re:Invent is a 37-story high-riseoffice building on theAmazon headquarters campus inSeattle, Washington, United States. It opened in 2019 and houses 5,000 employees as one of three major high-rise towers on Amazon's campus in theDenny Triangle neighborhood north ofDowntown Seattle.
The site, located between theAmazon Spheres andWestlake Avenue, was formerly home to aToyota car dealership that moved toSoDo in 2015. Unlike its neighboring towers,Doppler andDay One, construction of the third tower was delayed while the existing dealership building was re-used as a hub forPrime Now deliveries.[3] The Prime Now hub was relocated to SoDo in October 2016 and construction on the third tower began the following month.[4]
The building opened in June 2019 and was named "re:Invent" for an annual cloud computing conference hosted by Amazon. It houses 5,000 employees, primarily working for the company's cloud computing platform,Amazon Web Services, and also has ground-level retail spaces.[5] It includes a plaza with fountains and a bronze sculpture byGerard Tsutakawa.[6]
One of the retail spaces in the building is an Amazon 4-star store that sells items rated four stars or higher. It opened in August 2019.[7] Afood hall operated by San Francisco-basedChina Live was announced to occupy 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2) of the building's retail space in February 2020, but was later delayed and ultimately cancelled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[8]
In November 2023, theGage Academy of Art announced that it would move into the vacant ground-level retail space at re:Invent in mid-2024. The 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) facility will serve 3,000 students. Other retail spaces in the complex are filled byGlassybaby and record labelSub Pop's store.[9]
