SAN JOSE — Amazon.com Services, a delivery and commerce unit of the high-tech behemoth, has bought a site near downtown San Jose where a huge industrial center has been proposed.
In an unexpected deal welcomed by city leaders, the e-commerce leviathan bought a 17.8-acre site at 1605 S. Seventh St. near the corner of East Alma Avenue, a short distance from the city’s downtown and Happy Hollow Zoo, Santa Clara County property documents show.
