Amazon Expands into 430K SF in Boston Seaport Development
Amazon plans to expand its Boston Tech Hub and create an additional 2,000 technology jobs in fields including machine learning, speech science, cloud computing, and robotics engineering. Amazon will be expanding into 430,000 square feet in WS Development’s Seaport project, a 23-acre, 7.6-million-square-foot development on Boston’s waterfront.
Amazon anticipates opening its new office in the 17-story, 525-square-foot building at Seaport Blvd. and Boston Wharf Rd. in 2021.
Amazon’s Rohit Prasad says, “In just a few years, we’ve grown from a handful of software developers and scientists to a team of more than 1,200, inventing new capabilities and products on behalf of millions of customers around the world.”
The Seattle-based firm’s teams based in the Boston metropolitan area primarily focus on Alexa, Amazon Web Services, and Audible. Together, with its customer fulfillment facilities, Amazon has created more than 3,500 jobs in Massachusetts, and since 2011 invested more than $400 million in the state.
