Global commerce giant Amazon has been named in a media report as the tenant slated to occupy a huge new warehouse planned for southeast Ottawa.
OBJ first reported this month that the proposed one-million-square-foot facility at Boundary Road and Highway 417 would be the largest warehouse in the National Capital Region and was designed to accommodate up to 1,000 employees.
In an earlier interview, developer Broccolini said the project could cost up to $200 million and said the company did not yet have a confirmed tenant.
