Sasseur REIT demonstrates robust operational performance across its key properties. The Chongqing outlets maintained steady sales momentum, with Liangjiang achieving 3.7% year-on-year growth and Bishan recording 3.5% year-on-year growth in 2Q26. This contributed to the portfolio achieving record 1H26 sales, representing a 7.4% year-on-year increase and marking the highest first-half performance since the REIT’s listing.

The portfolio features a well-balanced mix spanning domestic fashion brands including Bosideng, PoloWalk, and Biemlofen.
