In response to the growing demand for free zone space, Abu Dhabi Ports introduced the Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi (KIZAD) free zone in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. KIZAD is Abu Dhabi's first integrated trade, logistics, industrial and free zone, offering outstanding market access, lower operating costs, and greater ease of doing business in the region and globally.
With a gross area of 100 square kilometres, KIZAD's free zone is now the largest in the Middle East and has already attracted more than $1 billion in FDI from China alone with KIZAD's total investment at more than Dh65 billion to date.
The free zone encompasses a wide portfolio of investment sectors, including aluminium, automotive, engineered metals, port logistics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, polymer converting and other industries that benefit from the strategic integration with Khalifa Port. KIZAD's free zone offers a flexible master plan that will accommodate more industries in the future, from a land use perspective.
Within the free zone territories allocated, KIZAD is master-planning a Business Park, as well as District and Local Centres. KIZAD Business Park will offer multiple real estate opportunities and welcomes interested suppliers to serve the needs of over 50,000 customers.
As part of KIZAD's next phase of development, the free zone will feature heavy, light and logistics industries, commercial complexes, big-box retail stores, town centre and mixed-use developments, as well as residential developments.
KIZAD, as an industrial and free zone hub, provides excellent access to markets through a world-class transportation infrastructure with multimodal connectivity by road, ports, air and future rail networks.
KIZAD is intrinsically linked to Khalifa Port; one of the world's most advanced deep-sea ports and the region's first semi-automated port. The strategic joint port and free zone value proposition assumes a major role in the region's manufacturing and logistics sectors.
Through its free zone and industrial zone offerings, KIZAD has attracted more than 200 national and international investors with over 60 per cent of the land in Phase 1 already leased.
