Firstly, to drive operating income from owned and operated assets, Centurion has been actively scaling its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and developments across its core PBWA and PBSA segments in both existing and new markets, as well as into new living-sector segments, strengthening its growth runway while enhancing long-term income visibility and earnings resilience.
In addition, as sponsor of Centurion Accommodation REIT, Centurion earns REIT management, property management, and project management fees, which are expected to grow in line with Centurion Accommodation REIT’s expanding portfolio.
In October 2025, the Group secured a Property Management Agreement to manage an existing 548-bed dormitory on Jurong Island. This was followed by a second Property Management Agreement in February 2026 to manage an ~1,500-bed dormitory in the Gul Drive vicinity, to commence upon the property’s receipt of FEDA license.
Lastly, Centurion holds ~38.1% of Centurion Accommodation REIT units, providing a steady stream of distributions supported by Centurion Accommodation REIT’s policy of distributing 100% of annual distributable income through 2027, thereby enhancing income visibility and yield stability.
