  "account": "SDC Capital Partners, a US digital infrastructure firm, is reportedly planning to list a real estate investment trust (REIT) in Singapore, potentially raising US$1 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter. The firm is collaborating with advisers to finalize the initial public offering (IPO), which could take place as early as next year, according to the sources. While deliberations are still ongoing, the size and timing of the IPO may still change, they added. A SDC representative declined to comment on the matter. REITs have been a major driver in Singapore's market, with data center-related and AI-linked trusts leading the way. Last year, NTT DC REIT, backed by Japan's NTT, raised US$773 million in what was the largest IPO in Singapore for eight years. In February, UI Boustead REIT raised US$807 million, setting a record. Centurion Accommodation REIT's IPO ranked third among recent offerings. Other REITs in the pipeline include AirTrunk, a data center operator backed by Blackstone, which plans to raise around US$1.5 billion through its IPO. Major US technology companies, such as Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Amazon.com, have collectively committed nearly US$2.4 trillion to data centers and related equipment in the coming years, highlighting the significant investment in the infrastructure required for AI. However, investor concerns have emerged regarding the sustainability of this rush. Significant IPO proceeds have been generated by Singapore in 2023, with data compiled by Bloomberg showing over US$1 billion in proceeds. While AirTrunk's upcoming IPO may further contribute to this amount, Singapore still lags behind Hong Kong in terms of total IPO proceeds.",
