Dubai, UAE – DP World and Lintara Real Estate, the real estate development platform of Arcapita Group Holdings Limited (“Arcapita”), have broken ground on a new 20,000-square-metre, built-to-suit Grade A logistics facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), reinforcing Dubai’s position as a leading regional logistics hub.

The new development, which will be delivered by Lintara Real Estate and operated by DP World as part of its integrated supply chain network, is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027.

Designed to meet the operational requirements of individual customers, the facility will feature approximately 12-metre-high warehouse ceilings, temperature-controlled storage areas, dedicated hazardous goods storage, as well as modern office space and supporting operational facilities.

Ahmed Yousif Al Hasan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, DP World GCC, said: “This state-of-the-art facility represents the type of logistics infrastructure our customers need to manage increasingly sophisticated supply chains. Once completed, it will expand the availability of premium Grade A warehousing in JAFZA and strengthen our ability to deliver integrated supply chain solutions across the GCC. The project also reflects the continued evolution of Dubai’s trade ecosystem to support the changing requirements of regional and global businesses.”

Sheikh Isa bin Hussam Al Khalifa, Executive Director and Head of Real Estate – MENA at Arcapita Group, and Chief Executive Officer of Lintara Real Estate, said: “This milestone reflects our continued focus on developing high-quality logistics assets tailored to the operational needs of tenants in JAFZA, one of the region’s most important logistics hubs. The project responds to growing demand for institutional-grade logistics facilities in strategic locations, helping customers enhance distribution efficiency while supporting the long-term resilience of regional supply chains.”

The project underscores sustained demand for high-quality, purpose-built logistics infrastructure in Dubai as companies continue to strengthen regional supply chains and expand their distribution capabilities close to major trade corridors.

Lintara Real Estate will oversee the project’s development throughout the construction phase before assuming responsibility for asset management upon completion. The facility forms part of Arcapita’s broader strategy of investing in leased industrial and logistics real estate assets across key regional logistics markets.
