Amazon buys 58 acres in Gainesville for nearly $88 million
Amazon buys 58 acres in Gainesville for nearly $88 million
BY NOLAN STOUT, nstout@insidenova.com 20 hrs ago
Amazon Data Services Inc. purchased the land at 5845 Wellington Road on April 25 from Gainesville Associates LLC, which had owned it since 1976, according to online property records.
Amazon also purchased the adjacent 58.5 acres from Gainesville Associates for $52.3 million in April 2021.
While Amazon has not announced plans for the properties, they are zoned for industrial use and are within the county’s Data Center Opportunity Zone overlay district.
The district is about 10,000 acres designated in 2016 to reduce regulatory hurdles for the industry within its boundaries.
