Keppel acquires S$130m data centre in Germany

A 11,780sqm, 4-storey building is in the works.

According to a report by OCBC, Keppel DC REIT (KDCREIT) announced that it has taken steps towards its maiden acquisition in Germany. KDCREIT has entered into a forward sale and purchase agreement (SPA) for mainCubes Data Centre, a 4-storey fully fitted data centre set to be completed in 2018. The data centre will be developed to Tier III classifications, and will have a total lettable area of about 11,780sqm. The purchase consideration of the asset was placed at approximately S$130m.

KDCREIT will have to make a deposit on execution of the SPA worth 10% of the purchase price, and the remainder will be due once the building is finished. It’s a worthy investment, as KDCREIT can look forward to an estimated DPU accretion of 2.7%.

“Other benefits of this acquisition include lengthening its WALE (weighted average lease expiry) from 8.9 years to 10 years and diversifying its income streams,” notes OCBC.

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.
