Amazon's HQ2 at PenPlace Has Been Approved
The Arlington County Board unanimously approved Amazon’s plans for HQ2 on Saturday. The ambitious design is to build a unique, helix-shaped tower as the flagship of its emerging second headquarters in northern Virginia.
Amazon announced the plans in February of last year for the 350-foot tower in the second phase of its redevelopment plans. The new development will support a second headquarters for Amazon that is expected to welcome more than 25,000 workers when it’s complete.
The helix design features a walkable ramp that wraps around the building, with trees and greenery planted to resemble a mountain hike mimicking the grade of an Appalachian clifftop. The outdoor mountain climb will be open to residents on weekends.
The plans also approved neighboring office buildings, retail space, a high school, and a public park
Amazon hopes to complete the project in 2025.
