WeWork Aims for the Middle With Expanded 'HQ' Service

NEW YORK — WeWork is expanding an effort to retain mid-sized businesses which had been leaving the shared office space manager after they grew past the small-company phase, and to catch up with rivals already catering to these clients.

HQ by WeWork, launched in San Francisco and New York in August to provide enhanced services for businesses with 11 to 250 employees, is targeting 11 overseas markets including London and Shanghai and other U.S. hot spots such as Boston and Denver, said executives at WeWork, a unit of The We Company.
