Until the new building is delivered, Amazon rented 3,000 square meters in Unique Building in the center of Iasi, near the Palas complex, the sources added.
Amazon’s development center in Iasi has four departments: technology development, compliance operations, retail services and digital imaging, employing almost 1,000 people.
The expansion in Iasi would therefore enable Amazon to increase the number of employees to at least 1,800, double as many as at the beginning of last year. The 5,000 square meters will most likely be rented in a project developed by entrepreneur Iulian Dascalu again, considering Amazon is currently renting some 13,000 square meters in Palas Iasi, another Dascalu development.
Last April Amazon inaugurated Bucharest offices, where it rented 13,000 square meters in the A building of Global Campus.
