WeWork expands to Cape Town

WeWork has announced that it will open its first office in Cape Town, as well as a second Johannesburg office in Sandton.

The Cape Town office will comprise four floors in the 80 Strand Street office block, which is situated in the Cape Town CBD.

What is Wework?

I think they would do better by opening in the surrounding areas, rather than the CBD. Given the chaos that is trying to get into the CBD in the morning, not to mention the cost of parking, I don't know why a company/person who is mobile enough to take advantage of non-fixed offices would choose to go through the pain of the Cape Town CBD commute.

I don't understand it either.. The costs are so high and I get that you want to be accessible to your clients and suppliers, but everyone hates CBD..
