WeWork’s ground-up project in Bentonville, Arkansas, which was announced in April, is an outlier in the company’s portfolio of properties. The company has been working on a new campus for more than two years, and it will be built at its current location near downtown Dallas. The company is taking all of the office space in a downtown development and will also play a part in picking tenants for its retail space. Walmart, whose HQ is nearby, is the main draw to the town; the retailer encourages its vendors to locate there to build strong relationships.
