"In 2020, the tech titan paid $59.3 million for the 17.8-acre site, documents on file with the Santa Clara County Recorder's Office show. Seattle-based Amazon expects to hire 600 people to work at the site. However, the maximum number of employees at any one time won't exceed 400 at the site, according to an environmental impact report for the proposed development."
""The project is designed and proposed as a 'last mile' e-commerce distribution center," the environmental impact report on file with the city states. City officials have begun to circulate an environmental impact report regarding the project. Six industrial buildings currently occupy the development site, the city planning documents state. All the structures would be demolished to clear the way for the project. By far, the largest of the structures is a building that totals 279,000 square feet."
Amazon plans to build a 106,800-square-foot last-mile distribution hub at 1605 South Seventh St. in San Jose on a 17.8-acre site purchased in 2020 for $59.3 million. The project would include about 8,700 square feet of offices and 36,600 square feet of external staging and loading areas. Six existing industrial buildings, including a 279,000-square-foot structure, would be demolished. Amazon expects to hire 600 workers for the site while limiting maximum onsite employees to 400. City planners have circulated an environmental impact report and conceptual drawings show the Amazon logo on the building.
