HQ2 is way out there in the future, but today the Feds, Provs, City and Amazon announced that the tech giant will open a second Vancouver tech-employee office with 1000 employees. This is an addition to the existing 1000-person tech office located in Telus Gardens.
Amazon has large warehouses in the Metro area, in Delta and New Westminster, employing around 500 people.
The new location is 150,000 sq. ft. on Dunsmuir at Homer (402 Dunsmuir) and is scheduled to open in 2020. This is in addition to 76,000 sq. ft. in shared space with WeWork, which may be temporary until 2020.
