Yet the metropolis has still managed to offer up 62.5 million square feet of vacant space where Amazon could choose to build its second headquarters, dubbed HQ2.

New York City is one of 238 cities and regions to submit a bid for Amazon's $5 billion campus. The company has said that it will select a North American city in early 2018, and expects to bring 50,000 jobs.

The city offered four sites, though Amazon would likely only choose one neighborhood or borough. The city faces a lot of competition, but it has a better shot than some others.

Check out the city's proposal below.
