Jafza is strengthening its position with a strategic AED 90 million investment in Phase 2 of its cutting-edge Logistics Park.
The expansion of the park, which will add 360 000 square feet (33 440m) of Grade-A facilities, aligns with the UAE’s push to grow its logistics sector to AED 200 billion annually in the next seven years, further strengthening Dubai’s role in international trade.
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.
DP World COO for Parks and Zones Abdulla Al Hashmi said the expansion aimed to attract further foreign investment into the country.
"The expansion of Jafza Logistics Park reflects our commitment to helping businesses compete globally and simultaneously drive foreign investment into Dubai,” he said.
“Phase one was fully leased before completion, highlighting strong demand for quality logistics and warehousing, and phase two takes this a step further - offering flexible, high-quality solutions to support growth in multiple sectors.”
He said the expansion would increase the total area of Jafza Logistics Park to over 922 000 square feet (85 656m).
With the Middle East and Africa’s freight and logistics market set to hit $235.8bn 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 is expected to help close this gap - offering market access by leveraging Jafza’s connectivity with the Port of Jebel Ali and providing 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, labelling and quality control, with real-time inventory tracking, and enables re-exports, domestic fulfilment and import-export consolidation.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the park incorporates precast concrete and off-site construction methods to minimise environmental impact, as well as skylights to maximise natural daylight and cut energy consumption.
Jafza currently hosts 10 890 companies from 150 countries, supporting over 160 000 jobs and contributing AED 620bn in trade annually.
Phase one, completed in November 2023, spans 562 507 square feet (52 258m) and features Grade-A dry and pharma storage units, temperature-controlled warehouses, and office spaces.
