The Berkeley Brand

A Brand With a Reputation of Excellence

Berkeley was founded in 1976 and today is one of the UK's best known property developers of new homes.

Over time the company expanded into several brands: Berkeley, St Joseph, St James, St Edward, St George and St William. These represented key partnerships with other organisations. The ‘Berkeley’ brand continued to represent our medium to large‑scale property developments across London and the South of England.

The Berkeley vision has been the same since the beginning: to be a dynamic and innovative company with a passionate commitment to provide superbly designed and built homes. 'Berkeley' has undoubtedly become a byword for excellence.

What is Berkeley Known For?

Berkeley's first homes were typically large executive style properties, but today the Berkeley portfolio reflects the aspirations of a much broader range of home buyers, encompassing medium to large-scale developments in towns, cities and the countryside, mixed use schemes, riverside apartments, refurbished historic buildings and urban loft spaces.

The company has also gained considerable experience in creating sustainable communities within complex regeneration schemes.

The Berkeley Legacy to Date

Over the past five decades, Berkeley has played a pivotal role in shaping some of the UK’s most recognisable neighbourhoods.

Signature developments range from large-scale regeneration projects such as Woodberry Down and Kidbrooke Village to award-winning urban placemaking at Battersea Reach, Oval Village and White City Living.

Each development reflects Berkeley’s commitment to thoughtful design, long-term stewardship and creating places where communities can thrive.
