Given that Amazon is now the owner of Whole Foods Market, a downtown location makes sense, but Johnson wouldn't comment on that. Construction is already underway on the project, and Amazon is set to move in by the summer of 2020. As Amazon has grown in Seattle, it has gobbled up nearly every piece of available real estate in the South Lake Union neighborhood and more recently in the Denny Triangle, where it is building a multi-block campus. With those areas becoming more constrained, Amazon has started looking to the downtown core.
