While it had previously signed two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/ny\/manhattan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">office leases in Manhattan<\/a> post-bankruptcy, both of those spaces are designated for full occupancy by Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>WeWork intends to invest between $80 million and $100 million in its global portfolio in 2025, signaling a return to a growth phase after significantly reducing its footprint during the last five years. The company is also experiencing increased demand in New York City with memberships climbing 10%. Overall, WeWork operates more than 3 million square feet in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York City holds immense value and opportunity for WeWork,\u201d Santora said. \u201cAs the flight to quality continues to drive the city\u2019s office leasing landscape, companies of all sizes are seeking elevated, experience-driven workspaces that can propel their teams to new levels of productivity and collaboration. WeWork 250 Broadway is our latest solution to this need, and we\u2019re excited to work with AmTrust RE to bring this premium workspace offering to the Financial District.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leading global provider of flexible space, WeWork announced that it had executed a 60,000-square-foot lease agreement with AmTrust RE at 250 Broadway.
