Amazon Adding 450 Jobs and Second Office Lease in Downtown Chicago
As part of a series of announcements regarding expansion at its regional Tech Hubs, Amazon said Tuesday it would add 450 jobs at the Chicago hub. The company will lease 67,000 square feet at Tishman Speyer’s 222 W. Adams St., adding to the 140,000 square feet it occupies at the connected 227 W. Monroe.
“These 450 new roles will join the more than 1,000 corporate and technology employees already working here in Chicago,” Brian Huseman, VP of public policy at Amazon, said in a statement. “Chicago’s many amenities and proximity to outstanding academic institutions continue to attract and develop an incredible talent pipeline.
“We look forward to continue investing in Chicago and creating exciting career opportunities as we build on our strong relationships with the local community and its leaders,” Huseman added. The 222 W. Adams space is expected to open in late 2022.
