Approximately half of Mixer’s newly leased space is already set aside for Tel Aviv-based and Nasdaq-listed website building company Wix.com., according to the latter. About 300 Wix employees are expected to be transferred to the new space, Wix told Calcalist. Wix currently employs 1,600 people at the company’s headquarters in the old Tel Aviv port area.

In April, Wix announced its plans to build a new 50,000-square-meter-headquarters and campus in Tel Aviv to replace the company’s current campus in 2022. Mixer’s new location will allow Wix to continue expanding until it moves into its new headquarters in three years, the company said. Wix added that this is one of several coworking spaces the company is leasing in order to accommodate new employees until the new campus will be ready.

 

In addition to a shared workspace, Mixer intends to operate a retail space that will serve tenants looking to feature and sell their products and services. Additionally, Mixer said it is looking into operating a collaborative food court in the new space.
