Activities Allowed by the Free Zone

• Almost any activity is permitted by HFZ as long as the activity is environmentally friendly and in accordance with local rules. Though it is preferred, companies do not have to add value to their products. Investors can ship goods in and out of HFZ without necessarily adding any value at all.

Facilities for lease (Units & Prices)

• Pre-built warehouses, factories and offices are available for investors to take advantage of, and for those who require tailor-made facilities there are industrial plots available for lease. Staff accommodation is also available onsite with a choice of senior or junior suites.

Land for lease – Tailor made development

• The strategic plan for future development of HFZ’s prime property envisions the building of a range of industrial plots ranging in size from 5,000 sq. m. and upwards in multiples of 5,000 sq. m. These plots can be developed by investors to suit their exact requirements, and up to 60% of the land that is leased can be developed.

Land Leasing Terms:

• Although the minimum lease term is five years, investors do have the option of leasing their plot of land for a maximum of 25 years, and then later renewing the same lease for a further 25 years. Lease rates are normally fixed for the first 5 years with a rent review at the end of this period.

Warehouses, Factories and Office Units

• HFZ’s customer-oriented approach allows customers the freedom to develop their factories, office infrastructure, warehouses, and other buildings in a custom fit manner. However, for those investors who require ready-made, immediately available warehousing space, HFZ provides the investor with a choice of pre-built buildings in sizes of 614 m2, 416 m2 and 275 m2
