Amazon's Last-Mile Hub: Bringing 600 Jobs to South San Jose
"Amazon will be building a new distribution center at the corner of South Seventh Street and East Alma Avenue. The company acquired the 17.8-acre site five years ago for $59.3 million, and now is moving forward to replace six existing industrial buildings with a modern facility. This last-mile e-commerce hub totals 106,800 square feet, including 8,700 square feet of office space and 36,600 square feet for staging and loading, designed to handle efficient package sorting and dispatch."
"Operations run 24 hours a day, with deliveries scheduled between 10 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. to serve customers in San Jose and surrounding spots like Campbell, Los Gatos, Scotts Valley, and Santa Cruz. Up to 52 truck trips daily bring items to the site, where workers prepare them for final delivery via vans. This setup strengthens local logistics, making faster shipments a reality for the community."
A new 106,800-square-foot last-mile distribution center will be built at South Seventh Street and East Alma Avenue on a previously acquired 17.8-acre site. Six existing industrial buildings will be replaced to create a modern facility with 8,700 square feet of office space and 36,600 square feet for staging and loading to support efficient package sorting and dispatch. Operations will run 24 hours daily, with deliveries from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., serving San Jose and nearby communities with up to 52 inbound truck trips per day. The project creates 600 jobs, limits onsite staffing to 400 at once, and follows a timeline from demolition in July 2026 to full completion in December 2027.
