WeWork Is Acquiring China’s Naked Hub for $400 Million
(Apr.19, 2018, /bloomberg.com/) WeWork Cos. is buying Chinese co-working startup Naked Hub as part of a continued expansion in the world’s most populous country.
New York-based WeWork, the largest global co-working company, will pay about $400 million for the three-year-old Chinese business, according to two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the terms are private. The majority will come in the form of equity, one of the people said.
Adam Neumann, chief executive officer at WeWork, said that the two companies were drawn to each other because of their similar cultures.
Naked Hub is the co-working arm of Shanghai-based luxury resort company Naked Retreats. It has 10,000 members and has outlined plans for more than 30 locations, mostly in Shanghai and Beijing, along with locations in Australia, Hong Kong and Vietnam. The chain focuses on environmental sustainability and stripped-down architecture. Naked Hub has about 200 employees, who will join WeWork’s 250 workers in China.
The deal “was a hard decision, but it was the right decision for us,” said Naked Hub founder Grant Horsfield. “This allows us to make our dreams bigger and quicker.”
