Amazon has reportedly paid in the region of £65 million for a residential site in Greater London.
The 95,000 sq ft former Pentavia Retail Park in Mill Hill, Barnet had secured planning permission for more than 800 homes last year from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, despite the residential scheme being turned down by Barnet Council.
Amazon outbid a number of residential developers for the controversial site and is thought to be carrying out pre-planning negotiations with Barnet Council for the development of a last mile logistics hub.
