BALTIMORE-Talk in real estate circles is that Amazon.com Inc. could be the likely tenant for a planned large warehouse at the former General Motors site at 5003 Holabird Ave. in southeast Baltimore.
Speculation is that the online giant would fit in nicely at the to-be-built 1-million-square-foot warehouse at 5003 Holabird Ave. that is owned by Duke Realty Corp.
Since Amazon has recently decided to build large warehouses close to large metro areas, the absence of a large warehouse near Washington and the lack of large tracts of land in the D.C. suburbs make the Duke Realty site attractive, according to Marc Wulfraat, president of supply chain consultant MWPVL International.
“Their objective is to reach same-day delivery service, and in order to be same-day to an urban area, you need to position your delivery center somewhere about 100 miles out to make it to that population,” Wulfraat says. He adds that with Amazon's new 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse in Middletown, DE serving the Baltimore area, the Duke Realty site could be the location for the Washington, DC marketplace.
