Asset Overview
Dubai's industrial segment has been the star performer since 2021, driven by Amazon, Noon, DHL, and Aramex expansions. Structural undersupply of Grade A logistics (300k+ sqft, 12m+ clear height, Class-A power) means rents have grown 25-40% since 2022. Best-in-class dry warehouses in Dubai South command AED 65-85/sqft.
Typical Lease Structure
Long 5-10 year triple-net leases with 3-5% annual escalation. Tenant covers maintenance, utilities, and property taxes/fees. Break clauses uncommon after year 3.
