E-commerce giant Amazon will expand its Boston Tech Hub to include 3,000 new corporate and tech jobs over the next few years to support the company's Alexa, Amazon Web Services, AmazonRobotics and Amazon Pharmacy divisions, the company has announced. 

The expansion includes a new lease of a 17-story, 630,000 square foot office tower owned by WS Development at One Boston Wharf Road. The location, part of the 33-acre Boston Seaport project, will include working space, innovation labs, and mixed-use common areas for Amazon employees and is set for completion in 2024. One Boston Wharf Road will also include ground-floor retail and a new performing arts venue.

The deal is Amazon's second full-building lease in the area, with the first under construction by WS Development at 111 Harbor Way in Boston's Seaport.
