Through a series of predecessor entities the Berkshire story goes back to 1969. Since that time Berkshire's senior management has witnessed impressive expansions in the real estate markets and prevailed through significant declines. These shifting economic and real estate market conditions called for management's resourcefulness in determining appropriate financial structure and property portfolio mix. Ownership structures have included both public and private limited partnerships, a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust and a subsequent $1.3 billion privatization of the company. Today there are more than 26,000 apartment units under management and a period of rapid growth is forecasted.

Berkshire Property Advisors is located in Boston, Massachusetts. There is a national office located in Atlanta, Georgia with regional and district offices located in Texas, Maryland and Florida. Throughout Berkshire's history, the company's guiding principle has remained a commitment to providing exceptional service to residents and a challenging and rewarding work environment for staff. Sustained by this foundation, the company has been able to capitalize on its experience in the financial markets to create economic opportunities within the real estate industry.
