NEW YORK CITY—Construction is commencing shortly on what has been billed as the single largest job creator ever on Staten Island—a new $100-million Amazon fulfillment center on the West Shore at the Matrix Global Logistics Park.
New York State officials and Amazon announced the 855,000-square-foot project on Wednesday. Amazon says that when completed next year the facility will create 2,250 new, full-time jobs.
The facility is being developed by Matrix Development Group of Monroe Township, NJ, the owner of the Matrix Global Logistics Park. Matrix is expected to begin construction immediately on the Amazon project. In addition, the park also includes a 975,000-square-foot building that is being built on spec. Work on that building began in the first quarter of this year and is nearing completion.
