If things go as planned we will be selling our condo here in 4 or so years. Amazon will ensure we get a decent profit.
Apparently the move can't come fast enough for Amazon- its Seattle HQ location is too dangerous for its workers.
Amazon Gets Approval To Build Massive Helix-Shaped ‘HQ2’ Outside DC
The Arlington County Board approved Amazon’s plans on Saturday to construct a massive helix-shaped tower.
“Amazon announced the plans in February 2021 for the eye-catching, 350-foot tower to anchor the second phase of its redevelopment plans,” ABC News reported. “The new office towers will support a second headquarters for Amazon that is expected to welcome more than 25,000 workers when it’s complete.”
The unanimous decision from the Arlington County Board will greenlight Amazon’s plans to construct their new building, which includes “a walkable ramp wrapping around the building with trees and greenery planted to resemble a mountain hike,” ABC News continued. The ramp feature will be available for public use on weekends.
Amazon Vice President of Global Real Estate and Facilities John Schoettler thanked “our Arlington neighbors and the County Board” after the Arlington authorities’ decision.
“With the County Board’s approval, we look forward to continuing our work with the community as we take the next steps on this journey to build an integrated, innovative, and sustainable second headquarters in Arlington, Virginia,” he said in a statement.
