Amazon’s PenPlace design earns key approval, heads into final stretch of reviews
PenPlace, the 3.2 million-square-foot second phase of Amazon.com Inc.’s second headquarters, has earned the key support of Arlington County staff as it heads into its final stretch of reviews. During the last Site Plan Review Committee meeting Thursday, Peter Schulz, a staffer with the Arlington planning division, said “staff has no major outstanding issues” with regard to PenPlace’s architecture and landscape design. “We would like to continue to work with the applicant on some minor things, including the security measures to make sure they’re in harmony with the wonderful design that they’ve proposed for the public space and for the architecture of the buildings,” Schulz said after members of Amazon’s design teams, NBBJ and Scape, presented their final designs.
