📰 News we're reading

• Amazon to add supply chain facilities in New York, Texas (retaildive.com) — Amazon is planning a massive 4 million-square-foot operations facility right in Holbrook, bringing about 1,000 full-time jobs and a $1 billion investment, all powered by advanced robotics. The project is still in early planning, but it would become one of the area’s largest employers and reshape Long Island’s industrial footprint. Amazon is also expanding with new and upgraded facilities in Texas, North Carolina, and Florida.
   

• Amazon Just Bet Big on Two Industrial Markets Headed in Opposite Directions (realtytoday.com) — Amazon’s planned 4 million-square-foot, robotics-heavy operations center in Holbrook represents a $1 billion, 1,000-job bet on Suffolk County even as Long Island’s industrial market softens. The piece explains how scarce land and shifting vacancy rates make this a unique, build-to-suit project that stands apart from typical leased warehouses. It also contrasts Holbrook’s outlook with Amazon’s expansion in booming Texas markets.
