••• “According to several sources familiar with the deal, WeWork is committing to a sizable block of space in [1 World Trade Center.] There were conflicting estimates on how much space WeWork is taking, with some sources stating that it could be as much as 500,000 square feet. Others pegged the transaction at around 200,000.” Will WeWork put its name on that building, too? —Crain’s

••• “The newest pop-up shop on the block is the Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Hotel, coming to Soho on Saturday, September 8 and Sunday, September 9.
