Keppel DC REIT divests interest in German data centre

The transaction is based on an all-cash offer of $70.6m (EUR50m).

Keppel DC REIT Management has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to divest 100% of its freehold interest in Kelsterbach Data Centre in Frankfurt, Germany.

The transaction is based on an all-cash offer of $70.6m (EUR50m) from an unrelated third party to be completed in H1 2025.

“The divestment of Kelsterbach Data Centre aligns with our strategy to concentrate on the hyperscale data centre market,” Loh Hwee Long, CEO of Keppel DC REIT Management, said.

Constructed in 1989, the property comprises a five-storey shell and core data centre, and a six-storey office block.

Following the divestment, the company’s portfolio occupancy will remain high at 96.6%, whilst the weighted average lease expiry by lettable area will improve from 6.3 years to 7.4 years.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
