Amazon welcomed the first group of employees to its Metropolitan Park offices in Arlington, Virginia on May 22. Metropolitan Park is the first phase in the construction of our second headquarters, and the project includes two office buildings (named Jasper and Merlin), public parks and playgrounds, retail space for 14 locally owned businesses, and amenities for the community like a half mile of protected bike lanes and additional pedestrian walkways.
We caught up with several employees who came to the office for the opening of Metropolitan Park’s Merlin building in May. Here are some of the spaces and features they’re most excited about so far.
