Aldar Properties and DP World have signed a strategic agreement where Aldar will fund and develop a 1.55 million sqft (144,000 sqm) Grade A logistics park at National Industries Park (NIP) in Jebel Ali, Dubai.
This partnership will provide Aldar access to develop and lease assets within NIP, strategically positioned near Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum International Airport, and well-connected to major road networks such as the E11 and E311.
Catering to the high demand for warehousing facilities, the project will target third-party logistics (3PL), eCommerce and retail tenants looking to expand or relocate. Construction is set to being in Q4 2024, with the first tenants set to be welcomed in Q4 2025.
Abdulla bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC, stated, “With more than 330 businesses operating their facilities out of NIP, the development of this logistics park will ensure that the right infrastructure and services are in place to meet the growing demands of our customers. This partnership underscores our dedication to delivering cutting-edge facilities and supply-chain solutions with our partners.”
The Grade A and LEED certified logistics park will sit on a 2.36 million sqft (220,000 sqm) plot and will comprise three modular buildings that can be modified to become single or multi tenanted facilities, offering flexible unit sizes.
Aldar will be responsible for the full development cycle of the logistics park, from concept and design to execution and management. The project represents a portion of the company’s recently announced AED 1 billion investment to expand its logistics real estate business in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
