Amazon.com, which has had a support presence in South Africa since 2006, is set to move into new offices in Cape Town amid continuing expansion into the country.<\/p>\n

Although the online retail giant does not have a retail presence in South Africa as yet, it has been rapidly expanding its support network, tied to its Amazon EC2 ( Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) services. In 2012, the company opened a customer support centre in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

And as of February 2018, the group lists as many as 56 job openings available<\/a> in the Mother City.<\/p>\n

Speaking to eProp.co.za<\/a>, however, Chad Shapiro – the senior commercial broker for Lew Geffen Sotheby\u2019s International Realty in the CBD, City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard – confirmed that Amazon.com’s new local offices would be located on Roeland Street in the city.<\/p>\n

Shapiro said that the internet giant’s offices will be located in a new purpose built office where Viglietti Motors was previously situated. Scuderia House is currently under development by NMC Construction Group.<\/p>\n

Development on the building began in January 2017, with build time projected at 13 months – meaning a completion date for February 2018. However, the project has been delayed, with NMC entering into business rescue<\/a> in the latter part of 2017.<\/p>\n

Upon completion, Scuderia House will include five basement parking levels, one parking level above ground and seven commercial levels to be occupied by Amazon.<\/p>\n

This is how the building will look upon completion:<\/p>\n

The building is located around the corner from where Amazon’s Development Centre is currently situated.<\/p>\n
