Wework opens the largest work site in the world
The complex will open in Tel Aviv in the Alon Premium Towers and will be 27,000 square meters in size. The opening is expected to be in late 2018
In Manhattan's Financial District, this ten-story coworking space at City Hall puts you right across the street from the Fulton Center transit hub. You’ll have easy access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, Z, N, and R subway lines—other lines a mere 10-minute walk. The proximity of government offices and city courts makes this location ideal for lobbyists and lawyers, but it attracts everyone from one-person startups to huge corporations across all industries. One look and you’ll see how this New York office space keeps that buttoned-up, professional feeling without losing that youthful charisma.
Open and airy, the space at City Hall is playful but refined. Each floor is themed differently—you’ll move from indoor park to whimsical circus to mid-century modern as you move on up. The views in every direction from this towering building are unbelievable: to the north—there’s the Empire State Building, to the east—the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, and to the west—One World Trade Center. Miguel McKelvey, one of WeWork’s founders, even helped spray paint the thousands of floppy disks in the elevator lobby. Take your break to the next level at the old-school video game lounge on the 21st floor. It’s got a 4TV array and classic Nintendo installed for your gaming pleasure. You’ll be hard pressed to find workspace as energizing as this, especially in the Financial District.
The compound has multiple lounges that are living-room-style spaces designed for creativity, comfort, and productivity
The compound is located near restaurants, bars & coffee shops

To the full article at Architectural digestI work here and I like it. The places is well maintained and its a great place if you need some energy around you. There are many offices around doing different things, production, fintech, adtech, coffee, delivery, clothing, apparel, etc. I like that they have free coffee included but it's not cold brew, is my only qualm so I would go get coffee downstairs at the starbucks. There is also a Pret now located next door. There is a lot of good food options around too, and the oculus is right there if you need to do some quick shopping during the day. The other place that is a zoo but is worth it is Century 21. I do also love how close the fulton street subway stop is (across the street) so in the winter you don't have to go there with a coat, just walk across the street and there is a great sushi place downstairs that does take away. I'm a big fan. Also not to mention the views, we were on the 26th floor and everyday I worked here I felt very lucky to be able to see the empire state building, World trade center, and the brooklyn and manhattan bridge!
The WeWork team will do anything to make this co-working space a great place!
Building closes to the public at 6, so if you're a visitor you'll need to be picked up by a friend in the lobby after that.
We visited a friend who has set up shop here. If you are looking for a coworking space, this is great. There are office spaces to rent as well as some comfy lounge space near a coffee bar (with beer on tap). The location is great, too -- just a short subway ride from Brooklyn.
Such a cool experience! I attended a training session at a WeWork office in July. It couldn't have been easier to get to the office, great meeting room, cool vibe in the building, friendly and knowledgeable approach to customer service and a NO technology issues during the all day training session. That's almost unheard of! I'd recommend this company to anyone who needs to hold a meeting or have an office space from time to time!
