Amazon eyeing Sunset Park’s Industry City
Amazon is reportedly in search of a Brooklyn location and is considering Sunset Park’s Industry City, after pulling out from its bid for a Queens headquarters amid intense political criticism earlier this year.
The online retailer is evaluating potential Brooklyn locations for a logistics facility (not the same thing as the “HQ2” that had been planned for Long Island City), from which it could rapidly deliver orders to customers, Crain’s reported. Industry City’s 5.27 million-square-foot campus has waterfront access and sits in the shadow of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
A spokesperson for Amazon told the Brooklyn Eagle that there is no deal with Industry City, but that Amazon is constantly evaluating new real estate opportunities.
