Marina Bay Sands, Level 3, Heliconia Junior Ballroom
We hosted our annual flagship thought leadership event, REITAS Conference, on 20th November, and what an incredible event it was! The energy in the room, the quality of discussions, and the camaraderie among attendees truly made it a memorable event.
We were honored to have Mr. Tan Boon Gin, CEO of SGX RegCo, as our Guest of Honour (speech below), and the fireside chat with Mr. Kee Rui Xiong, Executive Director at MAS, offered invaluable insights into the future of the industry.
Another highlight was the launch of the updated report by REITAS and Deloitte, which provides a comprehensive look at how Singapore is positioned for its next phase of growth.
A heartfelt thank you to our Gold Sponsors, DBS and Rajah & Tann, and our Cocktails Sponsor, Perpetual, for their generous support. Their contributions ensured the success of this event!
The day was filled with solid, thoughtful content delivered by exceptional speakers, alongside vibrant networking and a palpable sense of community.
Here’s to fostering more conversations, collaborations, and progress as we drive the future of S-REITs. Thank you to everyone who joined us—it wouldn’t have been the same without you!
The management team from Daiwa House Logistics Trust shared about the REIT, an overview of their high quality portfolio, growth strategy and market outlook.

Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, L20 Window West
The next session of our full day in-person course on Sustainability for REITs is scheduled for Friday, 8 November. This is the second and final run of this course this year following excellent feedback from previous attendees.
The course is designed to provide junior and middle management working across different functions in a REIT with a comprehensive and practical understanding of how sustainability issues impact REIT management. The emphasis of the course is on the real-world application of environmental and stakeholder considerations when managing a REIT as well as on key aspects of sustainability-related regulations, finance and reporting. Instructors are senior practitioners in the REIT and real estate sustainability fields.
6 supplementary CPD points will be awarded to attendees upon request.
This course is designed to equip aspiring and new directors of REIT managers with the foundational knowledge required for this role. It fulfils the new requirement by SGX (effective 1 February 2024) which requires mandatory training for first-time directors of REIT managers. As Singapore REITs have a trust structure, potential directors of a REIT manager need additional understanding with regard to REIT regulations, taxation, accounting and management that go beyond that required by directors of other listed companies. The course will go over the unique aspects of being a director of a REIT manager and is taught by senior practitioners from the REIT industry.
