Amazon’s $5 billion headquarters battle has neighborhoods across New York all fired up: officials claim that no other city in North America has the space, ingenuity, or energy that it can offer. NYC’s Economic Development Corporation is currently sifting through the submissions, and one likely contender is the Industry City complex in Brooklyn.



“We know New York is the only city that can immediately meet Amazon’s needs for 50,000 of the most talented workers in the world,” said NYCEDC President and CEO James Patchett. “Now we know that New York can choose from dozens of potential headquarters sites with over 50 million square feet of office space to make the strongest possible bid. We continue to separate ourselves from the competition and demonstrate that we are the clear choice for Amazon’s second headquarters.”
