An Amazon skyscraper will be coming to Bellevue, a suburb of Seattle. The company has begun the initial planning stage for its new office building, which will be located in the downtown of Bellevue at 600 108th Ave. The building will be the largest in the city, with a 43-story design. The large scale building will serve as office space for the e-commerce giant, and it will accommodate 4,200 employees.
Amazon may see the location as a defacto HQ2, since its initial plans for a New York-based HQ2 did not come to fruition. The company believes the project will bring approximately 6,500 jobs to the region.
The Amazon skyscraper is said to be ready in 2024.
