Revenue model

1. Rental Income (Real Estate Leasing): JPR's primary revenue stream is rental income from its portfolio of office buildings and urban commercial facilities. Revenue is generated through tenant leases, with rent payments recognized on an accrual basis. The portfolio as of 2025 consists of 67 properties with 488,000 sqm of leasable area and 1,263 tenants, delivering a 99.2% occupancy rate.
2. Real Estate Disposition Gains: JPR generates gains from the sale of real estate properties (real estate or trust beneficial interests). These gains are secondary to recurring rental income and are recognized when properties are sold above book value. This supports internal growth and portfolio optimization.
