The Berkeley

500 S. Australian Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL

The Berkeley is a waterfront condominium development on a nearly two-acre site along Clear Lake in downtown West Palm Beach, at 500 South Australian Avenue. The tower comprises 193 units across 25 to 26 floors, with residences ranging from two-bedroom up to five-bedroom layouts, some including a flex space, a range that lets the building serve downsizing households and growing families with equal credibility. All units feature floor-to-ceiling windows, large east- and west-facing balconies for sunrise and sunset views, and open flow-through layouts, and the dual orientation is the building's best idea: a flow-through plan with balconies on both faces captures light and air across the day rather than from a single direction, which matters in a climate where cross ventilation and shade are practical concerns. Building amenities include a full suite, with a family-style pool deck, a rooftop adult pool and sky lounge, a spa and wellness center, a fitness facility, yoga and game lawns, social lounges, kids' and teen rooms, pet-friendly features including a dog run and grooming, coworking and meeting spaces, valet and concierge service, and private parking. That list is broad enough to suggest the building is designed for full-time households with children and dogs rather than for seasonal occupancy alone. The project is developed by Al Adelson of Australian Property Group with architecture by Arquitectonica, and completion is projected for 2027. For buyers looking at downtown West Palm Beach, The Berkeley pairs a lakefront site of real size with a program that anticipates daily family life. A nearly two-acre site is generous for a downtown tower, and the room that gives allows the pool deck, the lawns and the dog run to be genuinely usable rather than compressed into leftover space at the podium edge.
