City planners have approved the plans for three large globes that will be part of the new headquarters for Amazon.com in downtown Seattle.

The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce reports the connected globes will range from 80 to 95-feet tall and house retail space open to the public.

They'll be located on the same block as a 38-story Amazon office tower in the downtown area known as the Denny Triangle.
