CASE STUDY
Together, Goodman and Amazon have developed an e-commerce property solution that meets all the criteria for a precision-built distribution centre, always close to transport infrastructure so that products can be collected, sorted, stored and delivered in the most cost-efficient way possible.
Driven by the exponential growth of e-commerce, Amazon continues to expand its global operations.
Increased product and service offerings and scaled infrastructure support its retail and service businesses and meet ever-growing consumer demand for rapid product delivery to the doorstep.
