Dubai South, the largest urban development project focused on aviation, logistics, and real estate, along with Toll Group, a global leader in logistics and the main owner of CTW-SML Logistics, has launched the construction of a new distribution center within the logistics area of Dubai South. This expansion is a significant step that reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering world-class logistics solutions across the Middle East and North Africa.
The new facility spans 25,000 square meters and features a warehouse, offices, and a mezzanine floor, accommodating up to 30,644 storage platforms. It will also include a designated area for general cargo divided into four separate chambers that can be customized to meet client needs.
