SJC8 - Project Goat

200 Harris Road, Salinas, CA 93901

A massive 5‑story Amazon fulfillment center planned at approximately 3.26 million sq ft on a 70-acre site, making it one of the largest U.S. Amazon facilities by size. Scannell Properties purchased the land in late 2023, and proceeded with off-site improvements in fall 2024. Major construction is expected to finish by mid‑2026. This development marks a transformative economic investment for South Salinas, expected to create hundreds of local jobs.

Advanced geotechnical foundation work was performed by Advanced Geosolutions and GeoPentech using deep‑soil mixing and displacement‑grouted columns. Approximately 1,927 DSM and 4,746 DGC columns were installed supporting a cement load platform system.
