If you have any familiarity with CBRE, then you know that a shared office environment is totally against everything CBRE does

CBRE Launches New Coworking Brand, Hana: https://allwork.space/2018/11/cbre-launches-new-coworking-br...

How does this fit with https://www.hanahaus.com which already exists?

(note: I've never used Hana though I walked through the one in Palo Alto just out of curiosity, and it simply looked like a random co working space).

HANA Haus is named after SAP's database product HANA. It's more of a coffee get together than a co-working space (unless they've deliberately changed it since I've last been there).

Actually its mainly a coworking space with a blue bottle in the building as well. I got open seating just $3 an hour. Has louder areas or you can reserve quieter spaces/meeting rooms.

These two things need not be mutually exclusive.

There’s always competition between divisions at large companies.

Also these guys might not have gotten the memo yet, or they did get the memo and there was friction about someone using CBRE property to “compete” with a business unit that wasn’t public knowledge yet.
