Dubai Refreshment is selling its Al Quoz 1 plot to Al Futtaim Private Company for a total of AED252 million ($68.6 million) in an all-cash transaction.
The sale was executed on Monday, June 26, and reported by Dubai Refreshment in a filing at the Dubai Financial Market (DFM). It was approved by the shareholders in the general assembly held on June 14.
Dubai Refreshment used the renowned Al Quoz 1 land as its manufacturing, warehouse, and headquarters for all Pepsi-related products, including Lays and Aquafina. The Al Quoz property was left vacant as a result of the company moving its activities to a new location in Dubai Investment Park II.

The transaction took place on Monday, June 26, and Dubai Refreshment filed a report at the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) detailing it. At the general meeting on June 14, the shareholders gave their approval.
