Dubai CommerCity commits AED 1.8bn to second-phase expansion as occupancy nears 96%

Dubai CommerCity, the region's first free zone dedicated to digital commerce, has launched a second expansion phase valued at more than AED 1.8 billion, adding over 91,000 sqm of office, retail and logistics space across its Business, Logistics and Social clusters.

A joint venture between the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) and Wasl Group, the free zone will deliver the project between Q1 2027 and Q4 2028. The Business and Social clusters account for 86,000 sqm, including six new office buildings offering shell-and-core, fully fitted and plug-and-play options. The Logistics Cluster gains The Hive, a 5,600 sqm facility with 181 units.

The investment follows occupancy of almost 96% across the free zone and a 152% rise in e-commerce parcel volumes. DIEZ and Wasl leadership tied the expansion to the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the emirate's push to become a global digital economy and trade hub.
