Mapletree Industrial Trust distributable income rose 7.4% to $231.8m in FY18/19
Its full-year income was boosted by its 40% interest in 14 US data centres.
Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT) recorded a distributable income growth of 7.4% YoY to $231.8m from $215.8m in 2018 for FY18/19, attributed to higher net property income and full-year income contribution from MIT’s 40% interest in the portfolio of 14 data centres in the United States.
Net property income was at $287.8m, 3.7% YoY higher than $277.6m in the previous year. This was mainly due to contributions from development projects and acquisitions in Singapore including Phase Two of the build-to-suit project for HP Singapore, 18 Tai Seng and Mapletree Sunview 1.
