Amazon New York, Technology office in Midtown Manhattan, United States.
Amazon New York is a thirteen-story office building in Midtown Manhattan featuring collaborative workspaces, conference rooms, and a rooftop terrace with views of the skyline. The ground floor includes retail space while the interior operates on a flexible desk arrangement for employees.
The building originally housed the Lord & Taylor department store starting in 1914 before receiving landmark status in 2007. After this designation, Amazon undertook a major transformation to convert it into their New York headquarters.
The building displays textile-inspired artwork across multiple floors, including a nine-story thread sculpture and pieces by local artists. This artistic approach creates a bridge between the site's craft heritage and its present-day technology focus.
The site is easily accessible by public transportation and located in a central business district with many nearby amenities. Visitors should note this is an active office building, so access to certain areas may be restricted.
The building features an AWS Builder Studio where visitors can explore Amazon Web Services technologies through interactive displays and virtual reality demonstrations. This space offers insights into advanced cloud technology that many visitors would not expect when thinking of a traditional office building.
