Amazon is resuming construction on a 42-story office tower in Bellevue, aiming to accommodate over 4,500 employees amid a shift to hybrid work.
Despite expanding in Bellevue, Amazon plans not to increase its footprint in Seattle, where office vacancy rates continue to rise.
The Bellevue expansion is part of Amazon's broader strategy to adapt to the hybrid work model and manage its office space more efficiently.
Amazon's decision to resume construction reflects a broader trend among tech companies adjusting their office space in response to the pandemic.
Investors respond positively to Amazon's strategic moves, with the company's stock gaining over 78% in the last 12 months.
