What they could also do, if they don't want to ride commercial property prices, is bundle the property in a fund, and have it owned/managed by selling shares, but with the caveat that Amazon is effectively on 'rent control' and gets an infinite lease, until it decides to bail out.

What they will likely do, is stop buying property for a while and just wait it out until the need for the capacity is there.

They don't really need tricks, they can just keep growing the business or just sell it at a loss, write it off and move on.
