Each apartment development is an evolution in quality and design, driven by a deeper understanding of the way people want to live.

“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.”

Mr Harry Triguboff A.O. PhD (Hon) HU, DUniv Griff.

Meriton’s Founder

As founder and Managing Director of The Meriton Group of Companies, Harry Triguboff A.O. has overseen the construction of more than 75,000 residential dwellings, and has won numerous awards for his contributions to the 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 in Sydney, before attending Leeds University in England. He graduated with a degree in textile engineering and began his working life in textile businesses in Israel and South Africa, returning to Australia in 1960.

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.

In recognition of his efforts, Harry Triguboff has received two honorary doctorates, and the following honours and awards: IJ 1990 Member of the Order of Australia (AM)

IJ 1999 Officer of the Order of Australia (AO)

IJ 2003 & 2009 Property Person of the Year by Urban Taskforce – the first person to receive this award twice

IJ 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year

IJ 2008 Honorary doctorate from Hebrew University of Jerusalem

IJ 2011 Winner of the Gold Harold Award in the Humanitarian Category

IJ 2012 Honorary doctorate from Griffith University, Queensland

2016Flagship Venture Meriton’s embarks on its largest project in 50 years - a 16ha-plus site at Pagewood with over 3000 apartments.

1963Laying Foundations Harry Triguboff set his career foundations with just three staff, constructing an eight-block apartment in Tempe. The entire block would sell for £25,500.

A successful history

Established in 1963, Meriton has made a significant impact on the Australian landscape. We have designed, developed and built an estimated one in 10 apartments in Sydney, along with some of the tallest residential towers in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Like our apartments, Meriton’s sales, leasing and property have evolved over time in response to market conditions. Our luxury accommodation brand Meriton Suites now leads the industry. We have spearheaded the apartment revolution with sophisticated, high-quality apartments that continue to increase in popularity.

1970’sAdaptation During a tough market, Harry opted to adapt and lease Meriton apartments rather than sell them – a winning strategy still fundamental to Meriton’s business.

1984Golden Expansion Meriton expanded to the Gold Coast, with the acquisition of sites at Main Beach and Surfers Paradise.

2010Selling Solutions Meriton Resales division launched, on-selling Meriton apartments for its loyal customers.

1989Bank on us Meriton Property Finance launched as an alternative financing solution to the major banks. 1969

Flagship Development The success of Harry’s largest development of 18 apartments in Meriton Street, Gladesville gave birth to the company name ‘Meriton’.

2009Strength in Strata The Strata Management division launched to manage the day-to-day running of each development.

2003Stay Your Way Meriton Suites formerly known as Meriton Serviced Apartments launched as Meriton’s accommodation brand, offering 26 hotel-style apartments at Bondi Junction.

Retail and Commercial Specialists

As Meriton continues to focus on creating mixed-use developments, the need for building and managing quality retail and commercial centres is paramount.

Over 28,641 sqm of space across seven retail precincts

Meriton’s portfolio spans major economic zones such as Sydney CBD, Chatswood CBD, Parramatta CBD and the suburban hubs of Bondi Junction, Mascot and Southport, Gold Coast.

Retail is located within major apartment developments, unlocking access to thousands of apartment tenants and channelling high visitor traffic from the popular Meriton Suites.

We lease to national chains and boutique owner-operators, providing a convenient and niche shopping experience that adds to the area’s economic growth and creates thousands of employment opportunities.

Importantly, Meriton’s 100 per cent completion record of all projects provides certainty to our retail and commercial tenants that leases will commence on time.

Growth in childcare

Already with 15 years’ experience in the childcare sector, Meriton is planning an additional 12 centres within our future developments, expanding placements for an extra 1,000 children.

Working with reputable childcare operators, Meriton helps satisfy increasing demand for childcare by developing market leading facilities that benefit our residents and surrounding families.
