Our Strategy

At Berkeley, we take a unique approach to real estate investment and development, focusing on innovative design, dynamic properties, and thriving communities. We are nimble and full-service, leading projects from acquisition through construction and providing a range of services, from asset management and development to property management and construction management. Our strategy includes actively pursuing office, lab, industrial, and multi-family properties for redevelopment and repositioning, as well as targeting a broad spectrum of development projects, from ground-up to historic rehabilitation and from commercial and lab properties to luxury residential communities. We specialize in adaptive reuse to preserve and celebrate the historic character of properties while repositioning or repurposing buildings to today's contemporary requirements.

Acquisition

Our acquisition team actively pursues office, lab, industrial, and multi-family properties for redevelopment and repositioning. Our vertical integration allows us to add value at any point in the life cycle of a property, and we work to maximize the potential of each asset through strategic leasing, marketing, and management.

Asset Management

Our asset management team strategically positions each asset to maximize its potential, working to translate directly to our investors' bottom lines. We have a strong track record of success in positioning assets to meet the needs of the market and maximize returns for our investors.

Development

Our development team targets a broad spectrum of development projects, from ground-up to historic rehabilitation, and from commercial and lab properties to luxury residential communities. We are nimble enough to move rapidly when an opportunity presents itself, but robust in expertise and resources to ensure the successful completion of each project. Our unique focus on design and on new growth markets allows us to create dynamic properties that meet the needs of today's market.

Redevelopment

Our redevelopment team specializes in adaptive reuse, preserving and celebrating the historic character of properties while repositioning or repurposing buildings to today's contemporary requirements. We engage in asset repositioning and value-add projects, working to maximize the potential of each property and create value for our investors.

Property Management

Our property management team provides on-site operational management and works with third-party brokers on leasing our commercial properties. Our residential experts collaborate with on-site teams, overseeing operations and directing leasing and marketing efforts to ensure the success of each property.

Construction Management

Our in-house construction and development managers expertly oversee project planning, design, and construction from conception through delivery. We successfully manage our own projects while also selectively providing third-party construction management services to clients and investors.

Our Team

Berkeley's unique approach is derived from our team of exceptional people focused on creating value through investment, development, and creative thinking. With backgrounds in finance, architecture, engineering, construction, and a variety of fields within and outside the real estate space, our team brings a diverse mindset to every project. Our individual skillsets, when combined, allow Berkeley to tackle complex projects and realize value where others do not.
