Navigating the soft industrial property market
AA Reit strategy: lock in longer leases, enhance tenant mix, renovate facilities to capture flight to quality
Singapore
GOVERNMENT intervention measures and Singapore's ongoing economic restructuring are softening the industrial property market acutely, and AIMS AMP Capital Industrial Reit (AA Reit) is feeling that impact, CEO Koh Wee Lih told reporters after a short property tour on Tuesday.
Which is why the real estate investment trust has taken measures to safeguard its bottom line and distributions to unitholders - by trying to pre-commit and lock in leases for longer periods, adding more profitable ventures such as data centres to its tenant mix and proactively renovating facilities to utilise untapped gross floor areas.
