Comparison of Industrial Reits Part 2

I will be comparing Mapletree and Ascendas Reit in this post.


Both are bigger reits with government-linked heritage.



Capital management

Both have prudent refinancing schedule stretch over more than 6 years. With the exception of FY19/20 (27%) for Mapletree, both have less than 20% of bank borrowing scheduled for refinancing for any one year.

Portfolio management 

Both reits managed positive rental renewal across all property segments. Average rental reversion is 6.3% compared to a year ago for ascendas, but data not available for Mapletree. As for new leases, light industrial new leases rate is 21% lower than 1 year ago for ascendas. Again, no data available for comparion with Mapletree.

In terms of occupancy rates, Ascendas did better in Business Park Segment and Hi Tech/ Hi Spec industrial segment, but lost out to Mapletree in light industrial segment.

In terms of lease expiry, Ascendas has better profile, with  maximum of 20.3% of NPI due for renewal at 2016/7, whereas for the next 3 years, Mapletree has 20.3%, 23.8%, and 27.9% of NPI due for renewal.

Growth management

Ascendas's Aperia is only completed in 15 August, and it is only 49.6% committed, with 15% under negotiation, and has yet taken physical possession.

DBS phase 2 of 7081 sqm already committed.

That will be 51071 sqm of space, 1.7% of Ascendas's GFA

Maple tree has 2 BTS projected that are 100% committed and will 772200 sft of space, 7.2% of Mapletree's GFA.


In conclusion:

Both are prudent in their capital management and while Mapletree face more risk in terms of renewal of lease expiry, exodus of tenants is highly unlikely. Mapletree also has better growth visibility, and offer better yield.

Hmm... ...

  3. Mapletree Industrial do not have warehouse in their portfolio as warehouse fall under Mapletree logistic.
    IMO, Industrial REITs main disadvantage is the short term lease of land. So is important to know who their boss is, :)
    Ascendas is under Ascendas group, which is under JTC
    Mapletree is under Mapltree group, which is under Temasek Holding

    1. Yup yup,

      Big sponsor with high stake ensure they can mop up rights issue when there is a crisis, get the vehicle intact.

      They also have a stronger pipeline and hence the renewal of assets which is particular important to industrial reit with shorter leases, as you pointed out, become even more important.

      The smaller reits used to command much higher yield in excess of 8.5%, but have since narrowed, and hence the attractiveness is lowered too.

      I have not study Viva, I know it used to have very high yield due to some financial engineering, not sure about it now...
