Montreal decent alternative. Montreal better fit metro rail aithe top notch kani Quebec francophonesbig -ve.. other option Ottawa which has lots of free land, diverse, bilingual receptive population, good infra, tech hub with good local tech force and very affordable.. It will be interesting to see how these cities present their case..
Canadian cities ki equal chances unnayi first HQ2 can be a global headquarter owing to immigration and diversity. Amazon can bring best and brightest from all around the world into new HQ2 very easily.. Next healthcare.. with Amazon working on secret healthcare projects Canada's universal healthcare offers a better platform to innovate from ground up..

Olympic:

How does the real estate market will be impacted with all these changes happening in the city? Looks like lot of research and planning went in to it, quite a surprise for city and law makers.




Edayina super analytical ga chese company...intha major decision lite ga teesukoru le. At a minimum this will get them some leverage against the crazy city council while simultaneously growing in a low cost market...other extreme this can become a stealth move over the next two decades.

Real estate impact...i think it will continue to the strong in the immediate future. Long term impacts always hard to tell as a lot things will change like economy, industry cycles, other companies expansion and contraction. The move impact will never directly be felt unless they move more than 10% of the work force in one shot.

Maverick:

Should we think googles expansion in seattle the same way?




No. Bay area companies have found it hard to move developers from Seattle to bay area. So, they have started building campuses. Google is really cash rich, they are not yet at stage where they are looking to trim costs.

Read this story of how Boeing started moving. Also, Boeing ki Seattle tappinchi they dont have the technicans and mechancis available anywhere other than in Seattle. Alaanti skills take a long time to develop in a new location...but they still built a 2nd plant. Software companies lo HR, Finance, Accounting, Product management, project management and most of software development relatively much more easy to move and replicate these days. Companies like Amazon rent out expensive building these days and they are bidding against themselves in real estate. In the new city they will have their own campus.

Shortly after Amazonâs proclamation, Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto announced that heâs âon it.â Jim Strickland, the mayor of Memphis, said his city will âabsolutely make a bid.â Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney said his East Coast metropolis would be a âprimeâ location for Amazon. In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has already spoken with Bezos to pitch him on the city, according to a report from Crainâs Chicago Business.

Local leaders in Missouri, including St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson, are putting together a regional team to try to bring Amazon to the area. Nashville Mayor Megan Barry is sending out teams to find potential spots for Amazon to put its new campus. Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin hinted that itâs time to redefine his city as officials in Rhode Island said they will be applying to bring Amazon to Providence. Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum will also be submitting a proposal, assuring his city that heâll do âwhatever it takes.â

http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/07/technology/amazon-second-hea dquarters-cities/index.html

Cities and regional economic development organizations have been invited to submit proposals, and several cities have already expressed interest in the possibility of Amazon's new headquarters coming to their turf.

A source close to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel told CNN Tech the mayor has spoken "several times" with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos about the second headquarters. Amazon declined to comment.

A spokesperson for the city of Chicago wouldn't comment on whether it will submit a proposal, but gave the following statement: "Chicago's unmatched workforce, world-class universities and unparalleled access to destinations throughout the world make it the perfect headquarters location for companies large and small. That's also why Chicago has led the nation in corporate relocations for the last four years."

Toronto's Mayor John Tory said in a statement that the city is a "prime candidate" for Amazon's second headquarters.

"We are a bold, innovative city that has plenty of homegrown tech talent. We also continue to attract talent and companies from around the world," he said. "I will be leading the charge to make the case that Amazon should call Toronto home."

The city's staff is also working with investment-attraction agency Toronto Global to put together "an attractive bid" for this opportunity.

Dallas said it has already contacted Amazon to express its interest.

"We will aggressively demonstrate that Dallas and our surrounding area would be the perfect spot for their expansive business needs. Amazon already has an extensive amount of business here. They've been good corporate citizens and we look forward to future conversations," Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said in a statement to CNN Tech.

Pittsburgh said it plans to "compete" for the new site and has already scheduled strategy sessions and started planning.

"With an unmatched portfolio of technological talent and intriguing development parcels, Pittsburgh is uniquely positioned to submit a winning bid for Amazon's facility. This is a transformational opportunity unlike any that we've ever seen," Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto said in a statement.

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the city of Boston confirmed it is reviewing the possibility of a submission.

