On Monday, the New York Times reported that Amazon planned to split its second headquarters between Crystal City, VA and Long Island City, NY.
In light of the news, attention is once again cast on Jeff Bezos's Washington, D.C. home, which is currently under construction.
Below, what we know about those renovations.
In 2016, Jeff Bezos paid $23 million for a 27,000-square-foot mansion in Washington, D.C., and the blueprints for a major renovation the billionaire Amazon founder and owner of the Washington Post is undertaking have just been revealed.
The former Textile Museum, located in the hot neighborhood of Kalorama (the Obamas and Jared and Ivanka Kushner are residents), is undergoing a $12 million and expansion that began last year, Washingtonian reports.
The magazine got its hands on blueprints for the renovations through a public-records request, and they show that the project includes 25 bathrooms, 11 bedrooms, five living rooms, two kitchens, two libraries, two workouts, two elevators, and a ballroom.
Bezos, who continues to use Seattle as his home base, is combining what are now two separate properties that date to the early 1900s into an East Coast pied-à-terre for his family.
