Amazon Office II/SeaPAC | 1 Boston Wharf Rd. (Seaport Sq Parcel L5) | Seaport

[lexicon506]

The recent news about Takeda sponsoring the new performing arts venue at 585 Kendall made me wonder.. what's happening with the so-called SeaPAC in this building? Haven't heard a single peep about opening, programming, operator, etc. even though it should be nearly complete. Seems strange for what's meant to be the Seaport's most significant new cultural institution since the ICA.

Amazon’s delayed move into a second Seaport office building appears to be on track for next year, with millions of dollars of new interior work now permitted.

The company received building permits this month for nearly $32 million in work, including offices, conference rooms and amenity spaces, as well as mechanical, electrical and fire safety systems.

I hope that Amazon puts up a big, bright sign on the top of their building with their logo. Just came back from Montreal and noticed how many signs there are on the top of buildings, it's helpful to know what is in the building.

Amazon subleasing Seaport building, another blow to office market - The Boston Globe

An office lease that once shone as one of few bright spots amid gloomy pandemic times and promised at least 3,000 new jobs is now being cut in half.

Technology behemoth Amazon.com Inc. will no longer occupy about half of an office in Boston’s Seaport District, where it once planned to hire 3,000 people. Amazon is subleasing about 375,000 square feet of 1 Boston Wharf Road, a 17-story building the company was slated to fully occupy next year.
Amazon’s partial exit from the space comes less than a year after CEO Andy Jassy moved leadership of the company’s Alexa AI development from Boston to Seattle. Rohit Prasad, who’d been running that group in the Seaport, left at the end of last year. (This week, he joined the Waltham robotics firm Boston Dynamics as chief executive.)
Amazon’s Seaport “tech hub” was big news back in 2022. An adjacent property at 111 Harbor Way has 480,000 square feet and is occupied by Amazon employees.
That first lease was set to receive some $25 million in state and city tax breaks in exchange for creating thousands of jobs, but there was no similar agreement for the 1 Boston Wharf office.
