Bruntwood is a family-owned property company offering office space, serviced offices, retail space and virtual offices in the north of England and Birmingham in the United Kingdom. They own several high-profile buildings in the Manchester area, as well as in Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham.

Bruntwood's portfolio of over 100 properties is worth over one billion pounds[4] and includes over 560,000 square metres (6,000,000 sq ft) of floorspace.[5]

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.[6][7]

Alongside the creation of Bruntwood SciTech, the core work space assets were ring fenced into a business named Bruntwood Works, specialising in different types of workspace products from coworking and serviced offices to traditional leased offices.[8]
