Amazon HQ2 Split Makes Better Sense

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Michael Shustek, a leading real estate investment company executive,
sees word of Amazon’s potential split for growth with its second
headquarters as a “win-win.”

“For Amazon, a split with two locations for their next headquarters will
increase its worker pool, maximize subsidies and gain the best of both
worlds for the locations chosen,” says Shustek, CEO of The Parking REIT.
“As Amazon is in final negotiations with a few key regions, there is
also word of South Florida as a key location and it has close proximity
to Latin America and major transportation hubs as well.”

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Jimenez has told The Miami Herald, “There
has not been radio silence.” South Florida business leaders are buzzing
about HQ2 in the tri-county region including Fort Lauderdale and West
Palm Beach. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is originally from the Miami area and
graduated from Palmetto High School.

“It is a brilliant idea to divide the Amazon headquarters,” says
Shustek, an investor in South Florida himself. “With our country’s low
unemployment, for a company to hire a large pool of high-caliber people
in one area, well, that could be a daunting task.”

Shustek says that separation between subsidiaries of Amazon is a great
idea. Amazon probably wouldn’t replicate the same jobs or services at
each site.

“It is hard to doubt a trillion-dollar market cap company,” said
Shustek. “This is not a public relations stunt. PR stunts could be
handled much cheaper. This is a large business diversifying
geographically, and expanding its talent pool and incentives into
multiple regions.”
