Dubai CommerCity is a district of Dubai, 658 m from Emirates Metro Station.
Dubai CommerCity is a purpose-built e‑commerce free zone located in the Umm Ramool area of Dubai. Developed by the Dubai Airport Freezone Authority (Dafza) as an AED3.2 billion project, the site is intended to attract companies focused on online retail, logistics and regional headquarters functions for e‑commerce operators.
CommerCity is a specialised freezone established to serve e‑commerce and logistics activities across the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Announced in 2017 and launched in phases, the development is being delivered as a multi‑stage campus with a planned total built area of 2.1 million sq ft. The first phase, opened in April 2021, comprises about 470,000 sq ft and includes a business cluster with more than 320,000 sq ft of office space plus roughly 145,000 sq ft of logistics units and multi‑client warehouses.
The site address places Dubai CommerCity in Umm Ramool within the Deira area of Dubai. Its geographic coordinates are approximately 25.235631°N, 55.367983°E. The campus is positioned close to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and within easy reach of Dubai’s central business and retail districts.
CommerCity is connected by both road and public transport. The nearest Dubai Metro station on the Red Line carries station code R12 and lies about 658 metres from the site; the station is walkable from the campus perimeter.
Published sources note typical drive times from CommerCity such as around 18 minutes to Dubai Mall, roughly 29 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, 28 minutes to Burj Al Arab and approximately 33 minutes to The Walk at JBR; driving time to DXB has been cited as about nine minutes and to Al Maktoum International Airport as around 47 minutes, subject to traffic conditions.
The campus is designed around two principal product types: office accommodation and logistics/warehouse space. The logistics cluster within the first phase is structured as multi‑client warehouses and units and is operated by established logistics providers. Operators involved with the logistics cluster include Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and DHL, who manage logistics facilities on the site.
Commercial services at CommerCity are tailored to the needs of e‑commerce operators. Partnerships announced for the development include an agreement with an e‑commerce software provider and with a digital consultancy to deliver bundled e‑commerce services. Storage solutions on site are offered on a flexible, pay‑as‑you‑grow basis to allow tenants to scale capacity in line with trading volumes.
As of the first phase opening in April 2021, more than half of the warehouse space had been leased. The overall masterplan envisages further expansion up to the stated 2.1 million sq ft, delivered in subsequent stages according to demand and development timelines set by the freezone authority.
Dubai CommerCity is suited to companies whose core activities relate to e‑commerce, fulfilment, cross‑border trade and regional distribution. Typical users include third‑party logistics operators, online retailers requiring combination office and warehousing space, and service providers to the e‑commerce ecosystem (platform providers, digital agencies and logistics partners).
Its proximity to Dubai International Airport makes it convenient for businesses that require fast air connectivity for inbound and outbound shipments. The combination of dedicated logistics facilities and office clusters also suits firms seeking on‑site administrative space for regional management and customer service centres.
There are established schools and other urban services in the surrounding area: published information identifies Al Mawakeb School Al Garhoud and Universal American School as nearby educational options at distances under 1.5 km from the campus perimeter.
