WeWork<\/a> continues to build on its success coming out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it prepares to open another New York City location by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n

The reinvigorated coworking firm signed a lease for 37,000 square feet across four floors of 511 Fifth Avenue, an 18-story office building owned by Jeff Sutton\u2019s Wharton Properties<\/a> and Robert Cayre\u2019s Aurora Capital Associates<\/a>. The deal represents WeWork\u2019s third new location in New York City since repositioning itself.<\/p>\n

The asking rent and the length of the lease were not immediately disclosed, but the average asking rent for office space in Midtown was $85.11 per square foot in February, according to a report from CBRE.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re witnessing a structural shift as to how real estate is being utilized, and at 511 Fifth Avenue, we plan to bring to market a space that flexes to the needs of our various members, ranging from private offices to full office floors to coworking space,\u201d John Santora, CEO of WeWork, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you\u2019re a founder, a small business owner, or a multinational corporation seeking space for a dedicated team, you\u2019ll have access to 37,000 square feet of premium workspace that is tailored to your unique needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution,\u201d Santora added.<\/p>\n

JLL<\/a>\u2019s Peter Riguardi handled negotiations on behalf of WeWork while Mitch Konsker, also of JLL, represented the landlords in the transaction. JLL did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The 511 Fifth Avenue location is wedged between Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal. WeWork\u2019s space will run across the ninth, 10th, 11th and 15th floors of the building \u2014 9,000 square feet of which will be for a coworking lounge.<\/p>\n

The new lease follows WeWork establishing a new \u200b\u200b55,000-square-foot location at Moinian Group\u2019s 245 Fifth Avenue in August 2025<\/a>, and its first post-bankruptcy lease spanning 60,000 square feet across five floors at AmTrust RE\u2019s 250 Broadway in July 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While this will be its third new location since the bankruptcy proceedings wrapped up in 2024, the deal will be WeWork\u2019s 36th location in New York City after it retained a number of its existing spots in renegotiations with landlords.<\/p>\n
