AIMS AMP Capital Industrial Reit on Thursday posted a 1.8 per cent increase in distribution per unit (DPU) to 2.8 Singapore cents for the second quarter ended Sep 30, 2015.

Gross revenue rose 3.2 per cent to S$31.3 million; net property income rose 2.4 per cent to S$20.7 million.

During the quarter, the trust successfully secured 13 new and renewal leases at a weighted average rental increase of 4.7 per cent on the renewals. The trust also managed to improve occupancy to 96.5 per cent from 96.1 per cent for the portfolio.
