The primary customer base comprises of General Trading License (GTL) customers.


The Phase 1 building provides several amenities to customers, such as a central reception, conference rooms, male and female prayer room, male and female toilets, integrated IT/telecom coverage, pantry, cleaning and maintenance. Also in the pipeline are additional facilities like a cafeteria, restaurant, Bank ATM and CDM, and Sanad services to add to customer convenience. The total number of offices upon completion of all four phases is forecasted to be over 800.


Commenting on the new project, Mark said, “Sohar Freezone has witnessed immense growth over the past decade and we are continuously developing it to create more investment opportunities. As a fully integrated complex, we seek to provide our customers with the opportunity to benefit from both the Port and the Freezone, since they are located in close proximity to one another. With the inauguration of the new building, it will amplify trade inflow as well as potential business, which in turn will further enhance the overall growth and development at Sohar .”
