New details have been released for Amazon’s multi-million dollar facility in central Texas. An application filed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in April revealed that Amazon will begin construction on a second delivery station in Round Rock later this year in September.
The new $72.5 million construction is expected to be for an Amazon delivery station on the same site that the company plans to house multiple facilities in the future. It’s all part of a previously planned $250 million project that Amazon suspended two years ago, according to the Austin Business Journal.
In early December 2023, Amazon representatives told the Round Rock Planning and Zoning Commission that the new facility would bring nearly 200 jobs, not including delivery drivers, to the area just north of Austin. . By January, the Round Rock City Council had approved a plan to move forward with the Amazon site along County Road 172 after the project was canceled in 2022.
Amazon admitted at the time that one of the main reasons the plan was canceled was that it had too much distribution space nationwide, ABJ reported. However, the company is currently expanding its plans to include warehouses, data centers, and power substations, in addition to the distribution center originally planned.
The scope of work for the 141,360-square-foot distribution station includes concrete slope construction of a warehouse with internal offices.
According to TDLR’s filing, the Amazon Delivery Station DUA3 project is expected to be completed in September 2025, one year after the construction completion date. All TDLR filings are subject to change at any time.
