Keppel DC REIT snaps up Sydney data centre for $45.3m

This is its maiden acquisition.

Keppel DC REIT today revealed that it will acquire a data centre in Sydney for a total consideration of $45.3m (AUD 43.3m). This is its first acquisition since its IPO in December.

Keppel DC REIT will acquire the shell and core building of Intellicentre 2 (IC2) from ASX-listed Macquarie Telecom (MT).

Completed in 2012, this data centre has a total lettable area of 8,169 sm and sits on approximately 20,000 sm of freehold land.

MT will sign a 20-year triple-net lease agreement with Keppel DC REIT, which includes a mechanism for annual rental escalation and options to extend the lease. MT will also manage the facility and be responsible for all property-related outgoings.

IC2 is a Tier III carrier-neutral data centre located within the Macquarie Business Park, a research and business park in Sydney that specialises in the communications and information technology sectors.

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.
