The average occupancy rates for Al Rajhi REIT Fund’s properties stabilized at their lowest levels of 90% in Q2 2023, but declined 2% year-on-year (YoY).

 

The decrease was attributed to lower occupancy levels seen in two properties in Riyadh.

 

Anwar Plaza, a commercial and administrative retail center in Riyadh, fell to 5.3% in the second quarter of the year, compared to 44% a year earlier.

 

Rama Plaza declined by 3.7% to 58.3% by the end of Q2 2023. The property, located in Riyadh, has 30 commercial units and 15 administrative offices.

 

On the other hand, the occupancy levels for the rest of the properties remained stable at the same levels YoY.
