Amazon has opened what it calls a delivery station in Bellingham: a smaller facility meant to help deliver packages from larger fulfillment centers.
The Bellingham facility at 351 Maple St., which opened in May, was one of eight such facilities Amazon announced in Massachusetts on Tuesday.
The location is in one of two warehouses built in 2017 hosting convenience store chain 7-Eleven and the snack maker Snyder's-Lance. The two buildings, known as the Business Park of Bellingham, includes 427,500 square feet of industrial space. Amazon did not say how much space it was occupying.
The other new Amazon centers are in Boston, Hingham, Mansfield, Middleborough, Revere, Taunton and Wilmington. Packages are brought to delivery stations from Amazon fulfillment centers — the nearest large one, in Fall River, spans more than 1 million square feet — before being sorted and then loaded into vehicles to be delivered to customers. There are more than 150 such delivery stations across the country, Amazon said.
The Bellingham location joins a growing list of industrial space along that section of I-495. Construction began last fall on a $30-million, 345,000-square-foot distribution facility at 160 Mechanic St. in Bellingham. The building, constructed without tenants lined up, is expected to be complete this fall.
Warehouses for the paper distributor Lindenmeyr Munroe and the building material supplier BlueLinx are just down the street from Amazon's new Bellingham facility, and around the corner in Franklin is a Garelick Farms distribution facility.
