National home furnishings retailer HomeGoods has purchased 100 acres of undeveloped property near Tucson International Airport, and confirmed it plans to open a distribution center on the site.
Massachusetts-based TJX Companies, which owns HomeGoods, paid $9,531,270 to buy five parcels on the 3600 block of East Corona Road near South Alvernon Way, according to documents filed with the Pima County Recorder’s Office.
“The company is planning to build an approximately 800,000 square-foot distribution center on the site to help service the Company’s growing network of HomeGoods stores in the Southwest and Western parts of the U.S.,” according to a news release from Doreen Thompson, vice president of communications for TJX Companies.
Thompson could not be reached for further comment on Wednesday.
