WeWork officially opened the first WeLive location at 110 Wall St this April (just above Bisnow’s HQ).

Competition in the co-living market is also beginning to heat up, as Common, a startup that began last year in Brooklyn, just closed on a $16M Series B funding round to open up new spaces in Washington, DC, and San Francisco. [TRD]
