Google expanding again in Seattle, with new tower next to Amazon

1

Google, already set to become one of Seattle’s biggest employers, is expanding again right in the heart of Amazon country.

The Silicon Valley tech giant is going to take over a new 12-story, 322,000-square-foot office tower planned at the prominent corner of Mercer Street and Westlake Avenue in South Lake Union, across the street from a large Google office development being built now.

Paul Allen’s Vulcan Real Estate, which built the majority of South Lake Union’s tech center – from Amazon’s headquarters to new Facebook offices to the Google project underway now – is handling the latest Google development, as well, and announced the plans Tuesday.

There’s already 3 buildings under construction in that area. I thought Google was taking all 3. If that’s true, this would make 4. They also have offices in Kirkland.

@notabene are you still itching to move?

With the housing market stabilizing in South Bay, I’m halting a bit and pondering whether I should just settle down there and grow old. :sob:
