Dubai’s warehousing and industrial rental rates surge 13% YoY

According to the latest UAE Industrial Market 2024 analysis by Cushman and Wakefield Core, areas including Dubai Investments Park and Dubai Industrial City witnessed the highest rental increases of 25 % and 21 %, respectively.

Abu Dhabi’s market has also seen a steady yet moderate rise in rental rates, particularly in areas such as Mussafah and the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi, averaging a 5 %year-on-year surge across the city.

This comes as a significant imbalance exists between demand and supply as the requirement for warehousing and industrial facilities has consistently outstripped availability, leading to a steady absorption level and higher rental rates.

Various factors, including the growth of e-commerce and logistics sectors, the expansion of oil and gas companies, and the entry of new firms into the market, have fueled demand.

This also aligns with the projection that the UAE residential real estate market will register a compound annual growth rate of more than 8 % during the forecast period, 2022-2027, according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence.

“The potential for strong returns and the opportunity to meet the increasing demand for high-quality warehousing and industrial spaces are key factors attracting institutional investors and non-industrial developers to the industrial sector,” Head of Research and Consultancy at Cushman and Wakefield Core Prathyusha Gurrapu said.

“As warehousing and industrial assets continue to offer attractive yields and stable demand, more developers and investors are recognizing the value in diversifying their portfolios to include warehousing and industrial facilities,” Gurrapu added.
