Centuria Industrial Reit (ASX: CIP)
Centuria Industrial could be a top option for income investors. It is the largest domestic pure play industrial REIT, with a portfolio of high-quality assets situated in key metropolitan locations throughout Australia.
The company also recently added to this portfolio with the acquisition of eight freehold urban infill industrial assets for $351.3 million. Management was very positive on the transaction, noting that it expands Centuria Industrial's exposure across attractive industrial sub-sectors. These include distribution centres, cold storage, and transport logistics.
Macquarie is very positive on the company and has an outperform rating and $4.22 price target on its shares. The broker is also forecasting a 17.3 cents per share distribution in FY 2022 and an 18.4 cents per share distribution in FY 2023.
Based on the current Centuria Industrial share price of $3.73, this will mean yields of 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively
Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT (ASX: CQE)
Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT could be another ASX dividend share to buy. This real estate investment trust focuses on investing in social infrastructure properties such as childcare centres, government sites, and healthcare buildings.
It also recently added some new properties to its portfolio. The REIT acquired two premium childcare assets in Queensland and a healthcare property owned by Healius Ltd (ASX: HLS) for a total of $58.4 million.
In response to the deal, Goldman Sachs retained its conviction buy rating, increased its price target to $3.91, and lifted its FY 2022 dividend estimate to 16.9 cents per share. Goldman then expects the latter to grow to ~17.7 cents per share in FY 2023.
Based on the current Charter Hall Social Infrastructure REIT share price of $3.68, this implies dividend yields of 4.6% and 4.8%, respectively, for investors.
