  • CapitaLand Ascendas REIT implemented a sharing arrangement for car park facilities after acquiring 5 Science Park Drive, aiming for improved operational efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced tenant/visitor experience within the Geneo life sciences hub.
  • Infinity Development Holdings reported a 21.7% increase in profit for FY2025, supported by revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific footwear market, no bank borrowings, and an attractive dividend yield of 8.7%. The group is positioned for stable medium-long term growth despite industry uncertainties.
