest mall (NLA: ~1.1 million sq ft) at HarbourFront. In FY25/26, VivoCity delivered 7.6% NPI growth and 14.1% rental uplift on renewed leases, reflecting its unmatched position as a destination mall. Occupancy remains above 99%.
- Mapletree Business City (MBC) — A premier business park complex in Alexandra, housing major tenants from the tech and financial services sectors. MBC’s integrated work-live-play concept supports strong tenant retention.
- mTower — An office asset in the Alexandra precinct. MPACT completed the divestment of the Festival Walk Tower component, recycling capital to reduce leverage.
Hong Kong
Festival Walk in Hong Kong — a major retail and office complex in Kowloon Tong — remains MPACT’s largest overseas asset. Hong Kong’s retail recovery has been more muted than Singapore’s, with tourist spending patterns shifting and consumer sentiment impacted by broader regional dynamics. Festival Walk continues to record some negative rental reversions, though management is actively managing tenant mix to stabilise performance.
China, Japan & South Korea
MPACT holds business park and office assets in China (The Sandcroft @Mapletree in Shanghai), Japan (IXINAL Monzen-nakacho Building and other assets in Tokyo), and South Korea (The Pinnacle Gangnam in Seoul). These markets have faced headwinds from currency depreciation versus the SGD and slower-than-expected post-COVID commercial real estate recovery. However, they contribute geographic diversification and exposure to long-term Asian economic growth themes.
| Geography | Key Assets | AUM Weight | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | VivoCity, MBC, mTower | ~60% | Growing ↑ |
| Hong Kong | Festival Walk | ~24% | Recovering ↔ |
| Japan | Tokyo office assets | ~8% | Stable ↔ |
| China & South Korea | Shanghai, Seoul assets | ~8% | Headwinds ↓ |

Key Financial Metrics: Gearing, ICR & NAV
MPACT’s balance sheet has improved over the past year as management executed strategic divestments and deployed proceeds towards debt reduction. Aggregate leverage (gearing) declined to 36.5% as at 31 March 2026, down from approximately 38% in the prior year — providing more headroom under MAS’s 50% regulatory cap.
The improvement in gearing is directly attributable to the divestment of Festival Walk Tower and other capital recycling initiatives, which have progressively increased Singapore’s weighting in the portfolio while strengthening the balance sheet. With a healthy interest coverage ratio comfortably above MAS’s 2.5x minimum requirement, MPACT retains the financial flexibility to pursue accretive acquisitions or asset enhancement initiatives (AEIs) when opportunities arise.
At a unit price of approximately S$1.34, MPACT trades at a meaningful discount to its net asset value (NAV) per unit — a pattern that reflects the market pricing in overseas portfolio risks and the longer-than-expected DPU recovery trajectory. Analysts have set consensus target prices in the S$1.50–1.60 range, implying potential capital upside of 12–19% from current levels in addition to the ~5.9% distribution yield. The combination of income yield and potential price reversion gives MPACT a total return profile that some analysts find attractive.
Peer Yield Comparison: MPACT vs Diversified S-REITs
How does MPACT’s distribution yield compare to similar Singapore-listed commercial and diversified REITs? The chart above shows trailing yields as at May 2026:
| REIT | SGX Ticker | Trailing Yield | Gearing | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust | N2IU | ~5.9% | 36.5% | Retail + Office (SG, HK, Asia) |
| Starhill Global REIT | P40U | ~6.4% | ~35% | Retail + Office (SG, AU, MY) |
| CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust | C38U | ~5.3% | ~40% | Retail + Office (SG, Germany) |
| Keppel REIT | K71U | ~5.4% | ~38% | Grade-A Office (SG, AU) |
| Suntec REIT | T82U | ~5.2% | ~42% | Retail + Office (SG, AU, UK) |

MPACT’s ~5.9% yield sits in the middle of the diversified commercial REIT peer group. The yield premium over CICT (~5.3%) reflects the overseas portfolio risk premium investors demand. Conversely, MPACT’s lower gearing (36.5%) versus Suntec (42%) and CICT (~40%) means it carries less refinancing risk — an important consideration in a still-elevated interest rate environment.

