Singapore is more sophisticated financially than NZ but the latter is much more beautiful and has better climate if you prefer cooler places.

The only cooling then is the fan blowing air over the ice, which can actually keep a unit a bit cooler than outside.If it just needs a charge, it usually $25-$40/lb depending on what you can negotiate.

Just remember the tenant upon an option renewal will not want to pay above market rent if the market has softened.They will "leapfrog" onto another property or renegotiate the lease rather than renew the extension.The good thing about a pizza tenant ( I have decades experience in the restaurant industry ) is that installing the ceiling oven hood, walk in cooler, and other equipment is expensive and harder to move than other retail tenants.
