    DATA centres turned out to be the surprise package in what was otherwise an expected financial performance posted by Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts, or S-Reits, in the third quarter ended September.

    Data centre assets posted “exceptionally strong” rental reversion figures, said RHB analyst Vijay Natarajan.

    In particular, he pointed out the example of Keppel DC Reit , which renewed a major contract with a positive rental reversion of more than 40 per cent.
