4 4. Please also consider the overall proximity of the buildings at full build-out as you are making recommendations. Capital Investment: The Project could be over $5 billion in capital investment over the initial 15-17 years of the Project. Please note the capital investment required to acquire and retrofit an existing building is dependent upon the condition and nature of that building. As such, the following capital investment estimates will vary depending upon site requirements and actual construction costs, particularly with respect to an existing building. Building Phase Estimated Capital Investment Phase I Building (500,000-1,000,000 sf) $300,000,000-$600,000,000 Phase II Building (1,000,000-2,000,000 sf) $600,000,000-$1,260,000,000 Phase III Building (2,000,000-3,000,000 sf) $1,260,000,000-$1,985,000,000 Phase IV and beyond will grow organically. At full build-out, the campus or park may exceed 8 million square feet and over $5 billion in total capital investment. Amazon will continue to invest in its facilities to ensure we offer a state-of-the-art workplace for our employees. States, provinces and metro economic development organizations should consider this as they suggest potential sites. Be sure to include opportunities to cultivate local culture and creativity into the Amazon HQ2 site. Also, include connectivity options: sidewalks, bike lanes, trams, metro, bus, light rail, train, and additional creative options to foster connectivity between buildings/facilities. Additional Information: Sustainability: Amazon is committed to sustainability efforts. Amazon’s buildings in its current Seattle campus are sustainable and energy-efficient. The buildings’ interiors feature salvaged and locally sourced woods, energy-efficient lighting, composting and recycling alternatives as well as public plazas and pockets of green space. Twenty of the buildings in our Seattle campus were built using LEED standards. Additionally, Amazon’s newest buildings use a ‘District Energy’ system that utilizes recycled heat from a nearby non-Amazon data center to heat millions of square feet of office space – a system that is about 4x more efficient than traditional heating. This system is designed to allow Amazon to warm just over 4 million square feet of office space on Amazon’s four-block campus, saving 80 million kilowatt-hours over 20 years, or about 4 million kilowatt-hours a year. We also invest in large solar and wind operations and were the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy in the U.S. in 2016. Amazon will develop HQ2 with a dedication to sustainability. Connectivity: Ensuring optimal fiber connectivity is paramount at our HQ2 location. Please demonstrate the fiber connectivity on all submitted sites. Also, demonstrate multiple cellular phone coverage maps to ensure optimal service.
