Dubai South, the UAE's largest aviation and logistics focused urban development, and Aldar Properties, a leading real estate developer in the region, have joined forces to bolster Dubai's position as a premier logistics hub. This strategic partnership will see the development of Grade A logistics facilities within Dubai South's Logistics District, catering to the growing demand for high-quality warehousing and distribution solutions.
The collaboration leverages the expertise of both entities. Dubai South boasts a prime location with direct access to Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port, two of the most crucial transportation arteries in the region. Aldar Properties, on the other hand, brings its extensive experience in developing and managing real estate projects. This powerful combination creates an ideal environment for businesses seeking efficient and well-connected logistics facilities.
A testament to the project's significance is the development of a dedicated build-to-suit facility for Kuehne+Nagel, a global leader in logistics solutions. This massive project, spanning over 22, 000 square meters, will provide Kuehne+Nagel with a comprehensive logistics solution encompassing warehousing, e-commerce capabilities, and dedicated office space. The facility is strategically situated within EZDubai, a fully dedicated e-commerce hub strategically located within Dubai South. Expected for completion in Q2 2025, this project exemplifies the potential of the partnership between Dubai South and Aldar Properties.
The joint venture extends beyond the Kuehne+Nagel facility. The agreement paves the way for the development of a wider range of Grade A logistics facilities within the Dubai South Logistics District. This includes both build-to-suit and build-to-lease options, catering to the diverse needs of logistics companies. By offering a variety of options, the partnership ensures that businesses of all sizes can find a solution that perfectly aligns with their specific requirements.
This strategic collaboration between Dubai South and Aldar Properties is a significant development for the UAE's logistics sector. By creating a hub for high-quality logistics facilities, the partnership will not only attract leading international companies but also empower local businesses to thrive in the global marketplace. With Dubai's well-established infrastructure and its commitment to innovation, this project has the potential to further solidify the emirate's position as a leading logistics and trade gateway.
