Global Logistics Park is a logistics focused real estate development launched by the Bahrain-based Khaleeji Commercial Bank (KHCB). It is set to be India's first integrated logistics city project and is located on a 400 acre site in Navi Mumbai, close to the proposed new international airport and JNPT. The initial development will include the construction of warehouses, control building, maintenance depot, staff accommodation, parking areas, and various other amenities.

This investment was identified, originated and activated by DAR Capital Group. DAR has also formed a 50:50 joint venture with Opus Developers to further handle the master-planning, project management and infrastructure development components of the project.
