CHINESE shopping mall landlord Dasin Retail Trust's CEO Wang Qiu targets to double the market capitalisation of the business trust from about S$565.3 million (as at April 9) to S$1 billion in three to five years' time.

One way it plans to do so is through inorganic acquisitions of its sponsor Zhongshan Dasin Real Estate's assets, to which it has the right of first refusal (ROFR), Ms Wang said in Mandarin in an interview with The Business Times last month.

The trust is already eyeing some of the better-quality assets such as Sanjiao Metro Mall, Shiqi Metro Mall No.2, Fusha Metro Mall, Xinjiayuan Metro Mall and Xinghui Metro Mall in Zhongshan, Guangdong province.
