Berkeley Group: brownfield regeneration and new build homes in London, Birmingham and the South of England

Berkeley Group has been building homes and neighbourhoods since 1976, with activity concentrated in London, Birmingham and the South of England. The company states that its focus is brownfield regeneration: reviving underused land to create what it describes as sustainable, nature-rich places. Over the last fifty years it reports having taken part in some of the UK's most significant regeneration projects, converting former industrial and underused land into places to live and work.

Scale of the operation

The figures published on its site give a sense of the size of the business: 30 long-term brownfield regeneration sites, 90% of homes delivered on brownfield land, a £13.7bn contribution to UK GDP over the past five years and an average of 27,300 UK jobs supported per year.

The housing portfolio

The range of developments spans traditional family homes in the countryside, city apartments and mixed-use schemes. The current portfolio includes London addresses such as South Quay Plaza (E14), Regent's View in Bethnal Green (E2), White City Living (W12) and Camden Goods Yard (NW1). The catalogue lists indicative price ranges for these developments, from £527,000 at Regent's View to £3,990,000 at White City Living. The company also publishes a portfolio document covering its developments across its three main areas of operation.

Buying support and services for buyers

Alongside the homes themselves, the site sets out a series of tools aimed at buyers: a mortgage payment calculator, guidance for first-time buyers, an explanation of the steps to buying a new build, a section on reasons to buy a new build and the MyHome Plus programme. It also presents Own New: Rate Reducer, a scheme referenced in its buyer information. The company publishes a customer commitment statement and a building safety pledge.

Berkeley Living: entry into build to rent

Berkeley Living is the group's professionally managed rental arm, extending its design and customer service approach to rented housing within established Berkeley developments. Foundry Yard at Alexandra Gate is scheduled to be the first Berkeley Living community to open, offering studios through to three-bedroom homes to rent from early 2026.

Recognition and corporate profile

The company states that it was rated WhatHouse? Best Large Housebuilder 2025. It operates as a listed group with an investors section covering annual reports, corporate governance, directors' shareholdings, ESG reporting, debt investors, regulatory news and results announcements. Its published news includes a piece by executive chair Rob Perrins on stamp duty reform, the securing of a long-term home for Hart Men's Shed at Hartland Village and a visit to Great Linford in connection with Eastbrook Village in Milton Keynes.

Community and environmental commitments

The site frames its approach around long-term thinking on climate and nature, places and communities, and people and culture. Among the concrete examples given are the Big Berkeley Biathlon, which raised more than £70,000 for youth homelessness, and the Eastbrook Village project, presented as combining new homes with nature recovery.
