Find your favorite WeWork office

By: Jing Liu

With more than 750 locations in more than 100 cities — including 80+ offices across 12 cities in Greater China — WeWork offers its members many choices for where to work. To help members around the world find the perfect workplace, wherever they are, WeWork.cn and WeWork.com are now built with Mapbox static and dynamic maps.

(Left) A static map on each office page identifies the location of a specific shared space and provides transit information. (Right) The dynamic map shows all shared spaces in the region, and additional office information including price.

People looking to find a new collaborative working space can do so with the ‘office-finder’ feature, displaying nearby intersections and subway stations.

Visitors can also compare prices of various shared spaces around the region from within the map-view.

Previously, WeWork.cn designers drew maps by hand for each new shared space. However, to keep up with WeWork’s growing pace, the team sought to find a more sustainable approach to creating beautiful yet simplistic static maps for each office location.

“Switching to Mapbox reduced valuable time spent drawing maps by hand. Now we’re able to quickly create beautiful maps with each new office on WeWork.cn”

- Ejoe HOU, Marketing Creative of WeWork China
