“These are the good years.

In more than 50 years of designing,

building and selling apartments,

Australia has never seen a

more exciting time than we’re

experiencing right this moment.

The housing market is booming, with property

investment and construction activity at an

all-time high. Interest in real estate continues

to be our national obsession, and people continue

to fall in love with their dream apartments.

I have held faithfully to the core promise

with which I started my business more than

50 years ago: specialising in apartments

and making them the best they can be,

while offering value for money. I still believe

that apartments are a natural means to the

end we seek most: comfort, lifestyle, and

proximity to the city and places we work.

Meriton takes pride in contributing to the

nation’s housing needs by providing you with

investment opportunities, superior apartments

and a place to call home. I have built my

business on listening to you, my customers,

and welcome your ideas on new features,

designs and locations. We hope you enjoy

browsing this book about our history

and all we have to offer.”

Founder

As founder and Managing

Director of The Meriton Group

of Companies, Harry Triguboff A.O.

has overseen the construction

of more than 65,000 residential

dwellings, and has won numerous

Australian property industry.

Born in Dalian, China in 1933, Harry spent his

early childhood in the Russian community of

Tianjin south of Beijing. He came to Australia

in 1948 and was educated at Scots College

Harry Triguboff became an Australian

citizen in 1961. He drove a taxi and owned

a milk run before building his first block

of apartments and establishing Meriton

in 1963 at just 30 years of age. Since then,

he has become Australia’s most successful

residential property developer and a generous

philanthropist, donating millions of dollars

each year to many causes. Harry Triguboff

is still passionately involved in the design

and construction of all projects.
