Boultbee Brooks

What Boultbee Brooks does

Boultbee Brooks Real Estate Limited is a privately held UK property developer and investor founded in 1987 by Clive Boultbee Brooks. The firm develops and invests across four commercial real estate verticals—industrial space, data space, work space, and living space—concentrating activity in the Midlands and South of England with selective expansion into European data centre markets. Revenue is generated primarily through project-by-project property development, asset sales to institutional buyers, rentals, and active asset management, with typical investment ticket sizes ranging from £250k to £10m depending on asset class. Named counterparties include CBREIM, ABRDN, British Land, and Derbyshire Council Pension Fund.

Beyond core property, Boultbee Brooks operates a renewable energy platform through Infrabee, a 2023 joint venture with infrastructure developer Infraland that is progressing a 1,700-acre/400MW UK solar pipeline equivalent to powering 135,000 homes and saving 90,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. Strategic venture investments include Powersync Technologies (energy asset management and battery storage) and SUB1 (data centre design and commissioning). Commercial sub-brands include Studio Space, a self-serve flexible workspace platform, and project brands HYPHEN and CORE in Manchester. The firm is RICS-regulated and has achieved BREEAM Excellent and EPC A-B ratings on multiple completed schemes, with 90% of projects involving renovation and recycling of existing buildings.

The firm maintains a small in-house team and operates three UK offices: Cheltenham (transactions and asset management), Hereford (property management and accounts), and London (meetings and socialising). Distribution is principally direct enterprise sales to institutional investors and corporate occupiers, supplemented by the Studio Space self-serve channel for flexible workspace customers. Founder-led and privately owned, the company has no disclosed institutional investors, public listing, or parent entity.

• Bruntwood: UK regional property developer and operator of flexible/customer-led workspace (including Bruntwood Works). Comparable to Boultbee Brooks across design-led workspace refurbishment and managed workspace via the Studio Space platform.
• CEG: Mixed-use property developer with a strong track record in urban regeneration and sustainable development across northern England. Comparable to Boultbee Brooks' Living Space and Work Space product lines.
