Amazon Leases 615K SF Infill Warehouse In LA County
Amazon has signed a new 615K SF lease in one of the larger Class-A warehouses in Commerce, a small city southeast of Los Angeles.
The e-commerce giant signed a lease for the former 99 Cents Only distribution center in Commerce, according to a fourth-quarter report from Savills. The report does not mention terms of the lease, but an industry source with knowledge of the transaction confirmed it is a 10-year term.
The property at 6100 Garfield Ave. in Commerce has been vacant since the discount retailer declared bankruptcy and moved out in 2024. The property is especially large for a warehouse located in the middle of the city, and the transaction was the largest in the Los Angeles industrial market in the fourth quarter.
A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed it signed a lease for the Commerce property but would only say that the company's plans were "in the very early stages."
Prologis owns the building, according to public records. Amazon is one of Prologis' top three tenants across its portfolio, along with FedEx and Home Depot.
Nationally, Amazon has renewed its appetite for warehouse space in pursuit of offering faster-than-same-day delivery.
Amazon launched a pilot for this new service in December.
The company is growing on the East Coast as well, leasing a 450K SF warehouse near Boston, also in Q4.
Though the Amazon lease was sizable, the LA industrial market did not end the year on a high note. In the fourth quarter, the market once again posted negative absorption, this time of 2M SF, according to Savills. Vacancy in the market was 7.1% at the end of 2025.
