WeWork is reportedly planning to manufacture the glass and aluminium parts used in its offices. The company has also been working on a new product called “Glass House” that will be sold as an add-on for existing buildings. A number of major real estate developers have established, or acquired manufacturing plants in an effort to cut costs and have greater control over supply chains. Amol Sarva told Business Insider that "if you're in traditional real estate, it makes sense." Co-workspace operator CommonGrounds, which has raised a total of $140m this year has an exclusive contract with Tecno SpA, a company that has developed a system of moveable office walls that dramatically reduces the time take and cost of renovating and remodelling office space.
