But the New York-based startup\u2019s latest venture is actually geared towards well-to-do Millennials seeking a sense of community and a relaxed, month-to-month rental agreement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The concept has been tentatively titled \u201cWeLive,\u201d and its flagship residence is located in a former office tower at 110 Wall Street. The studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are equipped with cable and Internet access, and feature private kitchens and at least one private bathroom. Each unit also receives a monthly cleaning that\u2019s included in the rent, with the option to tack on services such as laundry and dry cleaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Much like your beloved freshman dorm, each floor boasts its own common area. But it\u2019s not simply a place to heat up a Cup of Noodles in the microwave \u2014 these are yoga studios and movie theatres that host nightly activities planned by a community manager. WeLive even has its own app and social network for posting news and upcoming events.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shuffle-board-min.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[143101]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-143103 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shuffle-board-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"shuffle board-min\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/a><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/press?ref=ftr\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">wework.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an interview with <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3055325\/from-wework-to-welive-company-moves-members-into-its-first-residential-building\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FastCompany<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a WeWork spokesperson said it is in \u201cthe early stages of beta testing\u201d with 80 of its own members and employees occupying the 45 apartments.
