In late October 2017, WeWork bought the Lord & Taylor Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan from the Hudson's Bay Company, for $850 million.[34] The deal also includes the use of floors of certain HBC owned department stores in Germany, New York, Toronto, and Vancouver as WeWork's shared office workspaces.[35][36] The sale was officially finalized in February 2019, at which point Lord & Taylor's flagship store inside the building had closed completely.[37]
