TJX European Headquarters

TJX Europe sought to consolidate its operations into a cohesive headquarters that would embody its corporate values and support its growing workforce. The challenge was to design and construct a campus that not only met high sustainability standards but also fostered collaboration, wellbeing, and adaptability for future needs. Situated in Watford, the project needed to integrate seamlessly into the local community while providing a modern, flexible workspace for approximately 3,000 employees.

G&T provided Cost Management, Project Management and Employer's Agent services throughout the development. The project involved the construction of a new 12-storey office building with a double-level basement, connected via enclosed bridges to two refurbished buildings, creating a unified campus. The design incorporated open-plan workspaces, collaboration areas, digitally-operated locker banks, catering facilities, a staff café, gym, spin studio, auditorium, and event spaces. Sustainability was a key focus, with the new build achieving a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating and featuring extensive green walls to promote biodiversity.

Completed in 2023, the TJX European Headquarters stands as a testament to sustainable and employee-focused design. The campus has been recognised with the BCO Regional Award for Corporate Workplace in the Midlands & Central England, highlighting its success in creating a vibrant, adaptable environment that reflects TJX Europe's values. G&T's comprehensive management ensured the delivery of a high-quality, future-proof workplace that supports TJX Europe's operations and contributes positively to the Watford community.
