Digital Core REIT Lifts Portfolio Occupancy to 98% With 10-Year Linton Hall Lease

Digital Core REIT ( (SG:DCRU) ) has shared an update.

Digital Core REIT has secured a 10-year lease with an investment-grade global cloud service provider for its entire data centre facility at 8217 Linton Hall Road in Virginia, starting 1 December 2026. The deal is expected to generate approximately US$14.8 million in annualised net property income (US$13.3 million at Digital Core REIT’s 90% share), representing about a 35% uplift from the previous rent, while restoring the asset to full occupancy and sharply boosting portfolio performance metrics. Once the lease commences, overall portfolio occupancy will rise from 81% to 98%, the share of rent from investment-grade customers will increase from 79% to 82%, and the weighted average lease expiry will extend from 4.7 to 5.7 years, strengthening the REIT’s income visibility and risk profile. Management framed the transaction as evidence of resilient demand for data centres in core markets and a demonstration of the benefits of its sponsor’s global platform, positioning Digital Core REIT for continued organic growth and future acquisitions aimed at enhancing long-term value for unitholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (SG:DCRU) stock is a Buy with a $0.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Digital Core REIT stock, see the SG:DCRU Stock Forecast page.
