Mayor Naheed Nenshi says Amazon, the popular online shopping powerhouse, needs look no further than Calgary for real estate to build its proposed new headquarters. Amazon has put out a call for North American cities to bid on the project, a call Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi says the city is ready to answer. Nenshi said a non-disclosure agreement prohibits Calgary Economic Development from revealing details of the city's talks with Amazon. (Reuters)"There are opportunities to build on bare ground, there are opportunities to move into existing buildings … there are also suburban opportunities," Nenshi said. But Nenshi said daily direct flights between Calgary and Amazon's homebase in Seattle puts Calgary above other HQ2 contenders.
