Jafza completes phase 1 of new logistics park
DP World's Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) has successfully completed Phase 1 of Jafza Logistics Park, a multi-tenant logistics warehousing facility developed in collaboration with Group AMANA.
Jafza Logistics Park is a significant milestone in DP World's commitment to providing world-class logistics solutions to meet the growing demand for warehousing and distribution space in the region.
The first phase covers a vast area of 562,507 square feet and includes a variety of facilities, such as ‘Grade-A’ Dry & Pharma storage units, temperature-controlled warehouses, and office space. The park is also equipped with amenities, such as loading docks, security, and CCTV surveillance.
Phase 1 was leased completely before its completion, showing the strength of demand for logistics and warehousing solutions.
Phase 2, which will add another 250,000 square feet of Grade A storage facilities, is scheduled for completion in Q1 2025. It is also being developed by Group AMANA, one of the GCC’s leading design and build construction consultancies.
“The successful completion of the Logistics Park is a significant achievement that will empower businesses and stimulate economic growth. The park's strategic connectivity via Jebel Ali will boost our customers' reach and help them further expand their footprint, facilitating seamless access to global markets and enhancing their competitiveness,” said Abdulla Al Hashmi, Chief Operating Officer, Parks & Zones at DP World GCC.
