In Long Island City, the documents designate a few blocks along the water where Amazon will plan to build its large new office. It hopes to eventually have four to eight million square feet worth of office space there. The spot was revealed in Amazon's agreements with the city, which the company made available for download as part of its HQ2 announcement.
The location is near a ferry terminal on land currently occupied by a mix of both privately and publicly owned buildings. It looks out at Manhattan across Roosevelt Island and the East River.
