Amazon Enters Pflugerville

Last week Amazon announced plans for their latest fulfillment center to be developed in Pflugerville, TX. Located at the northwest corner of Hwy 130 and Pecan St, the 84 acre site is slated to be completed by July of 2021.

With a footprint of 820,000 SF, the 4 1/2 story project will be an estimated 3.5 Million SF when all is said and done. Amazon has committed to invest $250 million of capital into the project and to bring on at least 1,000 full time employees.

Once delivered, the 1,000 jobs will make Amazon the city's second largest employer behind Pflugerville ISD. With a minimum starting wage of $15 per hour, employees will predominantly be renters, offering a steady supply to local B & C Class apartments in the area.
