Amazon Boosts Tampa Bay Real Estate and Job Creation

Posted on February 6, 2015

The two Amazon distribution centers in the Tampa Bay area have not only created jobs; they’re also raising the national profile of the Tampa Bay real estate markets, specifically industrial, commercial and residential. As Amazon is the country’s biggest online retailer, its decision to build two fulfillment centers in the Tampa Bay area has surely ticked the curiosity of warehouse location planners and other industrial and commercial real estate developers.

According to a 2014 research report from Colliers International, industrial real estate sales and leases in the Tampa Bay area increased in 2014. The report highlighted Amazon’s distribution centers and the warehouse investments by Cabot Properties in Westshore, ATCO Rubber Products in Plant City and Forty Ninth Street Real Estate in South Pinellas. Warehouse leases by First Class Moving in Westshore, Bailey Industrial in Tampa and TeleCommunication Systems Inc. in Tampa were also highlighted.

The Amazon fulfillment center in Lakeland in Polk County started its operation in August 2014, with its first shipment sent to a customer in New York. This center, a one-million-square-foot facility, is the first Amazon distribution center in Florida. It processes larger items like TVs, bigger appliances and kayaks. Need to find an appliance repair service in your area?
