As the name suggests, Capitaland would be the main sponsor towards the 2 REITs - Capitaland Commercial Trust - CCT (which specialises in Commerical offices) and Capitaland Mall Trust - CMT (which specialises in Retail Malls)
Capitaland Mall Trust
As opposed to what DC mentioned, although it is true that there is going to be an increased foot-fall in malls, it does not equate to increased performance of CMT. One must understand what is the main revenue driver of these stocks. If these 3 stocks earn directly from the number of traffic to the mall, then yes, absolutely. However, Capitaland Mall Trust earns from RENTAL income and with rental waivers until the end of this month and an increasing number of stalls having permanently shut, it remains to be seen how much these stalls contribute to CMT's rental revenue.
Capitaland Commercial Trust
Similarly for CCT, should tenants of Commerical Offices have issues paying rent, they are able to seek for rental suspension / relief through the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act which is in place for a period of 6 months (starting April) . And with government prioritising WFH, it may take a while for rental income to be reverted to the norm for CCT.
Capitaland Limited
Capitaland is more diversed geographically and sector-wise due to it's portfolio. One must assess the impact of each market + industry that Capitaland is in and how long it'll take to recover i.e. Property Sales / China reopening. There are many factors involved.
Nonetheless, all 3 stocks are trading close to 20% below pre-COVID-19 prices. Time will tell how and if we ever reach back those prices

In my opinion, the future of the above stocks are positive. Even though many people are staying home now due to covid, there are still people frequenting malls.
Afterall, malls provide a common space for friends and family to meet and dine together, which is something that cannot be replaced by technology. There are also people who would rather buy products in-store, as opposed to ordering them online (think about spectacle shops, clothing shops, daiso etc...)
TLDR; I have faith in Capitaland!
