Berkeley square? I don't think so. The Berkeley Group, headed by flamboyant director Tony Pidgley, is a major British homebuilder serving the upscale market. Operating through eight divisions -- Beaufort, Berkeley Homes, Crosby Homes, St. Andrew, St. David, St. George, St. James Homes, and Thirlstone -- Berkeley operates throughout much of England, Scotland, and Wales. Each year Berkeley sells some 2,900 homes averaging at £251,000. The firm has expanded its land bank, focusing on turning brownfields (urban renewal sites that make up 90% of the company's landholdings) into luxury developments. Berkeley also has interests in commercial building, college dormitory housing, hospitals, and luxury apartments.
