What is Industrial Property?
Недвижимость для производства, складирования, дистрибуции, логистики или НИОКР: фабрики, фулфилмент-центры, холодные склады и технопарки.
Description
Industrial property encompasses any real estate used for production, storage, or logistics. It is the backbone of supply chain infrastructure and has become one of the strongest-performing real estate sectors globally, driven by e-commerce growth and supply chain resilience strategies.
Dubai's position as a global logistics hub drives strong demand for industrial property. Key areas include Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), Dubai Industrial City, Dubai South, Al Quoz, and Dubai Investment Park. Jebel Ali Port handles over 15 million TEU annually, making nearby warehousing prime logistics real estate. Industrial rents in Dubai range from AED 25-55/sqft depending on location and specification.
Industrial property typically offers higher yields than residential (7-10% in Dubai), longer lease terms (3-10 years), and lower tenant turnover. However, it requires specialized knowledge, larger capital commitments, and carries tenant concentration risk. The rise of last-mile logistics facilities has created a sub-sector with particularly strong demand growth.
How to interpret
Industrial property offers a different risk-return profile than residential. Longer lease terms (3-10 years versus 1 year for residential) provide income certainty, but tenant concentration risk is higher. Losing a single industrial tenant can leave a large space vacant for an extended period. Evaluate the tenant's financial strength and lease structure as carefully as the property itself.

Dubai's industrial property market is driven by its position as the region's leading logistics hub. Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) is the largest free zone in the Middle East and a global benchmark for logistics infrastructure. Investors in industrial property near Dubai South or Dubai Industrial City benefit from proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport, the world's largest planned cargo airport, which is expected to drive sustained long-term demand for logistics warehousing.
