Elite Commercial REIT IPO - Stable portfolio but small and old assets

Elite Commercial REIT plans to raise up to US$170m in its Singapore listing.

The initial portfolio will comprise of 97 commercial buildings located across the UK with a total net internal area of approximately 2.6m sqft and total site area of approximately 47 hectares. ECR is sponsored by Elite Partners, Ho Lee Group and Sunway Berhad.

Most of the assets are leased to the UK government for a period of ten years which provides very high stability to the portfolio. However, the rental renewal is done only once every five years with the next one only due in 2023. Thus, the portfolio lacks consistent growth.

Moreover, the assets themselves are small and on average are more than two decades old. Furthermore, they aren’t exactly Grade A assets and might not even qualify for being Grade B office assets.

Given the small size of the REIT versus its Singapore listed peers, we would expect it to trade at a discount to its listed peers.
