The Project

Situated in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) South Campus, this 30,000 sqm logistics warehouse was built to strengthen Danish transport and logistics firm DSV’s operational footprint in Dubai. The Grade A facility boasts high-bay storage with a maximum internal storage height of 17.3m, catering for 75,000 pallet positions. It also includes dedicated pharmaceutical areas, temperature-controlled zones, cold rooms, workshops, dangerous goods areas, large mezzanines and office spaces for staff.

This complex, high-specification logistics asset was designed to meet LEED Silver standards to align with DSV’s sustainability commitments.

Our Appointment

PMKConsult was appointed as a full-suite PMC seamlessly covering design, cost and project management following initial engagement with a contractor for this build-to-suit development. The brief was to realign the contractor's design development with DSV’s global design standards; interfacing between the contractor, developer and end user; coordinating approvals from the authorities and leading the project to completion. Our interrogation of DSV’s global warehouse design specifications ensured that the built facility suited the local climate and regulatory environment. We closely monitored progress on site and proactively managed the close-out and handover process whilst ensuring the project was delivered in line with client requirements

The Benefit

A unique challenge within the industrial sector is ensuring smooth coordination between multiple stakeholders, in this case acting as an intermediary between the developer, end user and contractor. Andrew Marshall, Business Development Manager, Lintara Properties (part of Arcapita), said: “Jim and the team were very good in terms of communication. Always taking the lead in meetings with multiple stakeholders, always very clear and diplomatic.”
