Another Amazon.com facility in Polk County has sold for a blistering price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon’s 1.078 million-square-foot warehouse in Auburndale has sold to a corporate entity linked to Boston-based Eaton Vance Real Estate Investment Group for $170 million in a deal that closed June 2, according to Polk County property records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eaton Vance is owned by Morgan Stanley; Morgan Stanley paid $7 billion for Eaton Vance in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seller was Prologis Inc., which developed<\/a> the warehouse after landing<\/a> Amazon as a tenant in 2019. When Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) confirmed the deal, it was the e-commerce giant’s fourth location in Polk County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives from Prologis and Eaton Vance did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warehouse sits on 146 acres on C. Fred Jones Boulevard in Auburndale, south of Interstate 4 near the State Road 559 interchange. Prologis paid $10 million for the site in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon-occupied warehouses have become one of the hottest investments in Central Florida. The pricing of the Auburndale facility \u2014 roughly $157 per square foot \u2014 is in line with another recently sold Amazon warehouse. Lakeland Dragstrip Logistics Center, which Amazon also occupies, sold<\/a> for around $108 million or $150 per square foot in early April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those sales are encouraging developers to make massive speculative bets on the region’s industrial market: In Lakeland, Orlando-based Parkway Inc. and Silverpeak Real Estate Partners are planning to kick off a new industrial park with a speculative 708,000-square-foot warehouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
