A newly constructed, 1.09 msf, Class A industrial facility located at 5104 Express Ave, within Wonderful Logistics Center in Shafter, CA, was acquired by Amazon, the global technology and e-commerce company. This space marks Amazon’s third location at the 2,000-acre, fully entitled, master-planned logistics and distribution campus, bringing its owned and leased footprint to more than 3 msf.
More than 17 msf of warehouses are in operation at Wonderful Logistics Center today, supporting 23 tenants, including multiple Fortune 100 companies, and approximately 13,000 jobs—more than half of Kern County’s logistics workforce. 5104 Express Avenue was developed on a speculative basis to accommodate large-scale distribution and manufacturing users. It features a 40-foot clear height, 216 dock-high doors, two grade-level doors, 455 automobile parking spaces and 939 trailer stalls.
Cushman & Wakefield Executive Vice Chairman Phil Lombardo, Vice Chair Andrew Starnes and Senior Director Cruise Adams represented the seller, while KBC Advisors Partner Colin MacMillan represented the buyer during negotiations for 5104 Express Avenue.
Last year, Amazon partnered with Bakersfield College and The Wonderful Company to launch a 12-week Mechatronics & Robotics Apprenticeship program for U.S. employees at the on-site Wonderful Career Center, providing hands-on, SACA-certified training to prepare employees for skilled technical roles and career advancement. To date, more than 100 student employees have graduated from the program and entered year-long apprenticeships before they transition into mid-level technical roles at the company.
