Why cold storage

A market that can't build fast enough

The UAE sources more than 80% of its food from abroad, warehouse space is close to full, and the cold storage that exists is largely retrofitted rather than purpose-built.

The shortfall

Demand is outrunning supply

Hover or tap to read more

CBRE estimates the UAE needs at least 125,000 sqm of additional cold storage, with a further 80,000 sqm of demand added every year. Today's inventory is retrofitted space, not purpose-built.

FROSTORE closes that gap by redeveloping existing industrial assets into purpose-engineered chilled and frozen facilities.
