Amazon's Lab126, a research and development unit, is moving into offices at 75 East Santa Clara St. in downtown San Jose.

Lab126 has taken at least the eighth floor in one of the Towers @ 2nd buildings and may be eyeing an additional floor, sources told the Mercury News. The eighth floor has about 14K SF. Two floors could house about 140 employees.
