The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, could open new offices in Miami, a city to which he moved last November.
According to the medium The nationthe arrival of the businessman in South Florida, who moved to the exclusive residential area of Indian Creek Village – known as “the millionaires bunker”–, could mean a great advance for the city in terms of business.
Bezos has reportedly been trying to rent office space.
Recent reports from Bloomberg indicate that Bezos’ personal move will not only be limited to furniture, but to his immense 500 million dollar yacht and personal items, but Amazon could follow in their footsteps.
The technology giant would be considering opening new offices in Miami, a decision made before Bezos’ announcement about his return to Florida, the information says.
Bezos said he was sad to leave Seattle, where he founded the company and lived for 30 years, but that he wanted to be near his parents who live in Miami Since August.
The businessman also attended high school in that southern Florida city.
Some time ago it also emerged that Bezos will move part of the operations of his rocket company, Blue Origin, to Cape Canaveral, in central Florida.
Indian Creek, built to provide billionaires like Bezos a refuge away from big cities, also offers significant tax benefits.
Bezos’ new residence is an imposing estate with seven bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms, with views of the bay on one side and a golf course on the other.
Businessman Ken Griffin recently considered in statements to Bloomberg that Miami could unseat New York as the world’s financial center.
In his opinion, the Sunshine State has a political environment that encourages growth.
The businessman, who moved to the city last year and invested more than a billion dollars in a waterfront tower for the headquarters of Citadel, the multinational hedge fund and financial services company, said that in his opinion “Miami represents the future of the United States.”
In addition to Bezos, financial and technology companies have moved into the area or expanded their existing presence, including Citadel, Microsoft Corp. and private equity firm Thoma Bravo. Axios also notes that Eric Schmidt, former chairman and CEO of Google, moved to Miami.
