The trust expressed that data centres could feature more strongly in its deal pipeline, and has been exploring deals from its sponsor and third parties. The timeline for such acquisitions could still depend on its sponsor, the report noted.

A separate report by DBS projected that about 82% of its portfolio will derive from high-specification, business parks and data centre properties in 2020, higher than the current 71%.

Furthermore, sponsor pipeline or joint venture stakes, as well as third party acquisitions, should help grow the trust’s data centre exposure, Jefferies reported.

MIT’s’s net property income (NPI) rose 14% YoY to $81.91m in Q3 FY2019-2020, driven by improved occupancy from its business park buildings.
