The Berkeley | The Opportunity
Executive Summary
The Berkeley is more than a residence — it is an address of distinction and a strategic investment in one of Florida’s fastest-rising luxury markets. Poised on the western edge of Downtown West Palm Beach, with design by the internationally acclaimed Arquitectonica, this lakefront tower offers 193 curated residences where sunrise and sunset views frame a lifestyle of refined comfort. Early entry pricing, limited inventory, and an undersupplied luxury segment present investors with a rare opportunity for both exceptional living and compelling returns.
Market Opportunity
West Palm Beach has emerged as a premier destination for ultra-luxury buyers, fueled by wealth migration from New York, California, and global capitals. Its reputation as Wall Street South continues to strengthen, attracting financial institutions, corporate relocations, and UHNW residents. Recent record-breaking sales — including a surge in $10M+ transactions — affirm the market’s appetite for high-design, well-situated product. Developments such as South Flagler House, Olara, and Mr. C Residences have demonstrated pre-construction appreciation exceeding 30% at delivery, underscoring the potential of The Berkeley as a high-demand flip or resale asset.
