The 560,000 square foot location is just short of 30 miles from central Manhattan - easy striking distance when you consider Ocado delivers to most of the country from Hatfield. The site previously housed a grocery distribution centre and was equipped with a refrigeration unit.
One analyst has said he expects Amazon to begin delivering from the unit as early as next year. The internet giant has been delivering groceries in Seattle through its FreshDirect operation but in June extended the operation to Los Angeles.
We reported in June that Amazon has drawn up plans to have operations in 20 US urban centres by next year and will even push into Europe.
