Bruntwood SciTech
In October 2018, Bruntwood announced a 50:50 partnership with Legal & General Capital focussed on science and technology in regional cities. The new partnership has been named Bruntwood SciTech. Interests include Circle Square and Alderley Park.[5][6]
The joint venture purchased grade II listed Pall Mall in Manchester for £13 million in 2021 and began a £33 million refurbishment in 2024, with the project being completed, and 90% of the office space being let, by 2026.[7]
In 2026, Brentwood SciTech and the University of Manchester submitted plans for a 38 storey tower, that would provide student accommodation for 1,000 people in the Sister district.[8][9] Sister is a £1.7 billion project to re-develop the University's north campus. Earlier work on the district included the refurbishment of the Renold Building.[10]
