Lord & Taylor Amazon is reportedly in talks with WeWork to lease the former Lord & Taylor building on Fifth Ave.

NEW YORK CITY—The Amazon hunt in New York City is still on, according to several news reports. Crain’s recently reported the mega e-commerce company may have done an about-face on its Long Island City plans for an HQ2 but is back in Queens trying to acquire a distribution facility.

The business news publication wrote several sources say Amazon is looking at RXR Realty and LBA Realty’s 55-15 Grand Ave. in Maspeth. Amazon would demolish the former warehouse that’s onsite and build a new distribution facility, according to the article. The companies have not confirmed this deal.
