[SINGAPORE] Industry watchers are “cautiously optimistic” about the prospect of new real estate investment trust (Reit) listings on the Singapore bourse, noting that these additions will add diversity and variety to the Reit market here.
However, the new listings will need to have at least S$1 billion in market capitalisation and be sponsored by an entity with a good track record to generate investor interest, they added.
Several Reits are expected to list on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) this year. Japan’s Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT) is said to be mulling the listing of a data centre Reit, while French property asset manager Praemia Reim is considering listing a healthcare Reit, media reports indicated.
