Salalah Free Zone offers a practical range of premises for companies at different stages: ready-to-use offices, warehouses, industrial units and long-term land leases for larger projects.

The best facility is the one that matches the activity, cargo flow, utilities, staffing and expansion plan. This makes the premises decision part of the operating model from the beginning.

For the overall Salalah setup framework, see the Salalah Free Zone Investor Guide.

Facility planning principle: choose space around the real operation—people, products, machinery, utilities, loading, safety and future growth.

1. Current facility options in Salalah Free Zone

Facility	Best fit	Current SFZ offer
Office	Commercial, management, coordination and service teams.	Furnished offices, unfurnished spaces and Business Support Units at SFZ HQ.

Industrial unit	Light manufacturing, assembly, packing and processing.	Ready-built industrial facilities and tailored solutions.
Land	Custom factories, larger logistics, chemicals, petrochemicals and utility-intensive projects.	Long-term lease, project-based allocation and cluster planning.

2. Offices and Business Support Units

SFZ currently offers furnished offices, customizable unfurnished spaces and Business Support Units at its headquarters. Current office services include secured workstation access, internet and telecom connectivity, meeting facilities, parking, reception and facility support.

This model gives office-led companies a direct route to establish a professional operating base while keeping room for later expansion into a larger office or operational facility.

Office planning point	What to define
Team size	Initial staff and expected growth.
Client activity	Meeting, coordination and commercial use.
IT requirement	Connectivity, security and remote systems.
Storage	Whether samples, documents or inventory need additional space.
Expansion	Timing for moving into a larger office, warehouse or industrial unit.

3. Warehouses and Mazaya facilities

SFZ’s current Mazaya warehouse material describes purpose-built units for storage and light manufacturing. Features include office space, loading docks for containers and trucks, forklift ramps, fire alarm and firefighting systems, utility infrastructure and 24-hour zone security.

The published Mazaya material also shows an 8-metre warehouse height and industrial flooring designed for operational use. The live unit, size and commercial terms are confirmed through SFZ at quotation stage.

Warehouse need	Planning focus
General storage	Racking, floor loading, truck access and inventory flow.
Regional distribution	Container handling, dispatch area and customs process.
Cold-chain use	Temperature design, insulation, monitoring and product controls.
Light manufacturing	Power, layout, ventilation, process equipment and approvals.
High-value goods	Security, insurance, access control and monitoring.

4. Ready-built industrial units

Ready-built industrial units can support projects that want a faster implementation route than developing a complete facility from raw land. The investor can focus on fit-out, machinery, utilities and operating approvals around an existing shell.

The activity and process define the technical fit. Power demand, water, ventilation, wastewater, loading, fire systems and environmental requirements are mapped before commitment.

5. Industrial land and long-term lease

SFZ’s current FAQ states that land is provided through long-term lease agreements, with periods of up to 30 years and renewal options. Land allocation considers the nature and scale of the project, utility requirements and availability within designated clusters.

This structure suits investors who need custom plant layouts, large yards, specialised utilities or long-term expansion space.

Land-project input	Why SFZ reviews it
Activity and process	Determines cluster and technical suitability.
Requested area	Matches the production, storage and expansion footprint.
Power / water / gas	Connects the project to available infrastructure.
Wastewater / environment	Supports environmental and utility planning.
Cargo flow	Links the site to port, road and logistics requirements.
Construction timeline	Aligns land allocation with project implementation.

6. Utility infrastructure

SFZ currently coordinates utility connections through its One-Stop Shop. Electricity is supplied through Dhofar Power Company, water services are coordinated through the relevant Dhofar water authority, and telecom services are available from national providers.

SFZ’s current land and facility material also highlights gas networks, treated water, sewage infrastructure and desalination support for industrial projects.

Utility	Project input
Electricity	Connected load, peak demand and machinery profile.
Water	Domestic and process water demand.
Wastewater	Volume, quality and treatment needs.
Gas	Industrial gas requirement and allocation process.
Telecom	Fiber, redundancy and operational systems.
Fire water	Facility and Civil Defence design requirements.

7. Liquid-bulk infrastructure

SFZ’s current land information highlights a 4.5 km liquid-bulk transportation corridor connecting the terminal area with customer plots. This creates a specialised infrastructure option for chemicals, petrochemicals and related industrial projects.

Project design aligns the plot, product, storage system, safety standards, pipeline connection and environmental approvals around the actual cargo profile.

8. Facility choice by business model

Business model	Facility direction
Commercial office	Office or BSS.
Importer / re-export trader	Warehouse with customs and cargo planning.
Regional distributor	Warehouse plus dispatch and road-access planning.
Food / pharma operator	Controlled warehouse or industrial unit with product-specific systems.
