Agri Hub

Agri Hub is a planned urban agricultural attraction in Dubai conceived to support local food security and provide UAE farmers with a platform to sell produce directly. The farm-focused destination is designed around integrated sustainability systems and is at the concept and pre-construction stage.

What this place is and where it is located

Agri Hub is an agricultural attraction and working farm designed to combine food production with visitor-facing functions. The scheme centres on sustainability, including 100 percent water recycling, bio-saline agriculture methods, green transit systems within the site and on-site zero-waste management. The hub forms part of Dubai’s broader food-security strategy and will serve as a commercial outlet for local farmers.

The attraction is planned to open in 2030, with construction scheduled to start in 2025. Concept images illustrate the initial design intent, while architectural forms, landscaping and amenities may evolve as the development progresses.

Transport and distances

The nearest Dubai Metro access is on the Red Line at station R31, approximately 8,453 metres from Agri Hub. This distance is beyond a typical comfortable walking range, making road connections, shuttle services or other local transit important for first- and last-mile access.

Nearby schools include Jumeirah English Speaking School Arabian Ranches, around 1.8 km away, and Dhruv Global School, around 1.9 km away. These distances place the site close to residential and community uses, with local amenities and educational facilities within reach.

The surrounding area includes attractions, parks, beaches, golf clubs and cinemas, placing Agri Hub within Dubai’s wider network of leisure and amenity destinations. Transport connections will develop alongside the final masterplan and supporting infrastructure.

Development, design and project timeline

Agri Hub’s design focuses on resource efficiency and circular systems. Key features include:

• 100 percent water recycling across site operations;
• Green transit systems for internal circulation, reducing dependence on private cars within the site;
• Bio-saline agriculture techniques adapted to local growing conditions;
• On-site zero-waste management to minimise material leaving the site.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025, with a target public opening in 2030. Initial renderings illustrate the proposed character of the development, including its architecture, landscaping and amenities.

Agri Hub is planned as both a production facility and an attraction, combining agricultural production and processing with farm-gate or market-style retail for local producers. Visitor facilities may include demonstration areas and educational spaces, alongside commercial farming, community use and tourism-oriented activities.

Built form and immediate context

The concept focuses on landscape-led infrastructure and low-impact facilities supporting agricultural operations and visitor flows. Growing systems are integrated with circulation routes and waste- and water-management infrastructure rather than large-scale high-rise development.

Agri Hub belongs to a growing category of urban-farm projects that bring together production plots, controlled-environment agriculture and public-facing spaces.

Who the Agri Hub is aimed at

Agri Hub is designed for several overlapping groups:

• Local farmers and agricultural producers seeking local outlets to sell produce directly to consumers or participate in shared processing and distribution facilities;
• Food-security planners looking for demonstration projects in sustainable water use, saline-tolerant farming and circular waste systems;
• Visitors, school groups and practitioners interested in urban agriculture, site-based education and green technologies;
• Operators and service providers able to run farm retail, markets, visitor programmes and logistics within an agricultural-hub setting.

Its emphasis on resource efficiency and demonstration technologies makes the project both a commercial farm and retail destination, as well as a setting for education and testing.
