According to documents on file at City Hall, the new proposal would repurpose an existing industrial building at 2256 Junction Ave. The site is near two busy interchanges for Interstate 880 – Brokaw Road and Montague Expressway.
The project would use an existing building that totals 107,700 square feet, according to the proposal that was submitted by project developer and property owner Prologis.
“If the project application is approved, the existing warehouse will undergo market-ready improvements, such as a refreshed ancillary office space, power upgrade, LED lights, site paving and roof repairs to accommodate a potential vehicle delivery center,” Janet Galvez, Prologis investment officer, stated in an emailed comment.
Construction could begin during the April-through-June second quarter of 2026, once the city review process is complete.
Several hundred vehicles could be stored at the site once the project is complete. An estimated 920 spaces would be available on the property, planning documents show.
Another 117 parking stalls would be available for use by employees, customers and visitors.
Prior proposals for the site had suggested the building could be used for an Amazon logistics hub.
The current proposal is the first one that envisions use of the site as a vehicle delivery center. The vehicle delivery hub also might accommodate a showroom.
“Standard servicing and repair of vehicles will be performed here to support deliveries, including software updates, tire replacement, tire balancing and replacement of bolt on parts,” Prologis states in the project proposal documents.
The brand or brands of vehicles that would be delivered from the site weren’t immediately disclosed by Prologis.
“Customers will be required to have a scheduled appointment to take delivery of their new car at this location,” Prologis stated in the planning documents.
The proposal arrives at a time when Prologis is experiencing robust performances for its finances as well as its leasing activity.
Over the 12 months that ended in June, Prologis recorded $3.44 billion in profits and $8.56 billion in revenue, according to Finance Charts.
“Our leasing pipeline has reached historically high levels, and what we’re hearing from customers, especially the larger ones, is clear: they’re planning, engaging and increasingly ready to act,” Prologis President Daniel Letter said in emailed comments. “These trends are evident in both our leasing and build-to-suit activity. We’re in a strong position to meet that demand.”
