by Kristin Harlow

NEW YORK CITY — WeWork’s parent company, The We Co., has filed for its initial public offering. The coworking giant has not yet provided details on the number of shares it will offer or the expected pricing. We’s public filing would enable the company to debut as early as September. We has been valued as high as $47 billion in the private markets, according to The Wall Street Journal. We’s total revenue increased $771.6 million in the first six months of 2019 to $1.5 billion, primarily driven by an increase in membership and service revenue, according to the company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On the flip side, We posted a net loss of $689.7 million for the first six months of the year. Total revenue in 2018 was $1.8 billion, but total losses were $1.6 billion.

by Taylor Williams

On June 14th, the New York State legislature passed a series of stringent rent regulation reforms. The laws damaged property owners’ means of making money by strengthening tenant protections, capping rent increases and keeping units permanently stabilized. A quick Google search will explain the specifics regarding IAIs, J51s, eviction, buyouts, vacancy bonus and decontrol. In short, landlords will face rising taxes, higher water and sewer bills and elevated construction costs with no mechanism to raise rents to outpace or even match these expenses. Gloom was in the air until an auspicious turn of events occurred on June 21st, just one week after the new rent laws passed. A Pennsylvania woman won a momentous victory in the U.S. Supreme Court that opened the doors for property owners to go directly to federal court without going to state court first. The timing was nothing short of incredible. Essentially, the decision paves the way for New York City landlords to get a fast-track hearing by the Supreme Court, which may view the these new rent laws as going too far and violating owners’ constitutional rights. In weeks to follow, property owners spoke with each other and with major law firms to get a …
