SIGNS ARE ON THE DOOR TO WEWORK’S NEW DOWNTOWN BRANCH AT 708 MAIN The building on the corner of Main and Capitol — known since 2003 as the Great Jones building — is showing signs of the new WeWork office that’s heading into it. Last April, the workspace provider signed a lease for 86,000 sq. ft. in the building — originally billed as its first Houston location, although a smaller WeWork branch snuck in and opened on 3 floors of the Galleria I tower last December. 708 Main St. has been undergoing renovations since 2016 when its developers Midway and Lionstone Investments announced they planned to link the structure to its neighbor — the JP Morgan Chase building on the corner of Main and Rusk — via a first floor and mezzanine common area dubbed the Currency Lounge. The entire block between Capitol and Rusk is now being marketed as a single property termed The Jones on Main. [Previously on Swamplot] Photo of WeWork entrance: Swamplot inbox
There’s not much more to be said beyond this. http://www.alphadevx.com/a/512-Hell-is-a-stylish-shared-office-space
@txcon: I will never forget a meeting I had with my boss at one of these sorts of things where we ended up on a conference call and my boss, who has a voice that carries, decided to expound at length in the office. I actually had to get up and go to a different part of the workspace… Not just to avoid the death stares from the other folks.
