Currently, Clockwise is in charge of manning the reception desk and organizing the services of the building, including the common meeting rooms, the auditorium and Hotel Wielemans which serves as a business club. In this sense, Clockwise will continue to provide community management.

Alexandra Livesey, COO at Clockwise: “At Clockwise, we’re thrilled to bring our flexible and forward-thinking workspaces to The Louise, a building that not only reflects our commitment to creating inspiring environments but also supports the future of work in an evolving world. The demand for hybrid and adaptable work solutions has never been higher, and at The Louise, we’re excited to offer spaces designed with both individual focus and community collaboration in mind. By providing a blend of private offices, coworking spaces, and meeting rooms, we’re ensuring that professionals from all industries have the flexibility and resources they need to thrive. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where innovation flourishes, where businesses of all sizes can connect, grow, and succeed. The Louise, with its vibrant social spaces and cutting-edge facilities, offers the perfect backdrop for that vision.”

The Louise is more than just an office building; it’s a vibrant community where tenants can thrive together. By focusing on smart technology, user well-being, and ambitious sustainability goals, we’ve positioned The Louise as a Grade A office building. Our communal spaces, including the lobby and the catering store Fonteyne The Kitchen, create excellent opportunities for networking and socializing. We’re also excited about the upcoming barista coffee bar opening early 2025, which will add even more energy to our lively atmosphere. With so much happening, The Louise is truly becoming a hub for creativity and connection.”
