Amazon to Buy Headquarter Buildings for $1.2 Billion
Amazon.com Inc. has agreed to buy a large chunk of its Seattle headquarters for $1.2 billion from an investment firm owned by Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen, the firm said Friday.
Vulcan Inc. had been marketing the 11-building campus, which it built over the past half decade for the online retailer, seeking one or more buyers for the buildings. Amazon has been leasing the space.
