Amazon selects New York City and Northern Virginia
for new headquarters
Amazon to invest $5 billion and create more than 50,000 jobs across the two
new headquarters, and announces Nashville as new Operations Center of
Excellence with more than 5,000 jobs.
Amazon today announced that we have selected New
York City and Arlington, Virginia, as the locations for our new
headquarters. Amazon will invest $5 billion and create more than 50,000 jobs
across the two new headquarters locations, with more than 25,000 employees
each in New York City and Arlington. The new locations will join Seattle as
the company’s three headquarters in North America. In addition, Amazon
announced that it has selected Nashville for a new Center of Excellence for
its Operations business, which is responsible for the company’s customer
fulfillment, transportation, supply chain, and other similar activities. The
Operations Center of Excellence in Nashville will create more than 5,000
jobs.
The new Washington, D.C. metro headquarters in Arlington will be located in
National Landing, and the New York City headquarters will be located in the
Long Island City neighborhood in Queens. Amazon’s investments in each new
headquarters will spur the creation of tens of thousands of additional jobs
in the surrounding communities. Hiring at both the new headquarters will
begin in 2019. The Operations Center of Excellence will be located in
downtown Nashville as part of a new development site just north of the
Gulch, and hiring will also begin in 2019.
“We are excited to build new headquarters in New York City and Northern
Virginia,” said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon. “These two locations
will allow us to attract world-class talent that will help us to continue
inventing for customers for years to come. The team did a great job
selecting these sites, and we look forward to becoming an even bigger part
of these communities.”
