Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (A-Reit) on Friday posted a 16 per cent rise in quarterly distributable income, boosted by higher rentals at its business park properties.

A-Reit, Singapore’s second-biggest property trust by market value, earned distributable net income of $51.8 million (US$38.3 million) or 3.89 Singapore cents per unit, for its fiscal first quarter ending June 30.
