Amazon’s Arlington HQ2 Opens With 2M-SF Office Space

Amazon’s HQ2 in Arlington, Virginia, opened its first phase, Metropolitan Park. The development features two 22-story office towers with a total of two million square feet of office space, accommodating 8,000 employees.

Metropolitan Park includes a playground, green space, and a retail area on the ground floor with minority- and women-owned small businesses. The space also offers meeting areas for Amazon employees, a rooftop garden, ample bike racks, and electric vehicle charging stations.

The office towers are powered by 100% renewable energy.

The second phase, named Penn Place, is currently on hold due to layoffs and changes in the remote work landscape. Amazon aims to have 25,000 employees at HQ2 by 2030.
