Amazon is dropping plans to occupy a new Seattle high rise just weeks after its abrupt cancellation of a $2.5bn campus in New York.
The company said on Wednesday that it would not move into more than 700,000 square feet in a skyscraper under construction in its home town.
Amazon, led by founder Jeff Bezos, had agreed in 2017 to rent all 30 floors of office space — with room for at least 3,500 employees — in Rainier Square, which will become the second-tallest building in the Pacific Northwest when it opens next year, according to The Seattle Times.
