The city issued a construction permit March 4 for Amazon.com’s heavy bulk freight delivery station in West Jacksonville.
It will be the Seattle-based online retailer’s sixth Jacksonville delivery facility.
Rick J. Wilson & Associates Inc. of Altamonte Springs will remodel the 11,520-square-foot warehouse at 2780 Lloyd Road at a project cost of $1.4 million.
The city approved a permit for “AMXL HJX1.”
AMXL is a term Amazon uses for its delivery stations that deliver heavy bulk freight goods, described as 60 to 300 pounds. HJX1 is a location identifier.
Plans show the project “consists of an online retailer moving into an existing space with no change of use or occupancy.”
“Operations consist of workers off-loading from larger trucks and loading onto smaller box trucks,” plans say.
The Lloyd Road truck terminal has 33 dock-high loading positions. The site fronts Interstate 295. Property records show Ringsby Terminals Inc. of Denver owns the property.
Amazon operates four centers in Jacksonville and submitted plans Dec. 11 for a fifth. That center would be an e-commerce delivery center in the former Kmart at 4645 Blanding Blvd. in Westside.
Amazon’s four major Jacksonville centers are fulfillment centers at 13333 103rd St. in AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center in West Jacksonville and at 12900 Pecan Park Road in Northwest Jacksonville; a sortation center in Westside Industrial Park; and a delivery station in Alta Lakes Commerce Center in North Jacksonville.
