Amazon is restarting construction on a Bellevue office tower, as its Eastside workforce continues to grow and its presence in Seattle shrinks.
The company announced Thursday it had resumed construction on Sonic — a 42-story building that will accommodate more than 4,500 employees when complete.
Amazon opened the first 20 floors of the building to employees in September but construction on the remaining space has been on hold since July 2022, part of a temporary halt on some future construction for its Bellevue campus. That pause remains in place for other Bellevue buildings, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed this week.
Amazon expects construction for the next 22 floors of Sonic to be completed before the end of the year.
