Amazon zeroing in on another huge shipping hub in southern Dallas

E-commerce giant Amazon is eyeing another huge warehouse in southern Dallas County.

The Seattle-based digital retailer is already North Texas’ largest occupier of warehouse and distribution space, with more than 12 million square feet of buildings.

The company is also the country’s biggest warehouse user, with almost 400 million square feet of space, according to some reports.

Amazon is now working on designs for another more than 1-million-square-foot distribution center south of Interstate 20. It plans to occupy the huge DalParc Logistics Center building on Telephone Road, documents filed with the state indicate.

The huge warehouse was recently completed by VanTrust Real Estate.

Construction for the Amazon shipping hub is set for completion later this year and includes “offices, break rooms, restrooms, trucker lounge, warehouse space, guardhouse, locker room and parking lot expansion,” according to planning documents.

Illinois-based Korte Design Inc., which has a long history of working on Amazon projects, is the architect for the building improvements.

An Amazon construction manager is identified for the project.

The Telephone Road building Amazon has landed in is one of three warehouses VanTrust has built in the business park.

Amazon leased a more than 900,000-square-foot building in the same industrial park in 2017.

Developer VanTrust is starting work on another 245,000-square-foot speculative warehouse in the DalParc Logistics Center development.

Amazon uses multiple distribution buildings in southern Dallas County and is also expanding its footprint east of Dallas and north of Fort Worth.

VanTrust is also building warehouses in South Fort Worth and in Forney, east of Dallas.

The developer is a partner in the $2 billion Frisco Station mixed-use project on the Dallas North Tollway in Frisco.
