This is a strange comment to read as a Vancouverite. Amazon’s has thousands of employees for years now, they had 600 jobs open last I checked. Microsoft’s main downtown office has one of the most prominent locations in the city, plus a huge sign. Those huge secondary locations are already here.
Ah. Amazon has had multiple offices downtown for a long time, and Microsoft has 2 large ones (the City Centre one and the Yaletown one near BC Place). But yes, they are still expanding.
I'm not too familiar with that, but I'm thinking in particular of Microsoft's new Mt. Pleasant office (I think) and the Amazon office going into the old Canada Post building at a large scale.
