Amazon Takes 180,000 SF at BofA Tower

SEATTLE-The lease, which is not being confirmed by the parties involved, would soak up half the vacant space in the 76-story Downtown office building here owned by Equity Office Properties Trust. Then again, it may only be temporary while it waits for a new building to be built on its headquarters campus.

SEATTLE-Amazon is taking about 180,000 sf of expansion space Downtown, local brokers tell GlobeSt.com. The online retailer has reportedly soaked up half of the vacant space in Equity Office Properties’ 76-story Bank of America Tower, the city’s tallest office building.

The rumored lease would be pure expansion, according to local brokers. Amazon reportedly has four years remaining on its 190,000-sf headquarters lease at Wright Runstad & Co.’s Pacific Medical Center in the Beacon Hill neighborhood and a somewhat longer term remaining on its 445,000-sf lease at Downtown’s Union Station.

One of the big unanswered questions is the length of the lease. Local brokers say it may only be short term while additional space is developed for it at Pacific Medical Center. Wright Runstad has the necessary approvals in hand to build another 220,000-sf building there. Then again, although local brokers deem it unlikely, Amazon may be preparing to go more corporate.
