JAFZA LOGISTICS PARK construction work begins

Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), one of the biggest trading hubs, has started construction of its Jafza Logistics Park as demand for warehousing units continues to increase due to e-commerce boom fuelled by the pandemic. “The park is scheduled for completion next year. The purpose-built trading and logistics development will accommodate the growing number of warehousing, processing, and logistics activities carried out in Dubai,” as per the statement. “We recognise the role logistics plays in enabling the growth of industries across the globe,” said Abdulla Bin Damithan, Chief Executive and MD, DP World, UAE and Jafza. “As the UAE grows into a global processing and re-distribution gateway, we have experienced a spike in demand for logistics and warehousing space. We are building the park in response to give an impetus to the development of the UAE’s logistics sector,” he added.
