Jafza expands Logistics Park with AED 90m investment

Jafza is expanding its facilities with a AED 90 million investment in phase 2 of its cutting-edge Logistics Park, adding 360,000 sq ft, in alignment with the UAE's push to grow its logistics sector to AED 200 billion annually over the next seven years.

The second phase delivers world-class infrastructure, including modern offices, customisable units, temperature-controlled warehouses, loading docks, and enhanced power capacity to support diverse industries.

Chief Operating Officer of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, Abdulla Al Hashmi, said, “The expansion of Jafza Logistics Park reflects our commitment to helping businesses compete globally and simultaneously drive foreign investment into Dubai.”

He added that phase 1 was fully leased before completion, and phase 2 will offer flexible, high-quality solutions to support growth in multiple sectors, bringing the total area of Jafza Logistics Park to over 922,000 square feet.

With the Middle East and Africa’s freight and logistics market set to hit $235.8 billion (AED 866 billion) by 2031, demand for advanced warehousing is accelerating, including in Dubai, where sectors like manufacturing, logistics, construction, and e-commerce are driving unprecedented growth. The newly expanded park helps close this gap.

Jafza currently hosts 10,890 companies from 150 countries, supporting over 160,000 jobs and contributing AED 620 billion in trade annually.

Phase 1, completed in November 2023, spans 562,507 square feet, featuring Grade-A dry and pharma storage units, temperature-controlled warehouses, and office spaces.
