Keppel DC REIT net property income up 8.4% for 1H2021

The company said their income was driven by its latest acquisitions.

Data centre-focused Keppel DC REIT reported an 8.4% increase in their net property income, to $123.8m from $114.2m, for the first half of 2021.

In a bourse disclosure, Keppel DC REIT added that its distributable income was $84.3m, 12.4% higher than the same period last year.

“The growth in distributable income was due mainly to contributions from the accretive acquisitions of Amsterdam Data Centre and Kelsterbach Data Centre in Frankfurt, as well as the completion of the asset enhancement initiative works at Keppel DC Singapore 5 and Keppel DC Dublin 1 in the second half of 2020, and Keppel DC Dublin 2 and DC 1 in the first quarter of 2021,” it said in the report.

Portfolio occupancy is at 98.0% as of end-June, driven by new, renewed, and expanded leases with clients at Keppel DC REIT’s Singapore and Dublin data centres.

In April, it announced an investment mandate that will include real estate and assets that support the digital economy, whilst maintaining at least 90% of its assets in data centres.

It plans to continue pursuing third party acquisition opportunities moving forward.

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.
