Anja Park, principal of Anja Park Design, curated the interiors for The Charley’s lobby, communal lounge and patio, dedicated work areas, roof deck, and coffee bar, as well as creating a staged model unit which offers “an immediate memorable impression with distinct wall and furniture colors to clearly distinguish areas to lounge, dine, work and sleep while embracing an aspirational and cozy feeling.” She said, “New residents will appreciate the communal spaces that are grounded with calm, warm tones inspired by the outdoors with pops of color to infuse a fresh, new perspective. Shades of deep purples and chartreuse make for a unique, memorable palette whether you’re gathering with friends or enjoying some private moments in our common spaces.”
Kevin Longo, Berkeley’s development and asset manager, said, “Our location, with easy access to major roadways like Soldiers Field Road and Memorial Drive, along with nearby public transportation and trails, is a major draw for residents who work and maintain an active and flourishing lifestyle in the general vicinity. Boston Landing, Arsenal Yards and Western Avenue are just around the corner, which provide ample options for live music, and some of the city’s best dining and cocktail destinations just outside Charley’s front door. This is balanced urban living at its best.”
The project team for The Charley also included Höweler + Yoon and VMY, architects; OJB, landscape architect; ReyCon, general contractor; and Princeton Properties, property manager and leasing agent. Financing was provided by Salem Five Bank.
