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 one of the borough’s fastest growing neighborhoods, WeWork Dumbo Heights is Brooklyn office space full of productive energy. The location consists of two industrial-style buildings connected by a skybridge: Prospect, with nine coworking floors, and Sands, with four. Businesses ranging from music to software to clothing call this space their home. It’s easy to find, with the York Street F subway station just around the corner and the High Street A,C station a short walk away.
Formerly a hub for Jehovah’s Witness printing, the complex in Dumbo Heights has become a mixed-use campus—perfect for WeWork's vision of the future of office space. The designs celebrate the subtleties of the existing architecture like its iconic green windows, as well as the amazing views. From the upper floors, sights extend to the Williamsburg Bridge and beyond to the Manhattan skyline. Each floor at Prospect has a different custom art piece by Lunch Money, our professional muralist team. The colorful common area features an espresso bar with its own barista, and space for ping-pong, foosball, and even an Xbox. A room for new mothers is a nice perk too. If you want office space where you’ll immediately feel at home, you can’t beat WeWork Dumbo Heights.
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 BloombergI've been a member (hot desk) of this location about 5 months now. There's something inspiring about working around other entrepreneurs, startups, and thriving businesses. I like working out of coffee shops too, but I feel most productive here because everyone around me is in work mode. I work for myself and find this kind of environment conducive to keeping me on track. One thing I appreciate about Dumbo Heights is how the staff sets up regular free events and workshops, from accounting tips to driving traffic to your website to happy hour socializing. Free coffee AND beer. Snacks available for purchase, plus they bring in vendors for lunch almost every weekday. They have a coffee bar too (shout out to Renee for keeping me caffeinated!).
I actually don’t work at WeWork Dumbo but If I had the chance, I absolutely would. The space is beautiful and the staff is amazing. I work for The Infatuation and we had an art show/ portrait studio event here with about 200 people and it went off so smoothly thanks to the huge, beautiful space and the cool people who work here. Will definitely be back soon!
To say that I enjoy working at WeWork Dumbo Heights would be an understatement. The management team and support staff are amazing. The facility is conveniently located within a quick walk to subways and buses. Whether you're a not-for-profit organization or a for-profit business, this is a great place to work and network. So, if you're thinking about renting space here at the Dumbo Heights site, stop thinking about it and just do it. You will not be disappointed. I promise!
I've been here a year and will continue to be here for the foreseeable future. Really great group of creative, talented individuals with tons of opportunity to network, share a beer and create friendships. The facility is usually in pretty good shape. Two complaints. 1. There is a beautiful roofdeck that we are not allowed to use for no clear reason. 2. Employee turnover is pretty aggressive. I understand that employees are moving to different sites, but it's hard to truly develop a community when the managers are constantly on the move. With that, I've found Joel, Ivan and Renee to be incredibly professional, attentive and just a pleasure to see every day. Overall come work here, it's great!
WeWork is awesome! Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The community events provide great networking opportunities and fun perks.
