On the ground floor, Bla Bla, which is a sister brand of YoooServ, will operate a café open to tenants and the public. Another sister company, Bomboni, will operate the 11th-floor bar and rooftop terrace, where it will offer food and beverages.
The Clarendon Works will provide 173,000 sq ft of grade-A office space over 11 floors. Floorplates in the building range from 2,450 sq ft to 15,300 sq ft.
Paul Eden, co-founder of Regal London, said: “At the Clarendon Works, our first stand-alone office development, we have used the exact same approach as we take on our residential developments: excellence in design, a focus on wellbeing and a drive to create not just homes but a community.”
He added that the offices will provide “a workplace experience unlike anywhere else nearby – and, indeed, often one better than the offices in Euston and King’s Cross”.
Benjamin Willmore, chief executive of YoooServ, said: “Watford is in the middle of a £1.5bn glow-up spearheaded by the local council, complementing what Regal London is doing – creating a premium mixed-use scheme of homes and office space.”
The Fraser Brown MacKenna-designed scheme is targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A ratings. It has been pre-certified under the WELL Standard and has already achieved ActiveScore and WiredScore Platinum.
YoooServ, which was set up to meet demand for premium serviced offices in the regions, operates three sites in Weybridge and Reading, and has three new sites in the pipeline.
Lambert Smith Hampton and Bray Fox Smith are the letting agents for the Clarendon Works.
