The Berkeley

The Berkeley is a condominium at 550 South Australian Avenue in West Palm Beach, on the shore of Clear Lake a few minutes from downtown. Al Adelson, the developer behind The Bristol, is building it. Arquitectonica, led by Bernardo Fort-Brescia, designed the architecture, Arquitectonica Interiors the interiors and EDSA the landscape. Residences range from two to five bedrooms.

Floor plans run through the building, with terraces on both the east and west sides, and the developer pairs morning light over the Atlantic with sunsets over Clear Lake. Ceilings are nine to ten feet with floor-to-ceiling windows. The feature list includes a private elevator vestibule with a butler's pantry, and each residence has a flex room that can work as an office, library or guest room. The developer lists European white oak floors, Snaidero Italian cabinetry, Waterworks fixtures and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and notes that select residences have unobstructed views across Clear Lake.

Shared spaces are spread over three levels. The ground floor has the concierge, a porte-cochère with valet, a social lounge, a board room with co-working space, and a covered dog run with a grooming area. The seventh floor holds the fitness center, a golf simulator with lounges, a pool with cabanas, a splash pad, a summer kitchen, spa treatment rooms and an outdoor theater lawn. On the roof are a second pool open to the sky, an indoor-outdoor lounge and a party room with a chef's kitchen that doubles as a private dining room.

The developer's location page puts the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts about a five-minute walk away and CityPlace about ten minutes on foot. The Norton Museum of Art, the Brightline station and Palm Beach International Airport are each a short drive, and the planned Cleveland Clinic and Vanderbilt University campuses are close by.
