Amazon’s push into using electric cargo bikes for its last-mile deliveries could mark a significant shift for the distribution and logistics industry as companies look to figure out how to sort and deliver packages to customers faster in a city as dense as New York.
Amazon.com Inc. has leased a building on Manhattan’s West Side to use as a distribution center.
The e-commerce giant confirmed it has leased the property at 706 11th Ave., a two-story, 66,000-square-foot retail building owned by auto dealer The Potamkin Group. The property, at the corner of West 50th Street, is one block from the West Side Highway.
