This spike in popularity has made DIP a major torchbearer in the Middle East for manufacturing, offering businesses in the plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, oil and gas, construction and aluminium industries a platform to do business both in the GCC and beyond.
The 2,300-hectare development now houses 4,500 companies and the 20 per cent rise in sub-tenant uptake at the beginning of 2015 is testament to DIP's reputation for excellence, DIP General Manager Omar Al Mesmar stated.
"Over the last 15 years, Dubai Investments Park’s strategy has centred on supporting UAE’s GDP by attracting big businesses across a wide array of sectors to its industrial park. Apart from world-class logistics, DIP offers a business-friendly environment and strategic location – both for local consumption and access to key transit points in order to cater to the export markets," he said.
DIP offers its 90,000 working residents more than just a business hub with waste management, recycling, A-star telecommunications and excellent transport facilities. It also features six schools, three hotels and domestic dwellings.
