NEW YORK CITY—Amazon reportedly is considering a relocation and expansion that would more than triple its space.
The firm is in negotiations for 285,872 square feet of space at 1133 Ave. of the Americas, at West 44th St, according to the New York Post. A spokesman for building landlord the Durst Organization declined to comment to GlobeSt.com.
Currently housed in 92,492 square feet at the neighboring 1350 Ave. of the Americas, Amazon is slated to need to add 100,000 to 200,000 square feet to its offices every few years.
At the new location, Amazon would takeover space that will be vacated by the Internal Revenue Service. Durst's marketing flyer for the space, the Post reports, indicate that the space offers an “ability to create a 'distinctive presence as an anchor tenant on the exterior of the building as well as in the lobby.”
The Post continues, “It will include 'a private entrance with a generous plaza area' on West 44th Street and a sprawling 13,000 feet of outdoor landscaped terraces on the second floor.
It was unclear at press time who would broker Amazon's latest lease but the firm's previous move in 2012 was handled by Justin Halpern and Marcus Rayner of CRESA Partners.
