On Thursday, WeWork is opening its newest location in New York City at 11 John Street in the city’s financial district.
But what makes the latest location different from other WeWork offices around the globe is where it’s housed: straddling the brand-new Fulton Center – a massive, futuristic terminal that’s home to a Shake Shack and an oculus-style skylight – and the historic Corbin Building, which was built in 1889.
The new office is WeWork’s 15th historically-landmarked building and the eighth in New York City alone. The company says the new building is part of its commitment to breathing new life into historic buildings that might otherwise be forgotten.
WeWork’s newest space faces walls of windows and features the modern aesthetic the startup is known for. Scroll below to see inside.

Each WeWork has millennial-friendly amenities like beer on tap and La Colombe coffee.
WeWork offers its plenty of places to sit and work, like overstuffed couches, a reading nook, and more traditional tables and desks.
The reading nooks are housed in this cube in a central part of the office, complete with plenty of pillows and rustic foot stools.
Here’s another area to work or eat.
The windows on one side of the office overlook the atrium of Fulton Center.
The space also has private rooms, which serve as conference rooms for employees working out of WeWorks. There are also rooms that can serve as private office space.
The entire office is full of natural light, thanks to the windows on either side.
The plaid reading nook looks big enough to share — and very comfortable.
