KEZAD Group has secured five new industrial and logistics projects across KEZAD Al Ain and KEZAD Al Ma'mourah, with total investments of Dhs147m ($40m), reinforcing demand for industrial infrastructure in Abu Dhabi.
The projects will span more than 84,000 sqm and are expected to generate around 500 jobs, adding to the emirate's growing industrial and logistics base, WAM reported.
Abdullah Al Hameli, chief executive officer, Economic Cities & Free Zones at 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."
The latest agreements build on strong momentum for KEZAD, which recorded 73.6 sq km of leased land in 2025, including 3.3 sq km of new leases. Industrial and manufacturing activity accounted for 67 per cent of total land leases during the year.
The Economic Cities & Free Zones cluster of AD Ports Group, which includes KEZAD, reported Dhs2.87bn in revenue in 2025, up 45 per cent year-on-year.
KEZAD also expanded its logistics infrastructure, delivering 146,000 sqm of new warehouse capacity last year while maintaining a high occupancy rate of 91 per cent, underscoring sustained demand despite additional supply.
The group continues to develop specialised industrial hubs, including Metal Park, Rahayel Auto and Mobility City, Agtech Park and Abu Dhabi Food Hub, as it broadens its offering across key sectors.
