Singapore a choice site for data centres, but constraints on supply incur ‘opportunity cost’, NUS poll finds 

[SINGAPORE] Land scarcity, high land prices and sustainability requirements in Singapore are keeping data centre investors and asset managers at bay, a poll by the National University of Singapore (NUS) suggests. 

Only one-third of respondents surveyed rated Singapore’s data centre market positively in terms of competitiveness and investment appeal, relative to other data centres in the region.

In terms of investment yield, data centres outperform other commercial and industrial assets, noted Sing Tien Foo, the provost chair professor in real estate at the National University of Singapore Business School.
