A state filing confirms the $48 million sortation facility once planned back in 2021 is now set to break ground this August.
GEORGETOWN, TEXAS — Amazon appears to be following through on a warehouse project in Georgetown that was first rumored more than four years ago and never materialized, until now.
According to a July 6 filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), Amazon.com Services LLC intends to break ground on August 24, 2026, on a 248,687-square-foot sorting warehouse at 104 Wittera Way, with completion targeted for July 30, 2027.
The site sits within Gateway35, one of two large industrial parks under development in Georgetown by Albuquerque-based Titan Development Ltd.
The filing describes the project as an SSD (Sub Same Day) facility, meaning it will specialize in getting packages to customers in less than a day. The estimated $48,000,000 project includes:
- A robotics sorting and storage area
- Specialty storage
- Cold storage
- Incidental office and support space
The facility is privately funded on private land, per the filing.
This isn’t Amazon’s first attempt at building here. Back in 2021, the Austin Business Journal reported that Amazon was eyeing a large warehouse project at this same site. Entities tied to the company went on to purchase the 56-acre parcel, now valued at roughly $2.5 million, later that year. But the project stalled, and nothing broke ground.
The new TDLR filing suggests those long-dormant plans are finally active again.
If completed, the Georgetown facility would become Amazon’s fourth warehouse in the greater Austin area, joining two existing facilities in Round Rock and a third in Pflugerville.
A company spokesperson offered the following statement:
“Our team is in the early stages of bringing a new operations facility to Georgetown, one that would provide local customers with faster delivery of everyday essentials while creating new jobs in the community. We’re working with local officials on this project and look forward to sharing more details as plans develop.”
Amazon has not yet released specific job-creation numbers for the facility.
This story is based on a construction permit filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, not a formal announcement from Amazon. Hello Georgetown will continue to follow this project as it develops.
