SUNSET PARK — Amazon is coming to town.

The behemoth online shopping portal has signed a seven-year lease in Sunset Park's Liberty View Industrial Plaza, The Real Deal reported.

Amazon is reportedly planning to open a distribution center, although the size of the space was not known.

The lease also includes two five-year-term renewal options, according to the Real Deal.

Amazon could not be reached for comment Friday morning.

Liberty View Industrial Plaza, located at 850 Third Ave. at 30th Street, has already attracted commercial giant Bed, Bath & Beyond, which plans to open four of its stores in the building. 

Koppers Chocolates decided this year to leave behind their longtime West Village factory and relocate to the massive 1.3-million-square-foot waterfront complex.
