UK-based coworking provider Clockwise Offices is set to open a second location in Brussels’ prestigious Louise district, marking its first independent management agreement with real estate fund PATRIZIA SE. Spanning 3,300 square meters, the new space will offer over 300 desks, private offices, a collaborative lounge, and facilities for cyclists and electric vehicle users. This expansion builds on the success of Clockwise’s first Brussels site and reflects Belgium’s importance in the company’s European growth strategy.

Their COO, Alexandra Livesey will be at Coworking Europe next week speaking on how this management agreement signifies a shift towards partnerships with external landlords, a model aimed at accelerating Clockwise’s future expansion.

Alexandra Livesey, COO of Clockwise and MD of Brama Hotels, joins Liz Elam on the GCUC podcast, discussing how "hotelification" is often used as a catch-all when describing what makes new workspaces special, and her journey as a female leader in the coworking sector.

In the recent FlexWorld Series 2024 event, industry experts sat down to discuss the most important metrics to track in a coworking space. Anna Levine (Industrious), Alexandra Livesey (Clockwise) chatted with Mihail Kyosev and Miro Miroslavov (both from OfficeRnD) and discussed different KPIs they monitored on a monthly, weekly and daily cadence.

They dig into an array of metrics from data-driven budgets, to borrowing KPIs from generational cos, digging into public filings, and the different flavors of occupancy numbers.

FlexWorld returns for their 2024 series. Speakers have now been announced and outside of the awesome OfficeRnD team, you’ll hear from Alexandra Livesey (Clockwise), Jonny Rosenblatt (Spacemade), Jamie Russo (Everything Coworking), Anna Levine (Industrious), Kenny Kane (Firmspace), and Tríona O’ Neill (Serendipity Labs).
