I'm trying to think of a large business that could build (or did) an internal WeWork like division, and then offered that service to outside parties.
Huh. I guess that'd be a big white collar employer that did project centric work. Like a big consulting firm. Or an IT services unit, like Microsoft or Oracle.
Imagine Amazon bundling their own real estate, construction, facilities, space planning, and misc A/E/C functions as a service. For their own use. And then offering that service to outsiders.
That's what WeWork should look like.

I now predict that's exactly what Amazon will do.
Amazon will compete with WeWork and others in this space. With the advantage of themselves as their own first customer. And unlimited capital.
