Abu Dhabi: Officials from Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (Kizad) said on Wednesday that the first phase of the Kizad Logistics Park (KLP) has been completed and warehouse units are being handed over to tenants.

Kizad started handing over warehouses spread across more than one million square feet in the Kizad Logistics Park (KLP) to tenants last month itself but did not divulge tenants’ names then.

It said in a statement on Wednesday that tenants include Agility, one of the world’s leading providers of integrated logistics, and United Printing & Publishing.

Other companies include Protect Middle East, Al Sabah Foodstuff, Creative Communication, Galaxy Building Materials Trading, Back Office Logistics LLC, and Oriental Fasteners.

A total of 34 out of 41 warehouse units from phase one have already been pre-leased to a range of national and international industry players who are in the process of taking over.

Phase one of the KLP is the first of three phases, and covers an area of 46,453 square metres with warehouse units ranging from 1,133 to 12,463 square metres.

As part of a larger scheme, the KLP, when finalised, will provide an overall area of 118,965 square metres, and is expected to become a major regional logistics and warehousing centre.
