Constructed as an apartment complex in the 1950s, what is now known as the Bentley Square Condominiums originated as the Barcelona Bay Apartments. They continued to operate as Barcelona Bay until June 22, 1979. That day marked the conversion of Barcelona Bay apartments to the Frankford Estates Condominiums. Frankford Estates, however, was short lived. On September 11, 1980 the Bentley Square Condominiums Inc. Corporation was formed and our community as we now know it began. The Bentley Square Condominium Association is the Home Owners Association arm of the community.
The Bentley Square Condominium Association is lead by a board of Directors who are elected by the membership in good standing of the Association. The Board consists of 7 positions which are on a rotating schedule with new members elected at each Annual Membership meeting. The Board of directors has 4 officer positions of President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. The 3 remaining slots are member-at-large positions. The current Board of Director membership can be viewed on the Contact page.
