The deal with developer Emmut Properties will be Selina's first in New York, bringing the Latin American brand to the backyard of one of its investors, WeWork co-founder and CEO Adam Neumann. The first Selina in New York, which will have 90 rooms, 2K SF of coworking and 2K SF of retail, will be about five blocks from WeWork's first location at 154 Grand St. in SoHo.
