Berkeley Group 2019 Annual Report Building communities 2019 Annual Report About Berkeley Building communities Berkeley creates homes and neighbourhoods across London, Birmingham and the South-East of England. For Berkeley, development is all about people. We take a holistic approach to placemaking, which goes beyond the conventional role of a developer and puts the strength and well-being of the wider community at the heart of every plan. We think long-term and we invest more to create welcoming, sustainable and biodiverse places. Every development has a unique, locally inspired masterplan with a mix of beautiful public spaces, natural landscapes and amenities that bring people together to enjoy community life. Our developments provide homes for everyone; from families to first-time buyers, students to older people, and a mix of affordable homes which meet the needs of the local community. Berkeley has the financial strength and placemaking expertise to take on the most difficult, long-term, capital intensive developments. Transforming these underused places into successful neighbourhoods creates greater economic, social, environmental and commercial value over the full development cycle. No other UK developer has the capacity or experience to regenerate brownfield land on this scale.
