Amazon.com Inc is searching for a site for a major corporate office in the US, a development expected to house as many as 50,000 people and to be equal in size to its current Seattle headquarters. 

The cost of what Amazon is billing as its “second company headquarters in North America" is expected to top US$5bil (RM21.04bil) over the next 15 to 17 years, the company said.
