Cambridge House, the upmarket Bath city centre serviced office, has reached 90% occupancy just six months after opening.
The 13,000sq ft centre, pictured, on Henry Street is operator Clarendon’s first outside its heartland of London and the South East – and has proved among its most successful. 
Now it is planning a second phase which will include a specially designed roof terrace. Ready in time for the summer, Clarendon will be promoting it as perfect for alfresco dining and outdoor events with views across the city roofscape.
Cambridge House, located in the city centre of Bath, includes more than 55 separate offices over four floors with meeting rooms and office spaces ranging in size from one work station to 17.
Its vibrant and contemporary look was designed by Bath-based workplace specialist Interaction, which completed a £1.2m, 16-week refurbishment project on the offices – which had been unused for several years and were in a bad state of repair – ahead of the opening.
The space has been created to make visitors and occupiers feel like they are entering a five-star hotel with a professional reception team.
Clarendon had wanted to develop a ‘boutique-style’ centre in Bath that fitted with the needs of city’s innovative businesses for some time but could not find the right building because of the shortage of available commercial space in the city. Now that wait appears to have paid off.
Cambridge House manager Tom Endacott, pictured, said: “The directors had been looking for a prominent site in Bath for some time and when they secured the space on Henry Street, we all knew it would prove to be a popular working location.
“The popularity of Cambridge House is not just about its prime location in Bath, the demand for office space is high in the city centre. With almost every business needing an office, the centre has offices which can support a business with just a few employees right up to work space that can accommodate much larger teams.
“Our virtual office service is popular for those just needing a business address and call answering service; I believe we have something for everyone. We’re not just a building with offices, we are so much more than that and really pride ourselves on looking after everything leaving our clients to focus on running their businesses.
“We believe that the workplace is a key tool in a successful business, we work with many exciting and sector leading companies to help maximise the potential of their staff and businesses.”
Clarendon, which was founded in 1998, has 12 centres in London, Bournemouth, Oxford and Abingdon, with sister brand Reflex operating a further 20 in Westminster and Camden.
Clarendon centres are fully furnished and cabled and offer instant availability. Its flexible approach means that clients only pay for space they use and they only commit for the length of term they require and enabling them to upsize and downsize as needed.
