亚马逊将搬离西雅图总部附近的长期办公大楼。

内容总结:
亚马逊将退出其西雅图总部附近一处办公空间,结束长达十二年的租约。这栋位于丹尼三角区特里大道1915号的七层建筑,自2014年起由亚马逊租用,面积达25.1万平方英尺,产权归属西雅图儿童医院。公司确认租约于今年五月到期后不再续签,员工将迁至其他办公地点。
该建筑被亚马逊内部称为"Kumo",建于上世纪50年代,距离公司主办公楼和"球体"标志性建筑仅数个街区。亚马逊未透露在此办公的具体员工人数,但强调公司在西雅图约有5万名企业及技术岗位员工。值得注意的是,今年1月底公司宣布全球裁员1.6万人时,西雅图地区有超过1400名员工受到影响。
据《普吉特湾商业周刊》报道,自2020年以来,亚马逊已在西雅图累计缩减超100万平方英尺办公空间,其中大部分位于丹尼三角区。与此同时,公司正将发展重心向东转移——在华盛顿湖对岸的贝尔维尤市,亚马逊已启用新办公楼并计划在此区域总部部署2.5万名员工,持续调整其在普吉特湾地区的办公布局。

Amazon plans to exit an office building near its Seattle headquarters, 12 years after taking over the space during the height of its growth in the city.
Amazon is not renewing its lease at 1915 Terry Ave. in the Denny Triangle area of downtown Seattle, the company confirmed to GeekWire on Tuesday. The tech giant, which has occupied the seven-story, 251,000-square-foot space owned by Seattle Children’s since 2014, will move out at the end of May and relocate employees to other offices.
The Puget Sound Business Journal first reported on the planned move.
Kumo, as Amazon calls it, is a 1950s-era building located just a few blocks from Amazon’s main office towers and the Spheres. Amazon did not say how many employees work from the building.
The company employs approximately 50,000 corporate and tech employees in Seattle. More than 1,400 workers in Seattle were impacted by company-wide layoffs of 16,000 people announced at the end of January.
PSBJ reported that since 2020, Amazon has given up more than 1 million square feet of office space in Seattle, most of it in the Denny Triangle.
The company has been growing its footprint across Lake Washington in Bellevue, where it has opened new office buildings and said it plans to employ 25,000 people as part of its regional HQ.
