I overheard while walking past that Amazon will be on site tomorrow for a walk through of some sort.

I would like to see the grocery store open soon, so I don't have to drive to Safeway anymore.

No mention about them leaving any of their other leases?

Thanks.

Do those ceiling heights look low (or is it just all the exposed clutter up there).

I find it hilarious that at the 3 Amazon offices I've worked at in 3 different countries, the desks are always the same ones.

Seems like most of them are 11'8" on the upper floors.

A few of the lower levels vary from 11'3" to 12'5"

I guess everything is dropping under those horizontal beams? Is this one of the lower floors that maybe has to deal with beams that aren't present on the top floors?

Amazon Canada showcases new office tower amid layoffs, return to office pushback

Quote:

The upcoming debut of Amazon's newest office space at the former post office depot in downtown Vancouver is generating buzz among the city's business and tech sectors, despite mass layoffs in the industry and record-high office vacancy rates.

The south tower of The Post building at Georgia and Hamilton streets is scheduled to start welcoming 3,000 employees by September. The opening comes at a time when many companies are struggling to convince their employees to return to the office after work-from-home policies during the pandemic.

"What's important is that we recognize this as an adjustment," said Kristin Gable, senior manager of communications with Amazon Canada.

Amazon showcased the south tower of the new building to media earlier this week. It includes features like a community garden, dog parks and an outdoor basketball court.

The base of the tower will be open to the public and include a Loblaws supermarket, Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao, and fitness club Evolve Strength.

...

The north tower of the new building is expected to open in 2024.

In total, both towers will offer 1.1 million square feet of new office space for about 6,000 employees. It is the fifth downtown building for the company's 4,500 office-based employees.

During the tour, Gable wouldn't specify if the 6,000 employees were expected to come from Amazon's existing properties or if they would be new hires.

QuadReal Property Group, which owns the former post office and developed it into office space, says keeping historical elements like this mural was an essential part of the look and feel of the community space on the base floors of the building. (Ben Nelms/CBC)

Good spot on the I-beams, that means it's one of the levels in original structure.

That explains, it thanks.
The office pic posted by Sheba looks to have a much higher ceiling.

The two work station photos are of the same space but from opposite angles, on one of the new tower office floors.

Excellent ! One of the best Time Capsule Content Revealing that I've seen, all preserved nicely and good content.
What to they do now, reseal it and add a 2023 capsule to the 1955's, or is it to late for that with the building being completed?

Those items should be displayed at the Vancouver Museum for all to see.
