Berkeley Group Overview

Berkeley Group builds homes and neighbourhoods across London, Birmingham, and the South of England. We revive underused land, creating welcoming, sustainable, and nature-rich places where communities thrive and where people of all ages and backgrounds enjoy a great quality of life.

We specialise in long-term brownfield regeneration, focusing on challenging and complex sites that are beyond the scope of conventional homebuilders. We are highly collaborative, working with councils and communities to create a shared vision and to unlock a mix of social, environmental, economic, and commercial value that benefits all our stakeholders.

Our passion for quality and design underpins everything we do. All Berkeley homes are created with care, expertise, and relentless attention to detail.
