Amazon remains the primary tenant but is subleasing the space to a third party, said Richard Gorodesky, a vice chair at Colliers International. The new ownership will not affect that agreement, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal, which first reported the sale on Tuesday.

The parcel was sold for more than its assessed market value of approximately $8.3 million, according to property records, and for more than the $9.75 million it last sold for in 2021. Before that, it went for $4.4 million in 2019.

Amazon opened the warehouse at 13200 Townsend Rd. in June 2021 at a time when the online-shopping behemoth was encircling the city with dozens of fulfillment and distribution centers.

Industry experts cite the “Amazon effect” as a reason the U.S. — and the Philadelphia region — has become a warehouse economy.

The Townsend Road property is one of the Philadelphia region’s 188 warehouses that are larger than 20,000 square feet, most of which are within three miles of I-95, I-295, and the New Jersey Turnpike.
