New York City's HQ2 bid is offering sites in Midtown West, the Financial District, the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, and Long Island City, according to the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
In Midtown West, the city says there is over 26 million square feet of space — in a range of building types from office towers to "historic gems" — for Amazon. There is over 13 million square feet of space available in Long Island City, and 8.5 million square feet of potential space in the Financial District in Lower Manhattan.
Finally, there is over 15 million square feet available for HQ2 in the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, which includes DUMBO, the Brooklyn Navy Yards, and Downtown Brooklyn. The bid doesn't include specific design plans for any of the proposed sites.
"The case for New York City is simple: we are the global capital of commerce, culture and innovation," NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote in a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, included with the proposal. "No city has a greater diversity of talent, of industries, and of collisions that fuel great ideas and companies."
