Amazon told Supply Chain Dive that it continues to expand its logistics network in the United States, planning to add two new facilities in New York and Texas.

In Holbrook, New York, Amazon is in the early planning stages for a 4-million-square-foot operations facility. The facility will be equipped with advanced robotics and technology, with an investment of $1 billion, and is expected to create approximately 1,000 full-time jobs.

Meanwhile, in Terrell, Texas, Amazon plans to build a delivery center to speed up customer deliveries and expand product selection. According to documents filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on July 9, the facility will have an investment of $98 million and cover approximately 1.2 million square feet. Construction of the regional delivery center is scheduled to begin on August 3, with completion expected in August 2027.

These planned facilities are the latest step in Amazon's continued expansion of its supply chain operations footprint.

Other projects under construction and planned

In August of this year, Amazon will also begin construction on a nearly 250,000-square-foot sortation warehouse in Georgetown, Texas, which will be integrated into its fulfillment network, equipped with robotic systems and multiple storage areas. Additionally, Amazon announced last year that it is developing a robotic fulfillment center of more than 3 million square feet in North Carolina.

Renovations and adjustments in parallel

Alongside expansion, Amazon is also renovating some existing sites and closing certain warehouses. In Florida, Amazon plans to temporarily close a delivery facility in Port St. Lucie and convert it into a sortable fulfillment center. Also in Florida, Amazon is converting an existing facility in Homestead into a fulfillment center, a project that also involves a temporary closure.
