Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad), a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Ports, said it has broken ground on its key small-to-medium light-industrial warehousing and industrial units as part of its efforts to meet growing and diverse demands of the industry.

The range of small-to-medium light-industrial warehousing units comprise the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh phases of the Kizad Logistics Park and are set to be introduced to the market starting from the end of the year to cater to increasing customer demands for additional ready to move facilities.

KLP’s launch is the latest in a series of recent developments announced by the Middle East’s largest industrial zone, said the statement from Kizad.

Earlier this month, Kizad broke ground on a dedicated Truck Plaza, the largest in the region, to meet the needs of truck drivers and the zone’s growing industrial community.

The Plaza, roughly equal in size to 12 soccer fields, comprises shaded truck, bus and car parking spaces together with a community centre, a fuel station, and several retail outlets including a convenience store, restaurants, a car care service, and a mosque, it stated.

Abdullah Al Hameli, the acting head of Industrial Zones Cluster at Abu Dhabi Ports, said: "Industrial activity and warehousing demand has been quite resilient, and we are confident that launching these ultra-modern units will propel tremendous growth in Abu Dhabi’s manufacturing base."

"Customers are looking for flexible and asset-light options, and we are expanding our portfolio to address these needs through the launching of a new modular, pre-built units in various sizes and configurations," observed Al Hameli.

According to Kizad, new developments in KLP 4 and KLP 5 span a total plot area of 250,000 sq m, and offer a range of mixed-use warehousing and light industrial units.

These comprise 26 showroom warehouse units (24 units of 795 sq m and two units of 1,920 sq m) and 88 small-to-medium light-industrial and warehousing units (76 units of 500 sq m; six units of 1,000 sq m; one unit of 1,666 sq m; and six light industrial units of 1,028 sq m).

Further, KLP 6 & KLP 7 offer dedicated plots spanning a total of 330,000 sq m, housing 20 large terraced units, each with an individual floor space of 2,500 sq m, while KLP 7 will feature 56 medium light-industrial and warehousing units, it stated.

Located in Kizad Area A, all modules will be equipped with raised floors, open loading yard access for trucks and forklifts, ample on-site parking will include their own office area with toilets and kitchenettes.

"With the availability of options to buy or lease warehouses based upon a business’s individual requirements, investors are benefit from our flexible offers for low-cost operations at scale as well as our ability to offer the region’s lowest utility costs," remarked Al Hameli.

"This is complemented by the unique location at the industrial heart of the UAE, and its direct access to global markets via our flagship deep-water port, Khalifa Port," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
