SAN JOSE \u2014 The site of a shuttered Amy\u2019s Kitchen plant in San Jose has been bought by a Bay Area real estate firm that has become active in acquiring South Bay industrial properties.<\/p>\n

Lift Partners, through an affiliate, paid just under $18.4 million for the industrial building, which is at 1885 Las Plumas Ave. in East San Jose, documents filed on Sept. 9 with the Santa Clara County Recorder\u2019s Office show.<\/p>\n

In March 2021, Amy\u2019s Kitchen leased the 74,000-square-foot building to open a food production center.<\/p>\n

But just over a year later, in July 2022, the organic frozen food maker ceased operations at the Las Plumas site and laid off 331 workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis industrial asset underwent significant food manufacturing improvements in 2021 by Devcon Construction,\u201d real estate executive Jacob Sanchez stated in a marketing brochure.<\/p>\n

The building occupies a 5.8-acre site that includes a significant amount of surface parking.<\/p>\n

The property is zoned light industrial, a designation whose intended uses are warehouses, wholesaling, and light manufacturing. A special use permit could allow other uses.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, Lift Partners paid $25.8 million for an industrial development site at 651 Martin Ave. in Santa Clara, stated JLL, a commercial real estate firm. That site could accommodate data center, manufacturing and warehouse operations.<\/p>\n

The strategy that Lift Partners is contemplating for the 1885 Las Plumas site wasn\u2019t immediately known.<\/p>\n
