Amazon plans to expand Colorado workforce, open new office in downtown Denver

Amazon announced Tuesday that it will expand its Denver Tech Hub and plans to open a new office in downtown Denver.

According to the Denver 7, Amazon is expected to create 400 new high-tech jobs in fields like software and hardware engineering, cloud computing and advertising.

To accommodate the new positions, Amazon plans to open a new office in downtown Denver. This comes in the wake of the company opening a new office in Boulder in the fall of 2018.

The new office, which will span 98,000 square feet, will be located in Invesco’s 1515 Wynkoop LEED Platinum building in the LoDo neighborhood.

There are currently more than 350 Amazon employees in the Denver area and more than 3,500 full-time jobs in the state.
