Dubai, UAE - Dubai CommerCity is preparing to deliver the second phase of its expansion between the first quarter of 2027 and the fourth quarter of 2028, with total investment exceeding $490 million (AED 1.8 billion).
The expansion will add more than 91,000 sqm of new office, retail and logistics space across the free zone’s Business Cluster, Logistics Cluster and Social Cluster.
Dubai CommerCity, a joint venture between the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority and Wasl Group, said the programme follows strong demand across its existing facilities, with occupancy reaching nearly 96% across office, logistics and retail space.
New office and retail space
The Business Cluster and Social Cluster will add a combined 86,000 sqm of new space.
The Business Cluster will include six additional office buildings offering shell-and-core units, fully fitted offices and flexible plug-and-play workspaces.
Delivery is planned in two phases, with the first starting in the first quarter of 2027 and the second in the first quarter of 2028.
The Social Cluster will add retail, restaurant, café and service space designed to support the wider business community operating within Dubai CommerCity.
New vertical logistics facility
The Logistics Cluster will include The Hive, a 5,600 sqm facility designed around a vertical logistics model.
The development will feature 181 flexible units starting from 5 sqm, as well as 24/7 climate-controlled fulfilment areas, digitally managed loading zones, last-mile delivery facilities, EV charging stations and renewable energy systems.
The facility has also been designed in line with sustainability standards aligned with LEED certification requirements.
H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of DIEZ, said the expansion reflects growing investor confidence in Dubai and supports the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33.
Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Executive Chairman of DIEZ and Chairman of the Board of Dubai CommerCity, said the second phase would strengthen Dubai’s position as a global hub for digital commerce and technology while responding to increasing business demand.
Hesham Abdulla Al Qassim, Vice Chairman and Group CEO of Wasl Group, said the development would provide the infrastructure and business environment required for companies in digital commerce, technology and logistics to establish and expand their operations in Dubai.
Dubai CommerCity said operating activity has also continued to grow, with e-commerce parcel volumes increasing by 152% over the past year and cargo processed through the DCC Way transit platform rising by 14% during 2025.
