WeWork Goes to the Plaza District

Opened in 1986 and best known for its curved facade, 135 E. 57th St. was acquired by Charles Cohen in 1997.

NEW YORK CITY—Co-working space giant WeWork has secured its first location in the Plaza District. The company has signed a long-term lease for four full floors—spanning approximately 60,000 square feet, at Charles S. Cohen’s Tower 57, the 32-story office tower at 135 E. 57^th St. Best known for its curved façade, the building occupies the northwest corner of 57th Street and Lexington Avenue.

“We are thrilled with the elite tenants that are being attracted to our property,” states Cohen. “It’s an indication of the desirability of the 57th Street’s easterly corridor as well as the continued demand for well located Class A office space in the midtown district.”
