Mohebi Logistics will invest up to $95.2m to build its new HQ and logistics facility in Dubai Logistics City (DLC) at Dubai World Central (DWC).

The 140km² DWC is part of the Dubai government’s overall strategy to enhance the emirate’s transport and logistics services, and to capitalise on its geographical location to strengthen its reputation as an international trading and commercial hub.

H.H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman, Dubai Aviation City Corporation, and Mohammed Mohebi, Mohebi Logistics CEO, signed the lease agreement for the 1.5 million square feet plot.

The Emirati company now joins the ranks of Aramex, Kuehne + Nagel, Panalpina, Hellmann Caliper, INL, RSA Logistics and other major industry players taking advantage of DWC’s infrastructure, multi-modal transport accessibility, dedicated services and facilities.

Mohebi said: “We are proud and excited at the prospect of becoming a strategic partner of DWC and a key contributor to Dubai’s continued economic growth.
