Amazon has announced Trammell Crow Co. will serve as developer of a major distribution facility in Portland.

The 1 million-square-foot warehouse will be located on a parcel owned by the Port of Portland at 15000 N. Lombard St. Clarion Partners, based in New York City, is the project’s major lender.

鈥淭his is yet another example of the strong market fundamentals for industrial development in the Portland metro (area),鈥� Steve Sieber, senior vice president with Trammell Crow Co., said in an email message.

Amazon will lease the building from Trammell Crow and Clarion, Amazon spokeswoman Ashley Robinson said in an email message.

Trammell Crow, based in Dallas, is the Portland area’s most prolific industrial developer. Last year, Trammell Crow completed a 600,000-square foot Subaru shipping facility at Gresham Vista Business Park.

Amazon’s fulfillment center adds to an existing facility in Hillsboro and recently announced centers in Troutdale and Salem. Amazon also opened a Prime Now pick-up center near Portland State University.

The Portland center will employ 1,000 workers, who will sort large items such as pet food and gardening tools, Amazon said in a news release. Combined with its other operations, Amazon will employ 3,500 workers in Oregon when all of the facilities open in 2018.

Amazon’s center in Salem is being developed by Portland-based Capstone Partners.