A spokesperson for Columbus, Ohio -- which won the Department of Transportation's Smart City Challenge in 2016 -- said it was "intrigued by the prospect" but declined to comment further.

Amazon's announcement is also on Detroit's radar. The city said it is evaluating the opportunity carefully.

Not in 1 year uncle...that is over 15-17 years. Seattle nundi 10% employees move ayina 1st phase easily done. Seattle lo downtown parking kooda ivvadu...park and ride lo petti, van pool chesi nana kastalu padi eltaaru lot of people...vallu andaru max jump kottestaru.



Capital Investment: The Project could be over $5 billion in capital investment over the initial 15-17 years of the Project. Please note the capital investment required to acquire and retrofit an existing building is dependent upon the condition and nature of that building. As such, the following capital
investment estimates will vary depending upon site requirements and actual construction costs, particularly with respect to an existing building.
Building Phase Estimated Capital Investment
Phase I Building (500,000-1,000,000 sf) $300,000,000-$600,000,000
Phase II Building (1,000,000-2,000,000 sf) $600,000,000-$1,260,000,000
Phase III Building (2,000,000-3,000,000 sf) $1,260,000,000-$1,985,000,000
Phase IV and beyond will grow organically. At full build-out, the campus or park may exceed 8 million square feet and over $5 billion in total capital investment. Amazon will continue to invest in its facilities to ensure we offer a state-of-the-art workplace for our employees. States, provinces and
metro economic development organizations should consider this as they suggest potential sites. Be sure to include opportunities to cultivate local culture and creativity into the Amazon HQ2 site. Also, include connectivity options: sidewalks, bike lanes, trams, metro, bus, light rail, train, and additional
creative options to foster connectivity between buildings/facilities.

Idemanna Trump gaadi reality show na...inko 1 year lo lame duck ayyvadiki anta importance ivvadu...they will care about long term prospects of Amazon.

Boston nenu believe cheyyanu...it will be a slightly less expensive version of Seattle. I think they are looking for significant cost savings in the long run.

An astute GeekWire reader noted that Amazon may choose another state, like Washington, that does not have an income tax which would make it attractive for people transferring out of Seattle and new talent. Texas â along with Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming â does not have an income tax.

Boston: Thereâs a war for talent across the tech landscape, and perhaps no city produces as many top young minds in areas such as robotics, AI, computer vision, cloud computing as Boston.

Lines up with Amazon's future goals...

Dallas vallu Toyota move ni case study ga istaaru anukuntunna

Most of Toyotaâs employees at its headquarters in Southern California will make the move to its new North Texas campus next year in a sign that the company has succeeded in its quest for high retention rates, a top executive said.

âThus far itâs two-thirds to 70 percent, which for us is a great number,â said Jim Lentz, chief executive for Toyota Motor North America. âWeâre very happy with that number because it allows us to ensure that our culture continues, which is very, very important to us.â

âWe let everyone know when we made this move that if you wanted a job, you had a job,â Lentz said during an event at the Plano, Texas, site where the new headquarters is rapidly taking shape. The new campus is on schedule to open mid-year 2017.

In order to fill the jobs of the thousand or so employees that are leaving Toyota rather than make the move to Texas, the automaker has already posted about 350 positions on the careers area of its website and another 650 positions or so will be posted over time. Hiring has already begun, Lentz said.

Toyota employees from Southern California, Kentucky and New York were given nearly three years to make up their minds on the move and had the opportunity to fly out to Plano at the companyâs expense to check out their would-be new home.

âThey werenât pressured into making a decision,â Lentz said. âI think people underestimated just how good a place this is.â He said the cost of living and cost of housing were positive factors and that traffic was better than in most major cities.

âProbably the toughest thing to get used to is the weather,â Lentz said.

Why no one talking about chicago?




https://www.illinoispolicy.org/moving-out-illinois-has-count rys-worst-outbound-rate-in-2016/

Illinoisâ surging debts, rising property taxes, weak job creation and political dysfunction continue to be a boon to large moving companies United Van Lines and Atlas Van Lines. United and Atlas offer large shipment moves across the country for households and businesses. According to 2016 shipment data released by the two moving companies, Illinois has the worst âoutboundâ rate for total shipments in the entire country.

Using a combination of United and Atlasâ data, 62 percent of all shipments that touched Illinois were outbound, while only 38 percent were inbound. New York was the only other state with more than 60 percent of combined shipments being outbound.

