Amazon Coming to Anoson Indiana

On the heels of Medco’s big announcement to locate their mega warehouse in the Anson project, Amazon.com has recently announced that they will also add a distribution facility to the project and become the project’s newest tenant.  Amazon’s new distribution center promises to employ 1,200 workers at an average wage of $12.50 per hour and will surely galvanize the Anson project and induce more and more tenants into the area. 

Both Amazon and Medco are big catches in an effort to really get Anson off the ground.  Although the major building hasn’t even occurred yet, CVS has opened a pharmacy and both Meijer and Lowes have agreed to occupy the site as major anchors of the Anson project.  The new Amazon announcement should accelerate the growth and make it easier for others considering the project to pull the trigger.

Although the Amazon announcement is certainly a big win for Anson, it should be noted that this will most likely have very little direct impact on the residential side of the project.  The average wage at Amazon is projected at only $12.50 per hour; that’s only $26,000 per year working a 40 hour work week.  That is a far cry from the $60,000 per year that Medco is projecting.  After all, Zionsville real estate is some of the areas most expensive and Anson’s residential portion is likely to mirror that.  Although the wages for Amazon will not be that high, this is still a watershed moment for the project and should create a lot of excitement about the project and induce others to seriously consider Anson.
