Warehouses for rent in Dubai

Dubai's industrial leasing market in mid-2026 averages AED 34 per sq ft per year for warehouse space, up 12.4% year on year, with prime logistics vacancy at 3.1%. Rents range from AED 27 per sq ft in Dubai South Logistics District to AED 42 per sq ft in Al Quoz, the closest industrial area to the city core. JAFZA sits at AED 33, Dubai Investments Park at AED 31, Dubai Industrial City at AED 29 and Ras Al Khor at AED 38. The spread reflects location economics: proximity to Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport and the E311 and E611 corridors drives pricing more than build quality.

Free zone stock in JAFZA and the Dubai South Logistics District suits import-export traders, 3PL operators and e-commerce fulfilment businesses that need customs-bonded status under DP World or Dubai South Authority. Mainland areas such as Al Quoz, DIP and Ras Al Khor serve last-mile distribution, workshops and light manufacturing licensed through the Department of Economy and Tourism, with Dubai Civil Defence approval required on fit-out. Typical Grade A units offer 9 to 12 m clear height, sprinkler systems and 100 to 400 kVA of connected power.
