The 72,000-square-foot Baltimore delivery station is at 2100 Van Deman St., along Colgate Creek in the Saint Helena neighborhood and within half a mile of an Amazon fulfillment center.<\/p>\n

The delivery station in Hanover, Md., is at 7226 Preston Gateway Drive and totals 194,000 square feet.<\/p>\n

In Hampton Roads, the Amazon Career Center, at 1989 S. Military Highway in Chesapeake, Va., will serve as a hiring and orientation hub for the company\u2019s operations facilities in Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hampton and Virginia Beach.<\/p>\n

The two delivery stations in the Hampton Roads area are a 165,000-square-foot facility at 1400 Sewells Point Road in Norfolk, Va., and a 111,600-square-foot facility at 223 W. Mercury Blvd. in Hampton, Va.<\/p>\n

An Amazon spokesperson told Commercial Property Executive<\/em> that the Hanover facility is new construction and the others were existing properties. In all, the four new delivery stations total more than 500,000 square feet.<\/p>\n

Amazon explains that its delivery stations handle the last mile of its order process and help speed up deliveries for customers. Packages are shipped to a delivery station from neighboring Amazon Fulfillment and Sortation Centers, loaded into delivery vehicles and delivered to customers.<\/p>\n

Big\u2014and bigger<\/h2>\n

Amazon is, of course, well known in recent years for a massive development program of super-sized distribution facilities.<\/p>\n

A March survey of the nation\u2019s 10 largest industrial projects under construction<\/a>, based on CommercialEdge data, found that nine were affiliated with Amazon. (The sole exception was Tesla\u2019s 4 million-square-foot Giga Texas vehicle-assembly facility in Austin).<\/p>\n

Among the nine was a $200 million, 3.8 million-square-foot multi-story processing facility in Suffolk, Va.\u2014in the Hampton Roads region. The robotics-assisted fulfillment center will be the state\u2019s largest industrial building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
