Working And Living In The Same Space

This article discusses the increased competition for rental accommodation from shared office space providers, such as WeWork, moving into residential living spaces. Condo dwellers who require a hospitable working environment prefer to pay for the use of these spaces rather than work alone at home or in an inhospitable building. The article highlights how WeWork has become a significant player in the market by providing modern working spaces, designed for collaboration and networking, that include glass walled offices and common areas. WeLive, a fully furnished apartment located above WeWork shared office space, is another service the company provides. It allows residents to live in a community with a common design and theme while having access to services such as housekeeping and social events. The article suggests that where WeLive residents are also WeWork clients, morning and evening commutes are simplified.
