It took fast-growing Amazon quite a while to open its first Mesa distribution center, with the online giant finally opening a facility near Falcon Field near the end of 2019.
It must be going well, as Amazon is already lining up its second Mesa operation â this one on the north end of Eastmark, close to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
Two and a half months ago, plans
for âProject Javelinaâ were submitted to the city.
Though the company likely to operate there is mostly veiled in the submission, âAmazon Hubâ appears on the plan twice, below a sketch of âpackage pickup and returnâ and âcustomer serviceâ entrances.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Amazon’s expansion on Albuquerque’s West Side is set to include more than just the originally planned fulfillment center.
The company announced on Thursday that, in addition to its five story, 2.5 million-square-foot fulfillment center, Amazon is also building a 270,000-square-foot sortation or sorting center at the same campus near Atrisco Vista Boulevard and Interstate 40.
An Amazon delivery station at Bluewater Road and Airport Drive NW also opened earlier this year, according to the company.
