This conflates two things.

1. Amazon is (already) leasing a big building in Seaport. It's mostly Alexa, ~500-1k staff.

2. Amazon is shopping cities for a 50k-person second headquarters; one candidate site is the old Suffolk Downs in revere.

For many reasons, i hope (2) does not come to pass.

There's a building in Fort Point, but apparently they're looking to lease yet another one. [1]
