Dubai Industrial City (DI), a member of TECOM Investments, has launched the second phase of its warehouse and showroom development, offering state-of-the-art storage facilities that will augment the growing logistics industry in Dubai and the UAE.

Built at a cost of Dh750 million (US$204.21 million), the new phase comprises 3.5 million square feet of warehouses and retail showrooms equipped with back storage, featuring units measuring 5,000 and 10,000 square feet.

These new facilities double the present size of the current storage facilities, and along with an additional 3 million square feet of open storage yards that are equipped with asphalted tarmacs and round-the-clock security, bring the aggregate amount of current storage at the light to medium industrial destination to 10 million square feet - the largest-of-its-kind under one area in the UAE.



Dubai Industrial City now features a total of 627 eight-meter high warehouses, and 122 retail showrooms with amenities for temperature-controlled and chemical storage, workshops for light industrial activities and machinery operation, in addition to warehouses for general-use.

Covering an area of 560 million square feet (55 square kilometres), it offers a dedicated manufacturing destination comprising six industrial clusters - food and beverage, base metal, mineral products, chemicals, transport equipment and parts and machinery and mechanical equipment. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
