Amazon In Jersey City: What We Know About The Reported Deal
Amazon is targeting a lease at Mack-Cali's Harborside campus, according to a Bloomberg report.
JERSEY CITY, NJ — Amazon is looking to move into Jersey City, according to a Bloomberg report.
Amazon is targeting a lease at Mack-Cali's Harborside campus, right on Jersey City's waterfront, along with subleasing offices from JP Morgan in Manhattan's Hudson Yards, according to Bloomberg. The new offices are part of the company's expansion in the New York City region.
The possible deal is Jersey City's second chance at bringing the Fortune 500 company into the city, after a failed attempt in 2018. Jersey City was one of several cities that tried to win Amazon over in a bidding war for its "HQ2" location. The company settled on North Virginia after a messy pull-out of a potential location in Long Island City, Queens.
