Global conglomerate Amazon has been on an acquisition spree of late and has just snapped up its third site in the north-west.

The facility is New Capital's 110,000 square feet, Venus 110 property at Knowsley Industrial Estate in Liverpool, which the internet retailer has acquired before the building project is complete.

When the building is finished, it will have 100,000 square feet of warehouse space and 10,000 square feet of office space.

Amazon is expanding elsewhere in the north-west as it has recently submitted plans to take on a warehouse at Manchester Airport City.

The project at Manchester Airport will feature a takeover of Stoford and Mount Park's 271,000 square feet warehouse and will expand it to a total 654,000 square feet.

Similarly, the retailer recently acquired a 10-year lease on a 170,000 square feet unit at Lancashire Business Parks.

This Lancashire building acquisition is part of the expansion of the company's logistics business, Amazon Logistics.
