Amazon Headquarters & Office Locations: Full 2026 Directory

Amazon's primary headquarters is in Seattle, Washington — specifically the South Lake Union campus anchored at 410 Terry Avenue North — but the company operates a second full headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, and maintains major corporate offices across more than 30 countries. If you're trying to understand where Amazon actually operates, a single address doesn't cover it. This directory covers every major location, what happens there, and the headcount behind each.

Where is Amazon headquartered?

Amazon is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company's main campus sits in the South Lake Union neighborhood, centered around 410 Terry Avenue North — a address that has become synonymous with the company since it relocated there from its original Beacon Hill offices in the early 2000s.

The Seattle campus is unmistakable: it includes the famous Spheres, three interconnected glass domes filled with more than 40,000 plants, which serve as a workspace and gathering space for employees. The campus spans roughly 12 million square feet across dozens of buildings in a six-block radius and houses Amazon's senior leadership team, including the CEO's office.

Seattle remains the operational and cultural center of Amazon's corporate identity. Product, engineering, finance, legal, and HR leadership are all based here. When Amazon refers to its "headquarters," this is what it means — though the company is careful these days to acknowledge that HQ2 in Virginia is a co-equal second headquarters, not a satellite.

Where is Amazon HQ2 and what happens there?

Amazon HQ2 is located in Arlington, Virginia, in a neighborhood called National Landing — a rebranded area straddling Crystal City and Pentagon City, directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The first phase of the campus, called Metropolitan Park, opened in 2023.

The HQ2 project was one of the most publicized corporate real estate decisions in history. After a widely covered selection process that attracted bids from 238 cities across North America, Amazon announced in 2018 that it had chosen Arlington. The decision came with a commitment to create at least 25,000 jobs with an average salary above $150,000 — and Virginia offered over $750 million in incentives to secure it.

"Metropolitan Park marks a new chapter for Amazon and for Arlington. This campus was designed from day one as a place where diverse teams could invent on behalf of customers for decades to come."

— John Schoettler, VP of Global Real Estate and Facilities, Amazon (at the HQ2 Phase 1 opening, 2023)

At full build-out, HQ2 is projected to include 8 million square feet of office space across multiple phases, with a second tower — nicknamed "PenPlace" — that was paused in 2023 amid broader real estate restructuring. The teams based in Arlington span software development, operations, policy, and AWS divisions, making it a genuine second nerve center rather than a regional outpost.

What does the Amazon Seattle campus include?

The Seattle campus is not a single building — it's an urban neighborhood that Amazon has effectively built around itself over the past two decades. Key locations include:

• Day 1 Tower — Amazon's tallest Seattle building at 37 stories, housing the executive floor and named after Jeff Bezos's long-running "Day 1" philosophy.
• The Spheres — Three glass biospheres at 2111 7th Avenue, open to employees as a non-traditional workspace. Not a tourist attraction, but visible from the street and one of Seattle's most recognizable modern structures.
• Doppler, Rufus, and other named buildings — Amazon names its buildings after internal project codenames; the campus includes over 40 buildings in South Lake Union.
• Amazon Go stores and dining facilities — Several Amazon Go cashierless convenience stores and cafes serve as both employee amenities and live product test environments.

According to reporting by The Seattle Times, Amazon at its peak occupied nearly a fifth of all top-tier office space in Seattle — more than the next 40 largest employers in the city combined. That footprint has contracted modestly since 2023 as Amazon has subleased some space, but Seattle remains the dominant campus by a wide margin.

What are Amazon's major US office locations outside Seattle and Arlington?

Beyond its two headquarters, Amazon maintains significant corporate offices across the United States. These are not fulfillment centers — they're offices where product, engineering, sales, and operations teams are based.

New York City

Amazon has a major presence in Manhattan, with offices at 7 West 34th Street and additional space in the Hudson Yards area. The NYC office houses advertising sales, media, fashion, and AWS enterprise sales teams. It's one of the largest non-HQ Amazon offices in the country.

Bellevue, Washington

Just across Lake Washington from Seattle, Bellevue has become Amazon's overflow campus. Amazon has signed leases for several million square feet in Bellevue's downtown core, with teams including Alexa, Amazon Music, and various AWS divisions based there. Bellevue is functionally an extension of the Seattle headquarters ecosystem.

