Amazon.com Inc.’s new facility planned at AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center could create about 260 jobs, according to a JEA document.
The 278,237-square-foot facility is designed on Parcel F at southwest Waterworks Street and POW-MIA Memorial Parkway in the West Jacksonville business park.
It is the 10th identified Amazon facility in Northeast Florida.
Plans don’t specify what the online retailer’s facility will do, but the project will have 84 loading bays, which shows it will do what Amazon does – take in and ship out products.
The job and loading bay numbers are in an Aug. 31 JEA letter to civil engineer Prosser Inc. responding to a request to determine the availability of utility service.
As reported, the city is reviewing a permit application and plans for the project called JAX9, a code name used by the Seattle-based online retailer. It is identified as Amazon.
The construction cost is $40.4 million.
Dallas-based Hillwood, the city’s master developer at Cecil Commerce Center, intends to develop the project on 37.5 acres at 13450 Waterworks St.
Hillwood Senior Vice President Dan Tatsch had no comment.
The Conlan Co. is the contractor for the single-story warehouse building with an office area and break room. HPA Inc. of Irvine, California, is the architect.
Plans show 261,321 square feet of warehouse space and 16,916 square feet of office space, comprising offices, open office area, training, conference, security, break room, employee lockers and related space.
Amazon operates large fulfillment centers, generally about 1 million square feet, as well as sortation and delivery centers that are smaller.
Amazon already operates a 1 million-square-foot fulfillment center at AllianceFlorida.
Amazon’s two area fulfillment centers are JAX2 at Pecan Park Road in Northwest Jacksonville and JAX3 in Cecil Commerce Center; the JAX5 Westside sortation center; and the AMXL HJX1 facility in Westside to handle heavy bulk freight.
The JAX7 almost 1.1 million-square-foot fulfillment facility is under construction in Imeson Park.
Near that, the DJX3 package delivery hub is being built-out in Imeson International Industrial Park.
Amazon operates last-mile delivery centers with similar designations. The Cabot Commerce Circle facility in North Jacksonville is DJX1 and the Blanding Boulevard site under development in West Jacksonville is DJX2.
Another, DJX6, is planned in St. Johns County.
