PRE-BUILT WAREHOUSES

​

• Companies can minimise capex costs by setting up logistics operations at KIZAD’s Logistics Park (KLP). Set to become one of the leading warehousing centres in the region, KLP is comprised of pre-built, well-designed modular warehouse units equipped with easy access loading docks for trucks, raised docked floor levels and clear open spaces for the eaves. Each unit has its own dedicated loading yard with ramp access for forklifts and designated on-site parking.

• All units are provided with sufficient power to be cooled to a target temperature of 25°C. Around 15% of the units are equipped with enhanced power provision for cold storage.

• KLP is designed to be fully flexible with combinations in various sizes and layouts. The design also includes the shell and core scheme for setting up a mezzanine office.

• There are two non-free zone phases and one free zone phase to choose from. KLP Phase 1 comprises 41 units (already let) while KLP Phase 2 has 64 warehouse units ready for lease.

• The free zone phase of KLP is currently under design and can take up approximately 17,000 square metres.

​

FREE ZONE OFFICES

 

• KIZAD’s Free Zone Offices feature state-of-the-art, ready-to-move-in executive offices and dedicated workstations that provide fast and efficient business set-up with competitive operating costs.

• Located on the ground-floor of KIZAD’s headquarters, the streamlined registration and licensing process for your business is supported by our dedicated team of experts who can also fast-track UAE visa issuance.

​

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL UNITS

 

• KIZAD makes a clear distinction between units designed for storage or light industrial uses. Their pre-built light industrial units (LIU) are currently being designed for construction. The project is expected to roll out shortly. When ready, it will deliver a high-quality, flexible and self-functioning LIU Park that addresses the needs of light manufacturing processes.
