This week brings a mix of portfolio reshuffling, long-term infrastructure ambition and fresh capital markets activity.
A retail REIT is trimming its smallest asset to strengthen its balance sheet, Sentosa is charting a two-decade transformation, a private healthcare group has made its trading debut after a well-supported offering, and Temasek Holdings has posted a record net portfolio value on the back of strong local blue-chip performance.
FCT sheds its smallest mall to cut leverage
Frasers Centrepoint Trust (SGX: J69U), or FCT, announced on 1 July 2026 that it will divest White Sands mall for S$467 million (US$360 million), with the sale to an unrelated third party expected to complete around 30 September.
White Sands, located in Pasir Ris, is the smallest mall in FCT’s portfolio and has performed well since it was acquired in 2020, according to Richard Ng, chief executive officer of Frasers Centrepoint Asset Management, the REIT’s manager.
The property has a gross floor area of 240,371 sq ft and net lettable area of 150,352 sq ft.
The sale was struck on a willing-buyer-willing-seller basis and represents an 8.4% premium to the mall’s independent valuation of S$431 million as at 31 May, with an estimated net gain of about S$32.4 million.
FCT expects net proceeds of roughly S$454.1 million, which will go towards repaying debt and lowering pro forma aggregate leverage from 40% to 36.5%.
Post-divestment, the retail portfolio will comprise eight properties spanning approximately 2.84 million sq ft of net lettable area.
Sentosa unveils a two-decade transformation of Singapore’s island playground
Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) unveiled the next chapter of the Greater Sentosa Master Plan (GSMP) on 3 July 2026, a long-term transformation that will integrate Sentosa with the 120-hectare Brani island and progressively expand the leisure destination over the next two decades.
When completed, Greater Sentosa is projected to attract twice as many visitors as it does today.
Developments are expected to come on board from the early 2030s under a phased approach.
Brani West is intended to be one of the largest sites for attractions development under the plan, with partner engagements already underway.
New landmarks include the Imbiah Canopy atop Mount Imbiah, the Imbiah Lookout Walk elevated forest canopy walk, and the Sensorium, envisioned as a beachfront icon hosting lifestyle and indoor attractions.
Investors may note that Resorts World Sentosa‘s landmark Waterfront Lifestyle Development is scheduled for completion in 2030, alongside SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Universal Studios Singapore.
Foundation Healthcare draws robust demand for its mainboard listing
Foundation Healthcare Holdings Limited (SGX: FHH), an integrated private healthcare platform in Singapore, announced on 7 July 2026 the balloting results of its initial public offering (IPO) following the close of its Singapore Public Offer.
The offering comprised 162,566,600 shares at S$0.76 apiece.
The Singapore Public Offer drew 3,805 valid applications for 86,982,100 shares, a subscription rate of about 9.4 times, while the overall offering was around 3.8 times subscribed.

For FY2025, the group posted pro forma revenue of S$265.9 million, pro forma adjusted EBITDA of S$99.1 million and pro forma adjusted profit after tax of S$51.4 million.

Temasek’s net portfolio value hits a record on local blue-chip strength
Temasek Holdings reported a record net portfolio value (NPV) of S$518 billion for the financial year ended 31 March 2026, released on 8 July 2026 at the launch of its annual Temasek Review.
Its one-year total shareholder return (TSR) came in at 10.5%, with NPV rising S$49 billion year on year.
The gain was driven largely by strong performances from listed Singapore-based Temasek Portfolio Companies and realised divestment gains, including ST Telemedia’s sale of its remaining 82% stake in ST Telemedia Global Data Centres to KKR and Singtel (SGX: Z74) for S$6.6 billion in February 2026.
Returns were tempered by Middle East events, which triggered a 2% NPV drawdown in the final month of the year.
A stronger Singapore dollar also cut one-year TSR by roughly two percentage points; on a constant currency basis it would have been 12.9%.
Longer-term, Temasek’s 20-year TSR stood at 6.8% and its 10-year TSR at 7.1%.
