DP World’s Jebel Ali Freezone (Jafza) has completed phase one of Jafza Logistics Park, a multi-tenant logistics warehousing facility developed in collaboration with Emirati construction group Amana, according to a press release. The first phase covers some 563k square feet, and includes Grade-A dry and pharma storage units, temperature-controlled warehouses, office spaces, loading docks, security, and CCTV surveillance, the release adds.

Strong demand: Phase 1 was leased completely prior to its completion, reflecting robust demand, the statement said. The park’s strategic connectivity via Jebel Ali will boost customers’ access to global markets, increasing their competitiveness and helping them expand their footprint, DP World Parks and Zones COO Abdulla Al Hashimi said.

What’s next? Phase two, also constructed by Amana, is scheduled for completion in 1Q 2025. The second phase will add another 250k square feet of storage facilities to the logistics park.

Background: Construction of the Jafza Logistics Park began in April 2022, to accommodate Dubai’s growing warehousing, processing, and logistics market. Jafza logistics park’s design uses precast concrete elements and off-site construction techniques to limit environmental impact, while using skylights to harness natural lighting and limit energy consumption, the release adds.
