Radius Group And Knight Frank Mena Unveil Premier Its First Logistics Project In Dubai
Radius Group, an international developer of class A warehouse and industrial real estate, has partnered with Knight Frank Mena to launch its premier project, Radius City Logistics, in Dubai Investments Park 2 (DIP II). Knight Frank Mena will serve as the exclusive leasing and marketing consultant for this project.
The collaboration with Knight Frank Mena marks a significant milestone in the region's industrial sector. Radius has secured a 5.2-hectare site for the development.
Strategically located in DIP II, a mixed-use development spanning 2,300 hectares, Radius City Logistics benefits from excellent infrastructure and accessibility. The site is well-connected with major roads such as Expo Road (E77) and federal highways E11, E311, and E611 nearby. This prime location allows for convenient travel times: 15 minutes to Jebel Ali Sea Port, 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, and 40 minutes to Downtown Dubai.
Construction is scheduled to begin next month with commissioning and tenant access expected by August 2025. This will be the largest speculatively built logistics project in DIP after completion.
According to Knight Frank Mena's research, DIP is the second most sought-after industrial rental location after Al Quoz in Dubai based on highest rents per square foot. There is also a very low supply of stock in the DIP area.
Radius City Logistics will be the first class A speculative temperature-controlled facility in the UAE, developed to international institutional standards. The facility will comprise four independent blocks with separate fitted-out entrance groups and office premises, suitable for multi-tenant or single-tenant use in a contiguous space.
The design includes optimal depth blocks of 72m for cross-dock operations, a clear height of 12m, and a column grid of 12x24m. This ensures efficient racking and storage ratios. The building will be designed and certified to UAE sustainability and green development standards.
The project introduces global standards known for serving multinational corporations such as Decathlon, Kimberly Clark, Alibaba Group, and John Deere. It features a unique column grid standard of 12x24m for international quality warehouses—a first for speculatively built projects in the UAE. At 33,000 sq m, it is comparable to major developments like those for Noon and Amazon in Dubai South.
On its debut venture, Radius Founder & CEO David Simons said: "We are delighted to announce our first project in Dubai and to be strategically located in Dubai Investments Park. The location of the future facility is at the intersection of not only the traditional existing Dubai markets but also ideally located for the growth of Dubai through 2030."
Knight Frank Mena's Industrial & Logistics team is facilitating the complete acquisition process. They are also handling development and leasing upon completion for Radius to ensure the project meets high market standards today.
Andrew Love, Regional Partner – Head of Capital Markets & Occupier/Landlord Strategy and Solutions at MENA said: "Having acquired this site for Radius, we are absolutely delighted to be retained as their exclusive leasing broker. This will be the largest speculatively built logistics project in DIP and will be highly sought after given the current real estate supply constraints within DIP."
"The Radius signature specification and quality will be a great addition to the logistics infrastructure in Dubai," added Simons.
