Syracuse isn’t the only mid-sized American city slated to get an enormous warehouse that will likely end up being an Amazon distribution center.
Plans for a multimillion-square-foot facility were recently announced outside Austin, Texas. Local reports say the building will ultimately be used by Amazon.
The company is rapidly expanding its footprint around the country.
Yet few warehouses rival the plans for the ones planned for Clay, outside Syracuse, and Pflugerville, a suburb north of Austin. Developers for both projects say the floor space in each of the buildings will total about 3.8 million square feet. That would make the facilities tied for the second-largest warehouse in the world.
At the Clay building, those nearly 3.8 million square feet would be spread out among five floors, located on 111 acres of property. In Texas, the proposed facility would be four and half floors, situated on a 94-acre property.
Aside from space, there are other similarities between the two projects.
Just as the Clay warehouse is being developed by a company other than Amazon, Trammell Crow, the Texas warehouse is under development by Seefried Industrial Properties. Both companies have ties to and a history of working with Amazon.
Both warehouses would be conveniently located in a suburb of a major city, less than one mile from a busy interstate. Each facility is expected to create a lot of jobs.
Both projects, in Texas and Central New York, recently cleared zoning hurdles with local municipalities.
Both are also cloaked in secrecy, with Amazon and government officials telling reporters any comment on the eventual tenants at the buildings would be “speculative" -- a term that might sound familiar to anyone following Amazon’s expansion.
