Amazon.com<\/a> is currently looking to expand its headquarter operations in Seattle with construction plans which will cover three blocks, and include sprouting up 3 tower skyscrapers.<\/p>\n

According to a report by the Seattle Times, the proposed new skyscrapers will stand out from the surrounding city scape by adopting bright and bold colours – a design which will cover all the buildings part of the planned expansion.<\/p>\n

Additionally, according to Vulcan Real Estate, Amazon will buy 11 buildings that the South Lake Union developer built as part of the online retailer’s Seattle headquarters.<\/p>\n

In the deal, Amazon will pay Vulcan $1.16 billion for 11 buildings which contain 1.8 million square feet in South Lake Union in Seattle. These will be Amazon’s first owned buildings with the entire project occupying a reported total of 3.3 million square feet.<\/p>\n
