Amazon.com Inc. announced plans to open a 1 million-square-foot fulfillment center in Robbinsville, New Jersey. At the facility, the company's employees will pick, pack and ship smaller items to customers--anything from books to DVDs, for example. KTR Capital Partners, a private equity firm, is building the project with Amazon planning to take occupancy in early 2014.

The expected investment in the project will exceed $200 million.
