Singapore-listed Keppel DC REIT has entered the Japanese data centre market with the acquisition of a JPY23.4bn (€133m) asset in Tokyo.
Keppel DC REIT would have a 98.47% interest in the multi-storey Tokyo Data Centre 1, while the remaining 1.53% interest in the property will be held by the parent company Keppel.
