Keppel DC Reit highlighted that distributable income and distribution per unit increased by 4.1 per cent and 3.0 per cent yoy respectively, mainly due to contributions from acquisitions in Guangdong, China and asset enhancement initiatives, renewals, and income escalations.

Keppel Pacific Oak US Reit reported a decline in adjusted distributable income by 12.5 per cent yoy in Q1 2023, due to divestments of assets in H2 2022 and higher financing cost.
Its aggregate leverage is at 38.7 per cent and has no long-term refinancing requirements until Q4 2024.
Its portfolio continues to have a focus on technology and innovation and has 2.4 per cent built-in average annual rental escalation across the portfolio.
Sabana Industrial Reit announced that its portfolio occupancy in Q1 2023 has climbed to 92.6 per cent, the highest since Q1 2021, driven by new leases and demand for warehouse and logistics properties from third-party logistics service providers. The Reit achieved 13.6 per cent positive rental reversion, sustaining the positive quarterly rental reversion track record since Q1 2021.
