Coworking giant WeWork is opening two new spaces in Calgary

Coworking aggregator giant, WeWork, is opening up two new locations in Calgary, Canada.

The coworking space company that can be seen in 105 cities throughout 28 countries has announced that it will be landing in YYC starting this winter.

Two WeWork locations are planned for Alberta’s largest city, with the first opening its doors at The Edison building this December.

A total of 1,300 desks across five floors will become available for entrepreneurs and companies alike, with membership plans spanning from hot-desking to private office spaces.

The second space will be opened sometime in early 2020 at Stephen Avenue Space, featuring an additional 1,260 desks in the Calgary area.

“We’re thrilled to be welcoming WeWork to Calgary. This is a company that’s rethinking how people work and building community at the same time,” Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said, in the release.

“For a city like Calgary where our economy is evolving quickly, this is a fantastic opportunity and an innovative way to help reenergize downtown Calgary. I look forward to seeing the impact WeWork will have in our city.”

WeWork’s community director of western Canada, Brianna Iverson, explained in the release what it means for the company to be opening two locations in Calgary off the get-go.
