Commerce Warehouse Leased by Amazon in 2025’s Largest Deal

Amazon has signed a new lease for a Los Angeles-area warehouse spanning more than 600,000 square feet.

The Jeff Bezos-led e-commerce giant signed a lease for 615,000 square feet at 6100 Garfield Avenue in Commerce, Bisnow reported, citing a fourth-quarter report from Savills.

Terms of the lease were not disclosed, but a source told Bisnow that the agreement is for a 10-year term. The deal was the largest in the Los Angeles-area industrial market in the fourth quarter.

The building was once a 99 Cents Only distribution center before the dollar-store company went bankrupt in 2024. The facility has been vacant since 99 Cents Only moved out that year.

Prologis owns the Garfield Avenue property. Amazon is one of Prologis’ top three tenants across its entire portfolio, sharing the top spots with FedEx and Home Depot.

Amazon has been grabbing warehouse space as the e-commerce giant ramps up its efforts to offer faster-than-same-day delivery in select markets. The company launched a pilot for the service in November. Plans for the Commerce facility are “in the very early stages,” an Amazon spokesperson told Bisnow.

Late last year, Amazon bought a flex industrial building in Pasadena for $78.8 million, The Real Deal previously reported. The property at 2964 Bradley Street spans 168,000 square feet. The seller, Alvarez & Marsal Capital Real Estate, bought it from San Francisco-based Graymark Capital in 2021 for $33 million.

Amazon is also in expansion mode on the East Coast. Last quarter, the corporation leased a 450,000-square-foot warehouse in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, near Boston, per Bisnow.

The Los Angeles industrial market at large ended last year with 2 million square feet of negative absorption, per Savills. Vacancy in the local industrial market was 7.1 percent in the fourth quarter, on par with the 7.1 percent nationwide rate, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
