Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad) has commenced building additional warehousing capacity totalling more than 250,000m2. Representing an investment of AED 621 million, the new units will be operational by the end of 2025, boosting Kezad’s total warehousing capacity by 43%.
The latest developments include prebuilt logistics and distribution warehouses, cold stores, light industrial units and showrooms of various sizes and specifications.
Kezad says it has started construction in response to strong demand for warehousing in Abu Dhabi, in both free zone and domestic industrial areas. Since the third quarter of 2022, the group has delivered more than 270,000 m2 of additional warehousing space, with the leased area having seen a 66% increase over the same period of time. Mohamed Al Khadar Al Ahmed, CEO of Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi, adds, “We are committed to develop more facilities for customers seeking ‘plug and play’ assets that leverage our zones’ global connectivity and highly competitive cost of doing business to expand their reach to new markets and customers in the region. Abu Dhabi’s business friendly atmosphere, safety and liveability of the city are also major attractions for companies relocating their staff to the region.”
