Singapore industrial property market picking up!

People tell me to be careful about investing so much in industrial property S-REITs. They think it is going to experience a contraction in demand. I personally do not think so and shared my research here in my blog.

"According to Colliers International, average monthly gross rents for prime factory and warehouse spaces surged between 6 and 7 per cent on-quarter. This was the fastest quarterly growth in three years.

"But rents for all segments of prime factory and warehouse space are still below peak rates in the second half of 2008...

"Chia Siew Chuin, Director of Research & Advisory of Colliers International, said rents and capital values of industrial properties are expected to grow more moderately, in the range of 10 per cent in second half of this year." Read full article here.

For AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT, leases representing 4.3% of its rental income are due to expire in the financial year ending March 2012. We could see some positive rental income growth and, therefore, higher DPU, everything else remaining equal. With its properties likely to enjoy another bout of revaluation upwards, we could see its gearing level dropping as well. Good news are in the pipeline, it would seem.

Good luck to fellow unitholders.
