    With data centre demand continuing to rise, Loh Hwee Long, chief executive of the Reit’s manager, said that the Reit will focus on Singapore and Japan for good quality deals that are accretive to its unitholders.

    He noted that both locations have a tight supply of data centre capacity and high demand, resulting in favourable dynamics for landlords.
