Berkshire Winter Park repairs the urban fabric in a challenging location, supporting north Orlando’s growing population with a thoughtful design. Built between I-4 and the surrounding neighborhood, Berkshire replaced a vacant parking lot while buffering the busy interstate’s noise, and its narrow facades present a respectful, unimposing presence to the existing homes and businesses.
Beyond the typical high-end apartment conveniences, Berkshire Winter Park attracts a community of creative, urbane professionals with an abundance of modern concepts. Amenities include a podcasting studio, creative work room, pet spa/lounge, and outdoor recreational areas, while numerous old growth live oak trees were preserved in the development of various courtyards and gathering spaces. The project even takes advantage of the adjoining elevated highway infrastructure to provide a wonderful, surprisingly quiet garden muse.
Berkshire is a successful addition to the community and contributes to the critical mass that sustainably supports the nearby medical complex, local businesses, and SunRail mass transit system. It was recognized with an SEBC Silver Aurora Award for Best Multifamily Housing Community and was named a Golden Brick Award Finalist in Residential Development.
