Manulife US REIT has outlined the various options it is considering to reduce debt in the near and medium term, amid its lofty gearing level.

Alongside the announcement, Manulife US REIT held a briefing with analysts to discuss the US office leasing business, which has been hit by a confluence of factors ranging from low space utilisation to high interest rates.
For its FY2022, the REIT’s net property income rose 3.3% year-on-year to USD113.2 million, while distributable income increased 2.7% over the same period to USD87.9 million.
