Denver isn't an option on this thread, but I'm going with Denver.
Don't you think it's too central? I sort of think they'll go more east coast-south east? Could be wrong, but thinking Boston or Atlanta on this...they may be front runners. With dark horses being Minneapolis or Nashville...

Depends on what the end game really is. If they truly want co-equal "headquarters" then Denver may be too close to Seattle, but if "HQ2" is a smokescreen for transitioning execs out of Seattle then Denver is a great choice.
Interesting read, however, they are wrong about DC not having the space or willingness to pay. In fact, DC has the 8.1 million square feet of office space right now shovel ready within walking distance with the best transportation access to the site in the entire nation. Does Denver? If so, where and what is the transportation package? DC also has one of the most lucrative incentive packages for tech companies in the whole nation:
That's how we got Yelp this summer. From the Mayor:
“D.C. is open for business and we believe we check the boxes for Amazon’s request for a second headquarters with our highly educated workforce, expanding business community and thriving tech sector. We are evaluating the RFP to determine next steps.”
Hilarious that they eliminated Philadelphia for job growth, yet it has had higher job growth than NYC and San Francisco the past few years... hmmmm... somebody needs to do their research!
All of this space is either under construction by spec or waiting for tenants to break ground. Phase I, II, and IV are all within a 5 block radius. Phase III is within 10 blocks.
