Sabana Industrial REIT Review @ 2 February 2023

Basic Profile & Key Statistics
  • Main Sector(s): Industrial, Logistics & Retail
  • Country(s) with Assets: Singapore
  • No. of Properties (exclude development/associate/fund): 18

Key Indicators


Performance Highlight
Gross revenue has improved yoy mainly due to higher contributions from New Tech Park, 30 & 32 Tuas Avenue 8, 508 Chai Chee Lane, 23 Serangoon North Avenue 5 and 10 Changi South Street 2. Despite that, NPI remains the same due to significantly higher property expenses (43.7% increase) arising from the surge in utility expenses. The amount available for distribution and DPU declined due to higher interest expenses.

Rental Reversion
Rental reversion for 2H is at 16.2%. For FY22, the rental reversion is at 12.9%.

Asset Enhancement Initiative
The AEIS of 2TTL and 10CSS2 have completed. There are also multiple ongoing AEI for New Tech Park, 508CCL and 39UR1.


For the AEI of 1 Tuas Avenue 4, the appointment of the main contractor is targeted to be in 1Q 2023. And the target completion is at the end of 2023 or early 2024.

For every 0.5% increase in interest rate, DPU impact would be reduced by 0.8% per annum.

The performance has been negatively impacted by the rise in interest expenses and utility expenses. Moving forward, the steady positive rental reversion (thanks to intensive AEIs) and energy-saving initiatives should help to mitigate these cost increases.
