The We Company, which owns shared-office firm WeWork, said on May 15 it had formed a real-estate investment platform to buy and develop commercial property worldwide.

The unit, called ARK, will have initial total equity capital of $2.9 billion, of which $1 billion is from a unit of Canadian investment firm Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. WeWork Property Advisors, an investment adviser affiliated with The We Company and private-equity firm Rhone, will combine with ARK. ARK will be chaired by Steven Langman, a managing director at Rhone and a member of The We Company’s board.

The We Company filed for a U.S. initial public offering in April. It was valued at around $47 billion in a private fundraising round in January.
