WeWork, a New York City-based startup that rents office space is getting ready to move into their new Sydney digs as anchor tenants at Charter Hall's redevelopment of 333 George Street in Sydney.
The move by the global co-working company will take the $250 million project to full occupancy.
The project is part of the unlisted Charter Hall Prime Office Fund, and reportedly a speculative development until the news that WeWork would be taking up residence.
The 4300 square metre WeWork lease, foreshadowed last year, spans five floors of the new tower, which will overlook the new light rail along George Street.
This new occupancy now adds to WeWork's existence in Sydney, which began with a site in Martin Place and then in Pyrmont.
