Berkeley Group Holdings Plc

The Berkeley Group Holdings plc is a leader in urban regeneration with over 95% of its developments taking place on brownfield land.

The development of land involves a number of complex stages, from the initial acquisition of the land in question, through planning, designing, building and finally marketing a development.

The Berkeley Group has an unrivalled understanding of the home building market and the financial strength to deliver its pioneering approach to land development.  This gives value to its investors and promotes community regeneration throughout the country.  The Berkeley Group delivers value to its customers and stakeholders by creating high-quality developments in which people want to live, work and play.

In June 2004, The Berkeley Group Holdings plc announced the conclusion of a strategic review of its business, the outcome of which was that Berkeley will in future focus on its urban regeneration business.  In consequence it intends to return £12 per share to shareholders by January 2011.  To facilitate the return, The Berkeley Group Holdings plc completed a corporate restructuring which resulted in The Berkeley Group Holdings plc becoming the new holding company of The Berkeley Group plc in October 2004.
