by John Nelson November 13, 2018

SEATTLE — Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has officially selected New York City and Arlington, Va., as the homes for its second headquarters, confirming reports last week of the e-commerce giant’s decision to split HQ2. Amazon will invest $5 billion and create more than 50,000 jobs across the two new headquarters locations, with more than 25,000 employees in each new headquarters. Both campuses will feature 4 million square feet of new office space, which is expandable up to 8 million square feet at each location. New York City and Arlington will join Seattle as the company’s three headquarters in North America. “These two locations will allow us to attract world-class talent that will help us to continue inventing for customers for years to come,” says Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon. “The team did a great job selecting these sites, and we look forward to becoming an even bigger part of these communities.” The New York location will be in Queens’ Long Island City neighborhood. The Arlington office will be in River Landing, a newly branded neighborhood encompassing parts of Pentagon City and Crystal City in Arlington and Potomac Yard in nearby Alexandria.

Amazon Reportedly Plans to Split HQ2 Evenly Between Two Cities

by Amy Works November 6, 2018

SEATTLE — Amazon has decided to split its second headquarters (HQ2) location between two cities, instead of creating one HQ2 facility, according a source who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. According a person familiar with the company’s plans, the driving factor behind the new decision to create two equal offices is the ability to recruit the best tech talent from various geographical regions. Additionally, the decision will ease the potential community issues regarding housing and transit for potentially thousands of new employees in one specific city. Under the new plan, Amazon will create two equal HQ2 facilities, each with approximately 25,000 employees. While Amazon has not announced its final decision, it is in late-stage discussions with several cities — Crystal City in Northern Virginia, Dallas and New York City as front runners — according to The Wall Street Journal, and a decision may be announced as early as this week. Amazon plans to view all three of its main U.S offices as headquarters with similar executive and back-office functions, notes a person familiar with the decision. However, the split means the company is creating two smaller offices than its 45,000-employee Seattle headquarters.
