Ranjini Venkatesan, vice president and senior credit officer at Moody’s Ratings, was a guest on the latest episode of the Nareit REIT Report podcast.
Venkatesan discussed how capital investment levels have been high for both Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) and Equinix, Inc . (Nasdaq: EQIX), and are expected to remain so.
“Over the last three years, annual investment by Digital Realty and Equinix averaged 5.5 % of their gross asset base, which is high,” she said. Both REITs have demonstrated the ability to raise capital at healthy pricing through different credit cycles and with strong leasing execution for the properties being built, she added.
