WeWork Cos., a co-working space startup backed by SoftBank Group Corp., is making its debut in Japan with three locations in downtown Tokyo starting February.
The first space will occupy two floors of Mori Building Co.’s Ark Hills complex, Chris Hill, WeWork’s chief executive officer for Japan, said in an interview Thursday. That will be followed by penthouse space at a recently opened building called Ginza Six and a nine-story office building near Shimbashi in March and April, Hill said.
