The Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) is investing AED 90m (US$24.5m) in the expansion of its logistics park in Dubai to support the growth of international trade in the region.
Phase 2 of the project will include the addition of 33,445m2 of Grade A facilities including modern offices, customizable units, temperature-controlled warehouses, loading docks and enhanced power capacity to support diverse industries.
Abdulla Al Hashmi, chief operating officer, parks and zones, DP World GCC, which owns Jafza, said, “The expansion of Jafza Logistics Park reflects our commitment to helping businesses compete globally and simultaneously drive foreign investment into Dubai. Phase 1 was fully leased before completion, highlighting strong demand for quality logistics and warehousing, and Phase 2 takes this a step further – offering flexible, high-quality solutions to support growth in multiple sectors. This brings the total area of Jafza Logistics Park to over 922,000ft2 [85,656m2] as we continue to grow our state-of-the-art infrastructure.”
The newly expanded park will leverage Jafza’s connectivity with Jebel Ali Port and provide advanced storage and handling solutions including contract logistics, freight forwarding and freight management for everything from tech and automotive parts to fashion and packaged food.
It also provides value-added services like packaging, labeling and quality control, with real-time inventory tracking, and enables re-exports, domestic fulfilment and import-export consolidation.
