The Digital Core REIT IPO Portfolio comprises 10 institutional quality, 100% freehold data centres concentrated within top-tier markets in the US and Canada with an aggregate appraised valuation of US$1.4bn.
DCREIT is backed by US-listed Digital Realty, who will take a 10% stake in the REIT. Digital Realty is the largest owner, operator, developer and acquirer of data centres in the world. As of 30 June 2021, Digital Reality had a total committed active investment of US$5bn.
The REIT will have a projected distribution yield of 4.75% for FY2022 and DPU growth of 5.26% from FY2022 to FY2023. For reference, DCREIT’s DPU is higher than Keppel DC REIT’s (KDCREIT) forecasted yield of 4.3% for FY2021 and 4.5% for FY2022.
