Currently, we are in active discussions with numerous potential tenants, and the outlook is quite promising. Being the largest asset within the portfolio, we anticipate that the occupancy rate for Vista Tower to reach 60% by July 2024, up from 35% at the end of FY2023, primarily due to the influx of new tenants.’

‘Looking ahead, we are confident that this positive trend will continue throughout FY2024, with the potential to reach at least 70% occupancy rates.
