Strategic Location

LEX2 is an Amazon fulfillment and returns facility in northwest Lexington’s 40511 industrial submarket, a large-scale distribution zone within Fayette County. The site sits in a dedicated industrial park environment, benefiting from proximity to Lexington’s arterial road network and the I-64/I-75 corridor, giving carriers efficient access to Louisville, Cincinnati, and the wider Midwest and East Coast. The 380,000+ sq ft warehouse has been fully leased to Amazon for many years and functions as a key e-commerce hub handling customer returns, merchandising, make-on-demand, and general fulfillment activities, which supports stable volumes and predictable appointment patterns for inbound carriers.
