Keppel DC REIT to buy 98.47% stake in Tokyo Data Centre 3 for $707m

This increases its Japan’s share of assets from 4.3% to 16.4%.

Keppel DC REIT will acquire a 98.47% interest in Tokyo Data Centre 3 in Inzai City, Greater Tokyo, for $707m (JPY 82.1b).

Its effective share of the purchase price is $696.1m (JPY 80.8b), bringing the total outlay, including fees and taxes, to $708.3m (JPY 82.2b).

The freehold, five-storey facility is a new hyperscale data centre built to Tier III-equivalent standards and latest seismic codes.

It has a gross floor area of about 197,872 sq ft and is fully leased for 15 years to a Fortune Global 500 technology company, with annual rent escalations.

The deal will boost Keppel DC REIT’s Japan portfolio from 4.3% to 16.4% of total assets and raise overall assets under management to $5.7b across 25 data centres in 10 countries. Management expects the acquisition to be immediately DPU-accretive, lifting FY2024 pro forma DPU from 9.451 cents to 9.712 cents.

The purchase will be funded through JPY-denominated debt, proceeds from a preferential offering, and new units issued as fees.

Aggregate leverage is projected to rise from 30.0% to 34.5% whilst maintaining a debt headroom of about $559m.

Completion is targeted by end-2025, subject to regulatory and contractual approvals.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