2026 Outlook: Singapore Strength & Overseas Stabilisation
MPACT’s investment thesis for 2026 rests on two pillars: sustained growth from its Singapore assets, and gradual stabilisation (and eventual recovery) of its overseas portfolio.
VivoCity: Singapore’s Resilient Income Engine
VivoCity is MPACT’s single most important asset and continues to outperform. The mall’s 14.1% rental uplift in FY25/26 — achieved despite a broader retail environment that remains selective — reflects the enduring demand for large-format, experiential retail anchors in Singapore. The HarbourFront location benefits from MRT connectivity, tourist traffic from the RWS/Sentosa precinct, and a densely populated residential catchment area. Management expects VivoCity to maintain high single-digit NPI growth into FY26/27 as the remaining expiring leases renew at current market rates.
Festival Walk (Hong Kong): Cautious Recovery
Festival Walk remains an asset of scale and quality — Kowloon Tong’s integrated retail and office complex with direct MTR access. The headwind has been Hong Kong’s sluggish retail recovery post-COVID and the structural shift in cross-border shopping patterns (with more HK consumers visiting mainland China for premium goods). Management is actively repositioning the tenant mix towards food & beverage, experiential retail, and education/healthcare services that are less substitutable by cross-border spending. A stabilisation of negative rental reversions in Hong Kong would be a key positive catalyst for MPACT’s DPU recovery.
Interest Rate Tailwinds
MPACT carries both SGD and multi-currency debt (HKD, JPY, USD). As global interest rates gradually ease from their 2023–2024 peaks, MPACT stands to benefit disproportionately given its multi-currency debt profile. Lower refinancing costs would directly support DPU recovery, especially for tranches of fixed-rate debt rolling over in FY26/27 at potentially lower rates than the original fixed terms. DBS analysts have highlighted MPACT as a beneficiary of interest rate tailwinds into 2026.
How to Invest in MPACT via CPF/SRS
MPACT (SGX: N2IU) is approved for both the CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS) and Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS). Singapore investors can use their CPF Ordinary Account (OA) savings or SRS funds to purchase N2IU units through any SGX-registered broker.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MPACT's current distribution yield?
Based on MPACT’s FY2025/26 full-year DPU of 7.97 cents and a unit price of approximately S$1.34 (as at May 2026), the trailing distribution yield is approximately 5.9%. Analysts’ forward yield estimates for FY2026/27 are around 5.7–6.2%, depending on assumptions about overseas portfolio recovery and interest rate movements. Yields fluctuate with changes in both DPU and unit price — use our REITs Dividend Yield Calculator to model different scenarios.
Why has MPACT's DPU been declining?
MPACT’s DPU declined from a peak of 9.61¢ in FY22/23 to 7.97¢ in FY25/26 — a cumulative drop of about 17%. The main drivers have been: (1) rising finance costs as interest rates climbed sharply from 2022 to 2024; (2) foreign exchange headwinds — HKD, CNY, and JPY all depreciated versus SGD; (3) negative rental reversions in Hong Kong, China, and Japan due to slower post-COVID commercial recovery; and (4) one-off charges including the FY25/26 tax charge from the Festival Walk Tower divestment. The FY25/26 DPU was almost flat (-0.6%) and up 1.1% ex-one-off, which may indicate the DPU compression phase is stabilising.
What is MPACT's biggest asset?
VivoCity, Singapore’s largest shopping mall by net lettable area (~1.1 million sq ft), is MPACT’s flagship and most valuable asset. Located at HarbourFront with direct Harbourfront MRT connectivity, VivoCity is a destination mall anchored by Haidilao, Golden Village, IKEA, and a broad range of F&B and lifestyle tenants. In FY25/26, VivoCity posted 7.6% NPI growth and 14.1% rental uplift — outperforming the broader Singapore retail market and delivering the trust’s most reliable income growth.
Is MPACT's gearing a concern?
MPACT’s gearing of 36.5% (as at 31 March 2026) is below the sector average for diversified S-REITs and well under MAS’s 50% regulatory cap. The improvement from ~38% in the prior year reflects management’s active capital recycling — divestments have been used to pay down debt. MPACT’s interest coverage ratio is also comfortably above MAS’s 2.5x minimum. Overall, MPACT’s balance sheet is considered healthy and provides headroom for opportunistic acquisitions or AEIs without breaching regulatory limits.
Can I buy MPACT using my CPF or SRS funds?
Yes. MPACT (SGX: N2IU) is approved for investment under the CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS-OA) and can also be purchased with SRS funds. You can transact through any SGX-licensed broker. Platforms like Endowus and FSMOne support CPF and SRS-linked brokerage accounts. Our CPF Investment Strategy Guide walks through the process in detail.
How does MPACT compare to CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT)?
Both are large Singapore-headquartered commercial REITs with retail and office exposure. Key differences: CICT is larger (AUM ~S$24B vs MPACT’s ~S$14B), more Singapore-concentrated, and has lower overseas risk — but trades at a lower yield (~5.3% vs MPACT’s ~5.9%). MPACT’s pan-Asian diversification adds both upside (potential Asia recovery play) and risk (currency and overseas market headwinds). MPACT’s lower gearing (36.5% vs CICT’s ~40%) provides a balance sheet advantage. Income investors who prioritise yield may prefer MPACT; those who prefer stability and size may prefer CICT.
What is MPACT's outlook for FY2026/27?
The FY26/27 outlook for MPACT is cautiously optimistic. VivoCity is expected to continue delivering NPI growth as further leases reset to higher market rents. Interest rate easing tailwinds should reduce refinancing costs as near-term debt tranches mature. The key uncertainties are Hong Kong’s retail trajectory and the pace of currency recovery for HKD/JPY. Analyst consensus targets are in the S$1.50–1.60 range, implying 12–19% price upside from current levels, plus the ~5.9% distribution yield — giving a potential 18–25% total return.
