The increase was driven by contributions from its newly acquired properties.

Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust’s (Ascendas REIT) net income rose 7% YoY to $476.9m in H1 22, its latest financial statement revealed.

According to the REIT’s manager, the income increase was on the back of Ascendas’ higher revenue of $666.5m (+13.7% YoY) driven by contributions from its newly acquired properties in Singapore, the UK, the US, and Australia.

In H1, the REIT completed $261.6m worth of acquisitions.

Ascendas’ built-to-suit development in Singapore also drove additional revenue in H1, according to the manager.

With increased income, the REIT’s total distribution to unitholders also rose 6.3% YoY to $330.7m, whilst its distribution per Unit (DPU) climbed 2.8% YoY to $0.07873.

Looking ahead, the manager believes that Ascendas REIT’s diversified portfolio in developed markets like Singapore will allow it to “stay ahead of the curve, weather the economic uncertainties and continue to grow in a healthy manner.”

as of 31 march 2022, Ascendas REIT has an overall occupancy rate of 94.0%. Its portfolio is worth n$16.6b with a total of 229 properties, and more than 1,600 tenants. Of its properties, 61% are in Singapore.

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.
