Reits: an attractive alternative form of property investment for Singaporeans
About 25% of local Reit shares are in the hands of retail investors.
IN JUST 14 years, the real estate investment trust (Reit) industry in Singapore has drastically transformed the country's investment property landscape, making it one of the most admired in the Asia Pacific.
The Singapore Reit industry now ranks third in size in the region, behind Japan and Australia. S-Reits have been actively contributing to the improvement of properties in Singapore, practically in all sectors of the rental market: retail, office, and industrial.
As landlords, Reits are committed to maintaining and improving their properties and have consistently demonstrated this commitment by investing in extensive asset enhancement initiatives to refurbish and upgrade older properties in their portfolios, including introducing eco- technology into their properties. Such improvements have led to improved offerings for tenants and raised the quality of real estate in Singapore as a whole.
