Developers are planning to convert a former retail site in Carle Place into a distribution center for Amazon.

The 7.4-acre site at 2 Westbury Ave. was formerly occupied by a 56,000-square-foot Waldbaum’s supermarket that has been shuttered and vacant for more than four years.

The property was purchased last month by Brisbane-Steel Carle Place LLC, a joint venture entity registered to Bethpage-based developer Steel Equities, according to public records. A company official has yet to respond to a request for comment.

A representative of the e-commerce giant discussed the plan at a meeting of the Carle Place Civic Association’s board last week, according to a post on the civic group’s Facebook page. The Amazon official told the group that the company has signed a 15-year lease for the site and plans to have the facility operational by the fall of this year. He added that the company is not seeking tax breaks or economic incentives for the project.

The Amazon operation in Carle Place will run 24/7 and 18-wheel truck traffic will be restricted to enter and exit the facility from Voice Road. Only its smaller delivery vans will be able to access the distribution center from Westbury Avenue.

The former Waldbaum’s site is one of a handful of Long Island supermarket properties that have failed to find a re-use after closing as a result of the A&P bankruptcy in 2015.

Steel Equities has already leased two of its properties in Bethpage to Amazon, including a 161,360-square-foot building at 201 Grumman Road West that was formerly occupied by Goya Foods and a 140,000-square-foot industrial building on 13.24 acres at 80 Grumman Road West that was once leased to Cablevision.

Brokers say Amazon has been active in seeking additional sites throughout Long Island for its growing last-mile distribution operations.
