Amazon has snapped up a roughly $95 million, more-than-1-million-square-foot warehouse in West Jefferson, tightening its grip on the logistics game just west of Columbus. The massive building sits in the West Jefferson Logistics Center off Interstate 70, about 20 miles from downtown, and shifts a modern Class-A distribution hub from the broader investment market straight into Amazon’s growing Ohio portfolio.
According to Columbus Business First, the tech giant paid about $95 million for the site. Commercial real estate trackers at Traded put the figure at roughly $95.92 million, which works out to about $88 per square foot, and identify the address as 44 Commerce Parkway. Property records and listings size the asset at around 1.09 million square feet, making it one of the largest single-asset industrial sales Central Ohio has seen in recent months.
Building details
The warehouse was developed on spec by The Pizzuti Companies as a Class-A facility and wrapped construction in 2022, according to Pizzuti. The project’s marketing materials highlight features tailored to big-league e-commerce users, including 40-foot clear heights, an ESFR sprinkler system and more than 190 dock doors to keep freight moving.
How it changed hands
Madison County sales records show Pizzuti transferred the building into an SFG West Jefferson LLC entity after completion, and industry coverage indicates Stonemont Financial Group was involved in the project prior to the latest sale. The county ledger and reporting by AJOT outline the property’s path from speculative build to actively marketed logistics heavyweight.
What it means for the market
Pulling roughly 1.09 million square feet out of the Columbus industrial inventory is no small thing in a region still juggling heavy new construction with steady leasing. CBRE’s Q3 2025 industrial report shows Columbus logged positive net absorption and a vacancy rate in the mid to high single digits, and transactions of this size suggest institutional players remain hungry for modern bulk warehouse space.
For now, Amazon’s exact playbook for the building is still under wraps. Public filings and listings do not spell out whether the company will fire it up as a working fulfillment center or treat it as a pure investment. Local officials and company representatives have not gone beyond what is available in the sale records reviewed for this story.
