Bruntwood SciTech completes Circle Square

Bruntwood SciTech has completed No.3 Circle Square, a new £87 million, 267,000 sq ft state-of-the-art, sustainable workspace in the heart of Manchester’s Oxford Road Corridor knowledge quarter.

The 15-storey building is designed to meet the needs of high-growth tech, digital and innovation-led businesses, offering best-in-class workspace and a rich environment for collaboration. It forms part of Circle Square - a £750 million innovation neighbourhood and joint venture between Bruntwood and Vita Group.

The building is net zero carbon in both its construction and operation of its communal spaces, is powered by 100% renewable energy, and is on target to achieve BREEAM Excellent status, as well as a NABERS 5-star rating and an EPC A rating.

John Marland, Chief Development Officer for Bruntwood SciTech, said: “Completing No.3 Circle Square is a landmark moment – not just for Bruntwood SciTech and our delivery team, but for Manchester’s innovation economy. This building represents our ambition to create world-class infrastructure that accelerates the growth of the UK’s most exciting businesses and we’re looking forward to seeing the creativity and innovations that grow here in future.”

Located within one of the UK’s most vibrant tech clusters, No.3 Circle Square places businesses in close proximity to two world-class universities, with access to over 100,000 students and more than 16,000 STEM graduates every year.

Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council, said: "Manchester is the fastest-growing city in the UK and has real momentum as a centre for jobs and investment in innovation. Circle Square is making a tangible contribution to this story, attracting prestigious occupiers who want to work in an environment which supports collaboration and new ideas."