Austin, Texas

Amazon's Austin office focuses on operations, customer service technology, and corporate support functions. The company has been expanding its Texas footprint and Austin houses thousands of employees across multiple facilities.

Nashville, Tennessee

Amazon moved its Operations and Customer Service HQ to Nashville in 2020, as part of a deal that brought approximately 5,000 jobs to the city. The Nashville hub handles global supply chain, transportation, and last-mile delivery operations leadership.

Sunnyvale and Cupertino, California

Amazon's Silicon Valley presence is centered in Sunnyvale, where Lab126 — the hardware division responsible for Kindle, Echo, and Fire devices — is headquartered. This is the primary location for Amazon's consumer electronics R&D.

Where are Amazon's major international offices?

Amazon's international corporate footprint is substantial. Amazon's 2024 annual report notes operations across 58 countries, with corporate offices (distinct from fulfillment and logistics) concentrated in the following cities:

London, United Kingdom

Amazon's London office at 1 Principal Place in Shoreditch is one of the largest outside North America. It houses AWS EMEA sales, Amazon Advertising, Prime Video UK, and corporate support teams. London is the de facto headquarters for Amazon's European consumer business.

Luxembourg

Amazon's European Union headquarters is in Luxembourg, which handles EU tax, legal, and regulatory compliance. This is the registered entity for Amazon EU Sàrl, the entity through which most European marketplace sellers transact.

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is Amazon's EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) hub for customer service, cloud operations, and corporate functions. AWS's EMEA headquarters is also Dublin-based.

Bangalore and Hyderabad, India

India is one of Amazon's largest engineering hubs globally. The Bangalore and Hyderabad offices together employ tens of thousands of software engineers, with teams contributing to AWS, Amazon.in, Alexa, and core platform infrastructure. Amazon has stated India is one of its most important long-term investment markets.

Toronto, Canada

Amazon's Toronto office focuses on Alexa AI research, AWS development, and Canadian marketplace operations. Toronto has grown into a significant machine learning and AI research location for the company.

Tokyo, Japan

Amazon Japan is headquartered in Tokyo's Meguro district and manages one of the company's top-five international marketplaces by revenue. Tokyo also houses AWS Japan and Prime Video Japan operations.

How can B2B sales teams use Amazon's office locations?

For SDRs targeting enterprise accounts, Amazon's office structure matters more than it might seem. Different buying centers for enterprise software — cloud infrastructure, HR tech, sales tools, marketing platforms — sit in different locations. AWS procurement is largely in Seattle and Dublin. Marketing technology buying happens in New York and London. Device and hardware vendor decisions run through Sunnyvale.

If you're prospecting into Amazon or targeting companies in Amazon's supplier and partner ecosystem, knowing which office owns which budget is the difference between reaching the right team and getting routed to a dead end. The same logic applies if Amazon is a competitor of yours — the teams evaluating alternatives to your product are concentrated in specific locations, not spread evenly across 58 countries.

For sales teams tracking which companies are using specific tools or vendors — including identifying Amazon as a customer of a competitor — a tool like Stealery lets you search by company and see which competing products they're confirmed to be using, filtered by location and company size. That's useful whether you're selling into Amazon or selling to companies in the same space.

Where is AWS headquartered and where are its main offices?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is technically a division of Amazon, not a separate company, but it operates with significant independence and has its own office footprint. AWS is headquartered in Seattle alongside the Amazon parent, but its key operational hubs are distributed:

• Seattle, WA — AWS leadership and core product teams
• Arlington, VA (HQ2) — AWS public sector and government cloud teams, given the proximity to federal agencies
• Dublin, Ireland — AWS EMEA headquarters
• Singapore — AWS APAC headquarters
• Herndon, Virginia — AWS GovCloud operations and federal compliance teams

AWS enterprise sales teams are embedded in most major metro areas — New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta — because the sales motion requires proximity to enterprise customers. If you're targeting AWS's competitive accounts (companies evaluating AWS vs. Azure vs. GCP), those conversations happen locally, not out of Seattle.
