A former coworking space by WeWork in West Hollywood is being turned into ... a different coworking space.

IWG has taken over a 31K SF WeWork at 925 North La Brea between Melrose and Santa Monica, in West Hollywood.

WeWork terminated its lease last year. IWG has not taken over the entirety of WeWork’s footprint; the coworking company’s lease at 925 North La Brea was 48K SF, Wehoville reported.

The newly christened Spaces West Hollywood has 160 private offices and coworking spaces, 12 meeting rooms and 10 phone booths. Coworking memberships start at $254 for the month, according to the Spaces website.
