KEZAD Group, one of the region’s largest operators of integrated and purpose-built economic zones, has announced the addition of five new industrial and logistics projects across KEZAD Al Ain and KEZAD Al Ma’mourah. The projects represent a combined investment of AED 147 million, spanning more than 84,000 square metres and expected to generate around 500 jobs.
The new developments highlight sustained investor confidence in Abu Dhabi’s industrial ecosystem, with projects spanning sectors such as oilfield chemicals, metal processing, manufacturing, and logistics.
Among the key investments, Haber/Elixir will establish an oilfield chemicals blending facility, while Grand Line Industries will develop a car cleaning products manufacturing unit. Precent Enterprises Metals Coating is set to build a metal forming and coating facility, and Unibal Group Investment will launch its second industrial and logistics warehousing project in the emirate—Unibal Park II—marking its first presence in KEZAD Al Ain. Additionally, Al Lul Transport & General Contracting will develop a major warehousing and logistics project in KEZAD Al Ma’mourah.
Four of the projects will be located in KEZAD Al Ain, accounting for a combined investment of AED 47 million, covering over 37,400 square metres and creating approximately 200 jobs. The fifth and largest project, based in KEZAD Al Ma’mourah, represents an investment of AED 100 million, spans more than 46,500 square metres, and is expected to generate 300 jobs.
Commenting on the announcement, Abdullah Al Hameli, Chief Executive Officer of Economic Cities & Free Zones at AD Ports Group, said the agreements reflect steady demand for industrial and logistics assets that contribute to real economic activity in Abu Dhabi. He highlighted that the scale, sectoral diversity, and job creation potential of these projects will strengthen the emirate’s industrial base by enhancing production capabilities, warehousing capacity, and long-term value across the trade ecosystem.
The announcement builds on KEZAD’s strong performance in 2025, when it reached 73.6 square kilometres of leased land, including 3.3 square kilometres of net new leases. Notably, 67 per cent of total land leases were linked to industrial and manufacturing activity. The Economic Cities & Free Zones cluster of AD Ports Group, which includes KEZAD, reported revenues of AED 2.87 billion in 2025, marking a 45 per cent year-on-year increase.
KEZAD also expanded its infrastructure footprint last year by delivering 146,000 square metres of new warehouse capacity while maintaining a high occupancy rate of 91 per cent. The group continued to advance specialised hubs such as Metal Park, Rahayel Auto and Mobility City, Agtech Park, and Abu Dhabi Food Hub, further diversifying its industrial offering.
The latest agreements underscore KEZAD’s role in providing investors with integrated, ready-to-use infrastructure that combines industrial land, warehousing, utilities, and connectivity within a single ecosystem—supporting business growth and reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a regional hub for industry and logistics.
