Two full city blocks at 12555 and 12595 Flatlands Ave. in Brooklyn, NY are being developed into nearly 200,000 square feet of high volume, automated industrial warehouses. Wildflower Ltd. is creating a two-building, last-mile distribution center, called the Brooklyn Logistics Center. The facilities are scheduled to open in October 2019.
The company’s president Adam Gordon says, “E-Commerce is completely disrupting the supply chain. Amazon, Walmart and their generation of e-commerce competitors are in a high-speed arms race to rush everything from shoes to groceries to their customers. Large, modern, automated warehouses located in major urban areas are essential to this strategy. Until now, New York has been late to adopt this necessary new model of last mile warehousing.”
