Mapletree Industrial Trust occupancy surged 93.2% in 4Q 2011

This is on the back of high retention rate of 86%, indicating a strong underlying demand for industrial space.

According to DBS Vickers, MINT continues to renew c99.1% of leases at the maximum cap while new leases secured at market rates are in excess of 20% above expiring rents.

These highlight that the average portfolio rental rate of S$1.49 psf/pm is not excessive and there is room for further upside once the rental caps affecting c84% of its NLA fall off in June 2011.

DBS Vickers expects MINT to deliver strong organically-driven DPU CAGR of 9% over FY12-13F. As rental caps expire, the manager will re-price rents nearer to market when leases, amounting to c23%/c26% of revenues are renewed over FY12/13.

Earnings growth is also expected due to strong take-up for its first initiative at property development in Redhill and 3rd party acquisitions including JTC’s trade sale of a portfolio of assets.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
