"The proposed development site is a short distance from the city's downtown. This proposal has emerged about five years after Amazon bought an industrial site at the corner of South Seventh Street and East Alma Avenue, where the e-commerce giant intends to develop the distribution hub. 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."
"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. The tech titan aims to develop a brand-new distribution hub that would total 106,800 square feet, which will include about 8,700 square feet of offices. When complete, the development site would also contain about 36,600 square feet of external staging and loading areas."
Amazon will develop a last-mile e-commerce distribution hub at 1605 S. Seventh St. in San Jose on a 17.8-acre site it purchased in 2020 for $59.3 million. Six existing industrial buildings, including a 279,000-square-foot structure, would be demolished to make way for a new 106,800-square-foot facility with about 8,700 square feet of offices and roughly 36,600 square feet of external staging and loading areas. Seattle-based Amazon expects to hire 600 people for the site, with a maximum of 400 employees on-site at any one time. City planners have circulated an environmental impact report for the project.
