Digital Core REIT signs 10-year lease for US facility

The agreement is expected to raise annual income by 35%.

Digital Core REIT, a data centre-focused real estate investment trust, has signed a 10-year lease with a global cloud service provider for its facility at 8217 Linton Hall Road, Virginia, US.

The agreement, set to begin on 1 December 2026, is expected to generate around $19.07m (USD 14.8m) annually or $17.14m (USD 13.3m) for Digital Core REIT’s 90% stake, marking a 35% increase from previous rental income.

The lease will return the Linton Hall facility to full occupancy and lift the REIT’s overall portfolio occupancy from 81% to 98%.

Rent from financially strong, “investment-grade” tenants will also rise from 79% to 82%, whilst the average lease length across the portfolio extends from 4.7 to 5.7 years, improving revenue stability, according to a press statement from Digital Core REIT.

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.
