Here's a fun article from pre-covid about Amazon buying Vancouver's old post office building. They gutted the historic building and left only the outer shell.

Adding an estimated 4.2 million square feet of office space in one of the most expensive cities and pro-WFH cities in the world.

And were only expecting to use 1.1 million of that.
