Ogden, Monroe County, NY — Amazon is expanding its real estate footprint in Greater Rochester with a major $7.25 million property acquisition. Amazon.com Services LLC finalized the purchase of 84.6 acres at 119 Shepard Road in Ogden on December 29, 2025, with plans to construct a 250,572-square-foot facility for same-day delivery operations, according to the Rochester Business Journal. The property deed was filed with the Monroe County Clerk's Office, marking the latest investment in Amazon's growing Western New York presence.
Amazon's new facility represents a strategic expansion of its logistics network in the Rochester area. The company will develop 250,572 square feet across 37.63 acres of the newly acquired property at 119 Shepard Road. The remaining acreage is zoned for light industrial and warehouse use, providing Amazon with room for future expansion and operations.
This announcement comes just four months after Amazon opened its $45.6 million sortation facility across the street at 90 Shepard Road in September 2025, which had been delayed since 2022 due to supply chain issues and equipment problems. The company's continued investment in Ogden signals confidence in the Rochester market and demonstrates Amazon's commitment to efficient same-day delivery operations throughout the region.
The new facility at 119 Shepard Road in Ogden, Monroe County provides Amazon with:
The Acquest Development, through Gillett Road Ogden LLC, served as the seller. Acquest, headquartered in Williamsville, New York, has a long-standing relationship with Amazon and has facilitated several major development projects for the e-commerce giant in the Rochester area.
Amazon's investment strategy in Rochester reflects the region's value as a logistics hub. The company now operates multiple major facilities across Monroe County:
This expansion creates a strategic "logistics corridor" in the Shepard Road industrial area. By positioning the new same-day delivery facility directly adjacent to its existing sortation center, Amazon can streamline operations, reduce delivery times, and enhance fulfillment efficiency for Western New York customers.
Ogden Town Supervisor Mike Zale has previously stated that Amazon's planned development at 119 Shepard Road was specifically designed to "ensure same-day delivery is even more efficient." This project aligns with Ogden's economic development priorities and reflects the town's appeal to large-scale industrial and logistics operations.
Amazon's investments generate significant economic benefits for the region, including:
Amazon's continued expansion in the Rochester area reflects broader trends in Western New York's real estate and logistics sectors. The region has emerged as a critical node in the Northeast's supply chain network due to its proximity to major metropolitan areas like Buffalo, Syracuse, and Toronto, combined with competitive real estate costs and available land.
According to the Rochester Business Journal, Western New York's warehouse market is experiencing significant pressure from ongoing growth in e-commerce logistics. Amazon is not alone in investing heavily in the region—other major logistics operators continue to expand facilities across Erie, Monroe, and Niagara counties.
While Amazon has finalized the property purchase and filed the deed with Monroe County Clerk's Office, the company has not yet announced specific timelines for construction or facility operations. Typically, warehouse construction at this scale takes 12-24 months from groundbreaking to operational readiness, though Amazon's previous projects in the region have sometimes experienced delays.
Local contractors and construction firms should monitor this project closely for potential subcontracting opportunities, as projects of this size typically involve regional construction partnerships and specialized logistics facility expertise.
