Warehousing 23 purpose the investor deems, like an office, storage area or for front desk operations," Al Hazzaa said. As for the accommodation of labourers and employees within the industrial city, Al Hazzaa related that, "25 per cent of the project is allocated to build housing complexes that cater to the needs of labourers and employees in different sectors. The housing facilities include health care centres, convenient shopping stores, and other requirements for the community." "Emirates Industrial City is a stand-alone city. Our master plan allocates areas for landscaping and recreation to offer an attractive and healthy working environment," Al Hazzaa continued. Terms and considerations The warehousing project is marketed mainly to logistics, shipping, and cargo operators due to the location of the project, explained Al Hazzaa, but promptly stressed that the units are also designed to accommodate "light assembly operations, distribution centers, and even trading activities." "We envision this site to be a zone dedicated for furniture traders – where they could assemble, store, and trade at the same place. Because most furniture showroom warehouses in the UAE today include only a limited space for storage and no allocated space for assembly or trading – and that’s where we’re different," Al Hazzaa explained. On availability concerns, Al Hazzaa explained that, "the warehouses won’t be for sale, but are available on a lease basis – with one year as a minimum lease period." "The spaces are available on a short, medium and long lease terms. These considerations are provided to clients, but we encourage the medium and long term basis, so they could ease their minds when it comes to fluctuations. Another option that we are willing to consider is fixed rates for 10 to 20 years of lease," Al Hazzaa related. All set According to Al Hazzaa, the first phase of the whole EI City project will be finished "hopefully by the end of 2007; and the warehousing project, by the end of 2008." "Several investors have already pre-booked because of our flexible rates and conditions, plus we truly believe that our project is ready to go," Al Hazzaa said. However, the Director General encourages would-be investors to come visit the site, which is now accessible via the Sharjah Road, Exit 7. "Seeing is believing. And right now, some units are ready. The infrastructure is done. Come and see the possibilities our project offers." "We are currently in discussion with big groups in warehousing facilities and other industrial companies; and they look forward to when Emirates Industrial City becomes their business address, much like Jebel Ali and the others. Definitely very soon, Emirates Industrial City would be a major address on the map of UAE," Al Hazzaa concluded. Supply Chain & Logistics Group | www.sclgme.org
Dubai Maritime City set to make waves Amer Ali Project Manager, Dubai Maritime City Building on Dubai’s maritime heritage, Dubai Maritime City (DMC) is supposed to be an iconic multidimensional centre that creates a unique world class environment for the global maritime community. BY establishing a host of "Cities," Dubai has truly become a Global City in itself. It has turned the Cities into world class hubs of their respective industries. These Cities house a multitude of multinational companies and helped the emirate to attract foreign direct investment worth billions of dollars. One such prime example is Dubai Maritime City (DMC). The establishment of Dhs3-billion Dubai Maritime City has been making waves in the global maritime industry while the nascent regional maritime industry considers it a much-needed shot in the arm. Through DMC, the emirate can fully capitalise on its nautical heritage with yet another world-first conception that will not only enhance its position within the UAE but also its status as a trade link between Europe and Asia. Dubai Maritime City Project Manager Amer Ali says, "We are creating an infrastructure that is unique and focused on maritime community needs. The project will be a benchmark the size and value of the Dubai maritime cluster. We aim to be among the world’s prestigious top ten centres in terms Supply Chain & Logistics Group | www.sclgme.org
