Amazon buys former Orange County Register plant

 

Amazon has bought a printing plant inSanta Ana, California, that had been used by the Orange County Register, the paper reported

The plant will be knocked down and a distribution center will go up in its place, says the paper.

Amazon paid nearly $63.2 million on Oct. 19 to purchase the facility and nearly 17 acres along the 5 Freeway, said Jack Haley with Lee & Associates, a listing agent for the property.

Real estate developer Michael Harrah, who owned the Register property for several years, remains the owner of the well-known orange building where the paper’s newsroom and ad staff worked since the mid-80s, the paper said. That building is up for sale or lease.

The Register newsroom operates out of a building in Anaheim near the 57 freeway south of Angel Stadium. Digital First Media bought the paper in a bankruptcy auction in 2016.
