Dubai: DP World and Lintara Properties, the real estate development platform of Arcapita Group Holdings Limited, have broken ground on a new 20,000 square metre build-to-suit logistics centre in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza).
According to Emirates News Agency, the Grade A facility is being developed by Lintara Properties and will be operated by DP World as part of its integrated, end-to-end supply chain network in the region. Construction is expected to conclude in the first quarter of 2027.
The new facility will feature approximately 12-metre clear height storage, temperature-controlled areas, dedicated dangerous goods storage, supporting office space, and associated operational amenities.
Ahmad Yousef Al-Hassan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC, stated that the facility represents the type of logistics infrastructure required by customers to manage more complex supply chains. Once complete, the facility will add Grade A purpose-built warehousing capability in Jafza and support more integrated supply chain solutions across the GCC, highlighting the evolution of Dubai's trade ecosystem in line with regional and international business needs.
Isa Al Khalifa, Managing Director and Head of MENA Real Estate at Arcapita and CEO of Lintara Properties, emphasized the milestone as a reflection of their focus on delivering high-quality, purpose-built logistics assets aligned with tenant operational needs. He noted Jebel Ali Free Zone's significance as a key logistics hub and the project's role in addressing the growing demand for well-located, institutional-grade facilities that enable efficient distribution and long-term operational reliability.
The project underscores the continued demand for high-quality, purpose-built logistics infrastructure in Dubai as companies strengthen regional supply chains and expand distribution capabilities closer to key trade corridors. Lintara Properties will act as Development Manager during the construction phase and assume Asset Management responsibilities upon completion. This development is part of Arcapita's broader strategy to invest in high-quality, tenant-led industrial real estate across key regional logistics hubs.
