After about four years of planning and construction, the $250 million Amazon warehouse and distribution center located along CR 172 in Round Rock is operational.

Planning and Development Services Director Brad Dushkin confirmed May 15 that the facility was issued a temporary certificate of occupancy May 13. The facility was previously set to open in late April, but rain delayed the finish out of CR 172 road improvements required before the building could be occupied.
The city will give the facility a full certificate of occupancy once some minor aspects of remaining improvements are completed, he said.
The warehouse and distribution center alone is estimated to bring roughly 150 to 200 jobs to the city, according to Jessica Breaux, Amazon’s senior manager of economic development.

About the project
Amazon first filed permits for the project with the city of Round Rock in October 2021, detailing plans for a 120-foot-tall distribution center and warehouse to serve the area. The property was annexed into the city limits in 2024. New proposals approved at that time include plans for a potential data center and substation.
