It's going to be in Loudoun County, this is a rumor. They're likely going to have offices in Arlington courting to government and contractors, but there isn't infrastructure in Arlington to support this.

Crystal City doesn't even remotely have enough room left for their HQ. And, there's a lot of well-connected companies that own real estate there that won't look too friendly upon using eminent domain to take their property for a song instead of what it's worth. Not seeing this happening.

The company is so close to making its choice that Crystal City’s top real estate developer, JBG Smith, has pulled some of its buildings off the leasing market and officials in the area have discussed how to make an announcement to the public this month, following the midterm elections, according to public and private-sector officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because Amazon has asked that the selection process remain confidential. The company may be having similar discussions with other finalists.
Two people close to the process said that if Crystal City was selected, Amazon was likely to move an initial group of several hundred employees into 1851 S. Bell St. or 1770 Crystal Dr., two dated office buildings that have been targeted for redevelopment but could be readied for occupancy by their owner, JBG Smith, in nine months or less. The bid also includes sites in Potomac Yard, in Alexandria. “There’s a lot of activity,” one individual close to the process said. The person added that people “seem really positive, and they seem pretty confident. . . . What we don’t know, maybe there are two or three other sites, and they’re doing the same thing. That’s what’s scary to people around here.” Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D), asked on WTOP Radio on Wednesday about speculation that Crystal City was the front-runner said: “A lot of us are anxiously awaiting a decision, an announcement from Amazon. . . . A lot of [Virginia government] resources are being expended right now, and I think for good reason.” But after publication of this story, Mike Grella, director of economic development for Amazon, posted on Twitter: “Memo to the genius leaking info about Crystal City, VA as #HQ2 selection. You’re not doing Crystal City, VA any favors. And stop treating the NDA you signed like a used napkin,” he said in reference to the nondisclosure agreements that Amazon required finalists to sign.

Amazon already owns tons of land near Dulles airport where they have data centers. Wouldn't be surprised if they chose the NOVA area.

I know Virginia Beach / Norfolk couldn't absorb that. |

There is one more unspoken criteria: where they can help turn a red state blue. Do not doubt the allure of this for Bezos and his acolytes.
