Stellantis Opens 534 KSF Distribution Center in New York

Stellantis has opened a 534,000-square-foot Mopar parts distribution center in East Fishkill, N.Y., after preleasing the project last year. A joint venture between Bluewater Property Group and Affinius Capital owns the property.

The automotive company poured $64 million into the facility, investing in an automated storage and retrieval system, as well as carbon-net-zero design.

Stellantis streamlined its distribution network across the Northeast, combining the former facilities in Tappan, N.Y., and Boston into the East Fishkill warehouse. The new property may process more than 2 million shipments annually.
