Phase 2 of Jafza logistics park begins

The expansion is set to add 360,000 square feet (33,445 square metres) of facilities at the park, strategically located next to Jebel Ali Port.

The development will support the UAE’s ambition to grow its logistics industry to AED 200 billion (US$54.45 billion) annually by 2032.

“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,” said Abdulla Al Hashmi, chief operating officer, Parks & Zones, DP World GCC.

“This brings the total area of Jafza Logistics Park to over 922,000 square feet as we continue to grow our state-of-the-art infrastructure.”

With the Middle East and Africa’s freight and logistics market projected to reach US$235.8 billion by 2031, demand for advanced warehousing solutions is accelerating, particularly in Dubai.

To meet this growing need, Phase 2 will feature new infrastructure including customisable units, modern offices, temperature-controlled warehouses and loading docks.

Sustainability is a key focus in the development, with the park using precast concrete and off-site construction methods. Additionally, skylights will be used to maximise natural daylight and reduce energy consumption.

Jafza currently hosts over 10,890 companies, supporting 160,000 jobs and generating AED 620 billion (US$168.8 billion) in annual trade.
