No 3 Circle Square is the next commercial phase of Circle Square, following the completion and subsequent full occupation of No. 1 & 2.
Sustainability is at the heart of No 3. The project is targeting net zero embodied carbon during construction, BREEAM Excellent status, an EPC A rating and a NABERS 5 Star rating and once operational. Ample bike storage and showers will facilitate green travel, whilst a roof terrace and new landscaped garden area will add more outdoor space to enjoy at Circle Square.
As part of Bruntwood SciTech’s innovation district, the building is specifically designed to accommodate high growth digital and tech businesses, with flexible workspaces, collaborative and social spaces. Circle Square already boasts major science and technology businesses such as Roku, Autocab and Bosch.

Following the concept design stage, CWC have developed the proposals through stage 3 into stage 4, and are currently undertaking more detailed HVAC energy modelling to deliver the NABERS design for performance assessment. This will allow the client to market the building with a NABERS rating prior to the final in-use rating, which can only be assessed once the building is occupied.
Working to clear energy targets from the early design stages means No. 3 Circle Square is on track to be Bruntwood SciTech’s most sustainable office building to date, setting the direction of travel for future developments.
The project has received planning permission and aims to complete by December 2024.
