Amazon appears to be planning two Baton Rouge facilities

Tuesday night’s decision by the Planning Commission to approve a 111,000-square-foot distribution center on Industsriplex near Siegen Lane for an Atlanta developer with ties to Amazon suggests the e-retail giant is moving forward with plans to up its investment in Baton Rouge.
Though the proposal approved by the commission didn’t have any details about who the occupant of the warehouse will be, the applicant on the project, Seefried Industrial Properties, is an Atlanta company that has developed several warehouse/distribution centers around the country for Amazon.
Officials with the city, state and Amazon have declined to comment. Local engineering firm CSRS, which was listed with Seefried on the planning commission application for the new warehouse, also declines to comment citing a confidentiality agreement.

What’s also known, though also being kept quiet, is that Amazon, separately, continues to work on developing a much larger distribution and fulfillment center at the site of the recently shuttered Cortana Mall.
While the status of the Cortana project is unclear, sources have told Daily Report it is moving forward. In order to finalize its plans, however, Amazon has to close on at least six separate deals for the site—one for the center of the mall and one each for the five anchor tenant sites, which are individually owned. That process is long and tedious.
If and when it’s finalized, Amazon is expected to tear down the nearly 1 million-square-foot mall property, which was built in 1977, and construct an automated distribution and fulfillment center of more than 1 million square feet.
Facility 1: 111,000sf local fulfillment center in the Siegen/Industrialplex/I-12 area. The New Orleans area is also getting one similar to this.
Facility 2: 1,000,000sf+ regional distribution hub at the Cortana Mall property in north Baton Rouge. This one will feed 3-4 larger new smaller facilities that will be built in the Louisiana/Mississippi region.

Hopefully, the cortana mall area will get other businesses back such as restaurants. A lot of those shut down when Women’s Hospital moves.

I would guess Metarie or Kenner. Not sure if they are building a new facility or moving into an existing building.

It's a good thing that Airline Highway is getting widened.

Really good news for BR. Especially Cortana. Talk about turning chicken shite into chicken salad.

Just a little clarification.
The Cortana site, if purchased, will be a large distribution/fulfillment Center. The closest Amazon distribution/fulfillment Center to Baton Rouge is currently in Mobile, AL. So this will improve 1 and 2 day delivery options for our region.
The Rieger/Siegen site will be a delivery station, it will not store products. Siegen will be a home for last mile delivery (Amazon Vans)
