First UAE property investment realised in collaboration with JINGDONG Property
JD.com, also known as JINGDONG, has strengthened its presence in the region with the launch of a new warehouse in Dubai. Officially inaugurated on 8 August, the facility represents JD.com’s first asset investment in the UAE through JINGDONG Property and is operated by JINGDONG Logistics.
The JAFZA-based warehouse spans more than 10,000 square metres, expanding the company’s UAE network to six logistics facilities. Featuring a digital operations system with real-time inventory oversight, the site ensures efficiency and full traceability. It is already managing nearly one million units for a prominent electronics client and consistently achieves outbound accuracy levels above 99.9%.
The warehouse operates on JoyLogistics’ integrated supply chain platform, which enhances space management and stock control. This tailored solution enables customers to better respond to fluctuating seasonal demand and complex product categories.
This new warehouse is the next step of JD.com’s strategy to build its logistics business across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, enhancing inter-market movement and operational synergies. JINGDONG Property is actively scaling its presence in the region, including plans for a 70,000 sqm smart logistics hub in Abu Dhabi in partnership with Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone (ADAFZ). JoyLogistics offers end-to-end logistics services, integrating international freight (sea, air, express) with last-mile delivery and bonded warehousing, supporting seamless B2B and B2C operations in the Middle East.
Feng Guo, General Manager of Middle East, JD.com, said: “The investment marks a strategic milestone in our long-term investment and growth in the Middle East, enhancing the existing operational footprint to support greater regional scalability and trade. We are investing not just in physical infrastructure, but in the long-term digital transformation of the region’s logistics landscape, empowering cross-border trade and supply chain transformation.”
Charlie Peng, Head of Middle East at JINGDONG Logistics, said: “JD.com brings nearly two decades of global supply chain experience. We are renowned for speedy, trustworthy and tech-driven solutions, with a strong track record in building smart logistics ecosystems across e-commerce, electronics, FMCG, apparel, and automotive sectors. Dubai’s location at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe, combined with JAFZA’s status as a tax-free zone, makes our warehouses an ideal choice to serve multinational corporations seeking to expand or optimize their presence in the Middle East and beyond.”
