Amazon has closed a deal on a new warehouse on the East Side and could spend $61 million renovating it.
The Seattle-based delivery and tech giant announced that it had closed a deal for a 560,000-square-foot warehouse on Rosillo Creek Boulevard, near Interstate 10 and roughly a mile from several other Amazon facilities.
The property is valued at $38 million, according to the Bexar County Appraisal District, and was owned by CT, a business unit of Wolters Kluwer, itself a global company focused on information, professional and financial services.
The land is zoned for industrial use.
The renovation will focus on the building’s interior, according to records from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and is being designed by Stantec Architecture.
“I can confirm we have purchased this property with the intent of opening an operations facility in the area. A lot of work is going into getting the facility operational,” said Allie Payne, an Amazon spokesperson, in an email.
Payne added that Amazon has invested more than $80 billion in Texas projects since 2010.
She said it was too early to discuss hiring or employment at the facility.
Amazon’s purchase along Rosillo Creek Boulevard comes several years after the company rapidly expanded in San Antonio. Between 2020 and 2022, Amazon announced six new facilities in Bexar County, including delivery stations and fulfillment centers. At the time, Amazon said those facilities created around 2,000 new jobs.
That was part of a wider trend. Other companies built out logistics infrastructure in San Antonio, which is located on both the Interstate 35 and I-10 corridors, to meet shipping and last-mile delivery needs.