If amazon wants to come in, GE may push back on it with the city. that could be one problem. actually, now that I think about it, GE was supposed to build a kickass new tower at a major expense, right in the FiDi. and they postponed it. maybe to threaten the city about amazon. :-)

Priority for Consideration (in no particular order):

Amazon will consider the following site/building categories for the Project:
1. Existing buildings of at least 500,000+ sq. ft., meeting the core requirements described above and that are expandable or have additional options for development nearby.
2. A greenfield site of approximately 100 acres certified or pad ready, with utility infrastructure in place. The sites do not have to be contiguous, but should be in proximity to each other to foster a sense of place and be pedestrian-friendly.
3. Other infill, existing buildings, including opportunities for renovation/redevelopment and greenfield sites, meeting the proximity and logistics requirements of the Project. This can also be a combination of the above.

Metropolitan areas with more than one million people
A stable and business-friendly environment
Urban or suburban locations with the potential to attract and retain strong technical talent
Communities that think big and creatively when considering locations and real estate options

HQ2 could be, but does not have to be:

An urban or downtown campus
A similar layout to Amazonâs Seattle campus
A development-prepped site. We want to encourage states and communities to think creatively for viable real estate options, while not negatively affecting our preferred timeline.

Amazon HQ2 will be a complete headquarters for Amazon â not a satellite office. Amazon expects to hire new teams and executives in HQ2, and will also let existing senior leaders across the company decide whether to locate their teams in HQ1, HQ2 or both. The company expects that employees who are currently working in HQ1 can choose to continue working there, or they could have an opportunity to move if they would prefer to be located in HQ2.

Amazon said it will consider greenfield sites as well as infill development areas.

The document said the company wants jurisdictions to âthink creatively for viable real estate options, while not negatively affecting our preferred timeline.â Among the companyâs requirements, are easy access to major highways, a location within 45 minutes of an international airport and direct mass transit access.

Amazon said its requirements would start with first phase of 500,000 square feet to 1 million square feet, but development of a campus rivaling the Seattle location is expected through 2027 and beyond.

Amazon said annual average compensation for the jobs is expected to be $100,000

Jobs would include software designers and engineers, corporate finance and executive roles.

Economic development officials have much to pitch in metro Atlanta. The region offers relatively afforadable real estate, both in terms of existing buildings and raw land, and a skilled labor force. Atlanta also has landed in recent years the North American headquarters of Mercedes-Benz, a division and software development center by Honeywell, the headquarters of GE Digital and a software center from health care giant Anthem.

A company said the response deadline to the RFP is Oct. 19, with a final decision expected next year. The company said it prefers a metro area of greater than 1 million residents and said it will consider âurban or suburbanâ locations to help attract and retain talent.

AJC
Amazon to set off incentives bidding war with second HQ search



E-commerce giant Amazon said Thursday itâs in the market to build a second North American headquarters, a massive complex the company says one day could hold 50,000 jobs.

Amazon, in a request for proposals on its website, said it wants its âHQ2â to be the âequalâ of its Seattle base of operations, which currently consists of 33 buildings covering more than 8 million square feet of office space. No doubt Georgia and Atlanta area officials will pitch for the project, and tout the regionâs talent base and research universities such as Georgia Tech.

Amazon has corporate offices in Atlanta, as well as fulfillment centers for package delivery. The companyâs recent acquisition of Whole Foods includes several Atlanta area locations.

The Thursday morning announcement set off the largest corporate jobs recruitment bonanza in modern memory. Itâs sure to ignite an incentives bidding war, and Amazonâs public launch of such a project sent a clear signal to state and local governments across North America: have your checkbooks ready.



Amazon asks governments to identify incentive programs such as tax credits, exemptions, grants for relocation and workforce and other cost reduction programs.

âThe initial cost and ongoing cost of doing business are critical decision drivers,â the document said.

Job recruitment is often a secretive business, but some companies have chosen of late to go public with their plans, and in effect creating open bidding wars. Automakers Toyota and Mazda announced plans for a U.S. plant this year, and companies such as Tesla, Boeing and ADM have made relocation or expansion plans public in recent years.

Corporate headquarters, particularly for such a massive company as Amazon, are coveted by lawmakers and business leaders for their quantity of high-paying jobs.

Basically signalling Seattle has got too expensive. Smallish office building leased by Amazon are being sold in 250-300 Million range. So, now they want their own campus like Microsoft.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein
