DSV Partners with Arcapita to Build State-of-the-Art Sustainable Warehouse at Jebel Ali

DSV, a global logistics leader, has partnered with global alternative investment firm, Arcapita Group Holdings Limited to develop a state-of-the-art, 30,000 square meter build-to-suit warehouse in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA).

The warehouse will also provide specialized “white glove” logistics services for high-value and sensitive shipments, particularly for the healthcare and luxury goods sectors.

Group AMANA, the leading regional design-build company, kicked off construction following a special groundbreaking event, having been awarded the official design and build contract for the facility.

Utilizing Modular construction, offsite construction, and BIM technology, AMANA aims to deliver a high quality, more sustainable facility within 11 months.

Sustainability and Innovation at the Core of the New Warehouse

The warehouse, designed to meet the highest international standards, will feature advanced automation systems, LEED certification for energy efficiency, and be subject to green building practices.

The facility will support key industries such as Healthcare, Consumer and Retail, Technology, Automotive, and Industrial verticals with a capacity for 75,000 pallet positions, a dedicated area for handling hazardous materials such as lithium batteries, and a large covered outdoor storage space.

“This project reflects the evolving needs of the logistics sector,” said Isa Al Khalifa, Director of Real Estate Investments at Arcapita.

“As one of the largest investors in industrial real estate in the GCC, we are proud to deliver tailored, energy-efficient facilities to support the increasing complexity of global supply chains.”

Chrys Mendonca, Managing Director of DSV Dubai, added: “This warehouse underscores our commitment to providing innovative and sustainable logistics solutions for our clients. It reflects our strategic focus on key verticals and our dedication to meeting the growing demands of the region.”
