We’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone in Clockwise’s journey: our first independent management agreement with real estate fund Patrizia for The Louise, Brussels. This exciting development not only marks our second location in this vibrant European capital but also represents a strategic evolution in our growth trajectory.
Situated in the prestigious Avenue Louise district at number 149, our newest workspace sits at the heart of Brussels’ business and luxury retail quarter. Nestled among five-star hotels, flagship luxury stores, and the offices of BEL20 companies and leading law firms, The Louise building will offer approximately 3,350 sq. m of premium flexible workspace when it opens in Summer 2025.
The success of our first Brussels location, which opened in 2022 and quickly reached mature occupancy, gave us the confidence to expand further in this dynamic market. Our recent opening in Antwerp has also seen tremendous interest, confirming Belgium’s position as a crucial hub for our European expansion.
“We’ve seen great success in Brussels already, and the newly opened Clockwise Antwerp has also been well received,” says Alexandra Livesey, our Chief Operating Officer. “We know there’s increased opportunity in Belgium which is why we are confident in boosting our footprint in this fantastic country. Our new strategy, to forge partnerships with other landlords, is integral to fulfilling our potential.”
A Workspace That Works for Everyone
The Louise will feature over 300 desks spread across two floors, offering a diverse range of working environments:
- Private offices for focused work
- Dedicated desks for consistent workspace needs
- A welcoming club lounge for collaborative working
- Professional meeting rooms available for booking
What truly sets The Louise apart is its commitment to sustainability and wellbeing. The building holds a prestigious BREEAM Excellent rating and offers exceptional amenities for eco-conscious professionals:
- 190 bike spaces with charging facilities
- Electric vehicle charging points
- Extensive gardens and terraces across multiple floors
- Panoramic views of Brussels
- Various food and beverage options
Supporting Local Growth
This expansion isn’t just about adding square meters – it’s about creating opportunities. We’re planning to hire seven dedicated staff members to ensure our signature Clockwise experience is delivered consistently. Each team member will undergo comprehensive training to maintain the high standards our members have come to expect across our UK and European locations.
A New Chapter in Our Growth Story
This management agreement with Patrizia represents more than just a new location – it’s a blueprint for our future growth. While we proudly maintain our owner-operator relationship with Castleforge, this new partnership model allows us to accelerate our expansion while working with external landlords through management agreements and independent leases.
The addition of The Louise to our portfolio represents our 18th opening since 2017, and we couldn’t be more excited about this new chapter in our story. As Belgium continues to live up to its reputation as the Crossroads of Europe, we’re proud to be part of its vibrant business landscape, supporting companies of all sizes as they grow and expand across Europe and beyond.
