WeWork completes lease negotiations with Singapore landlords, targets May 31 to emerge from bankruptcy
Global versatile work area provider WeWork has already publicized that it has indeed ended a number of lease agreements with its Singapore workplace landlords. This concludes the real estate rationalisation exercise of its Singapore profile that initiated last September.
Hidalgo adds in: “Singapore has actually been, and will continue to be, a priority industry for WeWork, and we are excited to invest even more down the road of service through our products and member experience.”
