E-commerce giant Amazon.com has purchased two vacant retail plazas along the busy Boston Post Road in Orange for more than $14 million. The site was the subject of a 2020 redevelopment proposal to turn the former Lowe’s center into a 129,000-square-foot delivery station. It is unclear what Amazon’s plans are for the property. The two properties at 48-50 Boston Post Road were bought by Amazon.com Services and principal Michael D. Deal on July 5 for $14.5 million, according to town land records. Deal is Amazon’s general counsel. The properties were sold by Boston-based Great Island Development Group Orange LLC, and principals Bernard M. Devine Jr and Charles R. Irving III.
