TUCSON, ARIZONA – An affiliate of Amazon, Amazon.com Services, purchased 51 acres across from its current Fulfillment Center at 6701 South Kolb for $7.5 million ($146,000 per acre). A portion of Block 3 in Century Park, the property will be used for construction of an approximate 100,000+ square-foot Delivery Station.
Amazon bought its current site in 2018 for its 1.2 million-square-foot building at 6701 S Kolb Road also in Century Park, with 63 loading docks, nearly 400 transport trailer parking spaces, along with 2,500 standard parking spaces, on the site. Amazon requested this location be annexed into the City of Tucson. Amazon’s fulfillment center brought 1,500 full-time jobs.
