Reply to comment by milespeeingyourpants in Giant new building in Foxborough area - what is it? by BobQuasit

I can't imagine Amazon building a facility that size around here without it getting into the news. Hell, it would have had to have gone through the legislature, wouldn't it?

No idea how that works. Recently there was a story about Amazon closing facilities in the Worcester area. The story conveniently left out that they were building larger ones on 146 in Uxbrige and another in Marlboro.

Another clue is if they are transitioning the closest intersection into a roundabout. Easier for the Amazon trucks to navigate those.

The closest major section is a roundabout, sort of. It links Route 1 and 95.

I drove by the place again about an hour ago, and it's a few minutes south of the Foxborough town line. It's at least three or four stories tall, and there are large windows along the ground floor level, many of them arched. That doesn't fit with it being a warehouse, a Costco, a BJ's, or a Sam's Club. Nor does it fit with being a mall! Not that I would expect anyone to be building a mall these days, what with the retail apocalypse and the Emerald Mall (and most others) going down the drain!
