New Amazon building at Cortana

I drove around the building today and the steel frame is up. While it’s a huge building I’m surprised how little of the site it consumes. Is the rest all parking or some combination with other buildings as well. Maybe leaving room for future expansion??
Anyone dialed in to this project?

Drove by Cortana recently too and I also saw that they demolished the tire shop next to Dillards, not the FireStone shop.
Did Amazon just go ahead and buy that too? I believe that it wasn't in the original deal. Must've got it for cheap.

Will it be ready in time?

Probably a last mile delivery station so a lot of truck and van parking needed

It will be woefully under air conditioned

What you are seeing is only about 5% of the whole steel frame. It’s a 3.5 million square foot building.

Yes, thousands of employees you have to plan parking for plus the trailer yard. The one in Lafayette is massive and that’s just a large product site, whereas this one is the smaller products with the robotics

It’s supposed to be roughly half the square footage that Cortana Mall had I believe.

I went to the "Largest retailer warehouse in the world" in the early 2000's as part of an audit, all these new Amazon facilities dwarf this thing, it was Walmarts biggest for a time. Parking was easily 3X the size of the building and they use to only build them 2 stories with the main area open.

No, but I saw the SD drawings. The structure of almost all decent to large buildings are fabricated and built in phases. They might start on the next sequence before they finish one as long as the structure is laterally capable of standing on its own.
Also, it will look a lot bigger once it's enclosed.

Not as big as the Shreveport facility

xxxTAMMYxxx is not on board with all you guys who want Amazon in the backyard. Resist Big BoTechRetail

That's just the office/admin structure. Just wait.

Used to be a cool 90’s mall, now taken over by Amazon. I hate this timeline.

They still have to finish Gravy’s apartment and Kibbles’ office for her salt lamps.

They are building the tax office in case Louisiana goes Louisiana and votes down a centralized sales tax collection for out of state tax purchases.

Most of it is below ground in the bat cave.
