Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD Group) said it has secured five new industrial and logistics projects across KEZAD Al Ain and KEZAD Al Ma’mourah in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, the projects reflect continued investor demand for integrated economic zones built to support industrial expansion.
The five developments carry a combined investment commitment of AED147m ($40.03m). Additionally, they cover more than 84,000 sq m and are expected to create 500 jobs.
The projects include Haber/Elixir, which will establish an oilfield chemicals blending facility, and Grand Line Industries, which will set up a car cleaning products manufacturing facility. Meanwhile, Precent Enterprises Metals Coating will develop a metal forming and coating facility.
Unibal Group Investment will develop its second industrial and logistics warehousing project in Abu Dhabi and its first in KEZAD Al Ain under Unibal Park II. Additionally, Al Lul Transport & General Contracting will develop a major industrial and logistics warehousing project in KEZAD Al Ma’mourah.
The latest projects add to momentum recorded in 2025, when KEZAD reached 73.6 sq km of leased land. Furthermore, it achieved 3.3 sq km of net new land leases, with 67% of total leases linked to industrial and manufacturing activity.
The Economic Cities & Free Zones cluster of AD Ports Group, which includes KEZAD, also reported AED2.87bn in revenue in 2025, representing a 45% year-on-year increase.
Abdullah Al Hameli, Chief Executive Officer, Economic Cities & Free Zones, AD Ports Group, said: “These new projects reflect steady demand for industrial and logistics assets that support real economic activity in Abu Dhabi. The combined scale of investment, the diversity of sectors involved, and the 500 jobs these projects are expected to create are the highlights of these projects. This is the kind of growth that strengthens Abu Dhabi’s industrial base in practical terms, adding production capability, warehousing capacity, and long-term value across the wider trade ecosystem.”
Al Ain and Al Ma’mourah allocations
Four of the projects are located in KEZAD Al Ain. Collectively, they represent more than 37,400 sq m, AED47m in investment, and 200 jobs.
The fifth project is based in KEZAD Al Ma’mourah in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, it covers more than 46,500 sq m and includes AED100m in investment, supporting 300 jobs, making it the largest project by both value and employment.
KEZAD said the agreements underline its ability to attract businesses seeking ready infrastructure and connected industrial platforms. Additionally, the projects expand its industrial offering across chemicals, metal processing, warehousing, and logistics.
Warehousing expansion supports industrial growth
The agreements come as KEZAD continues expanding its industrial and warehousing footprint. In 2025, the Economic Cities & Free Zones cluster delivered 146,000 sq m of new warehouse capacity.
Despite the additional supply, warehouse occupancy remained at 91%. Moreover, KEZAD continued developing specialised hubs including Metal Park, Rahayel Auto and Mobility City, Agtech Park, and Abu Dhabi Food Hub, strengthening its coverage across key industrial sectors.
