DESPITE pandemic headwinds, Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts (S-Reits) have continued to scoop up high-quality assets, with a focus on office properties and data centres located abroad.
They made some S$8.9 billion in property investments in the first 3 quarters of 2021, close to the S$9.4 billion injected during the whole of 2020, according to the Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies' (IREUS) analysis of data from Bloomberg and S-Reits' announcements.
