Article from Gold Coast Bulletin:

Return of the king

16May07

HARRY Triguboff, Australia's most prolific developer of high-rise apartments, is preparing to move into the Brisbane market with a bang by building a 70-level tower.

Mr Triguboff's Meriton group has amalgamated a site in the Brisbane central business district on which it plans a slimline apartment building.

The tower will have ground floor shops, a commercial podium, serviced apartments in the first 30 levels, and a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom apartments on the rest of the levels.

The project, which is subject to development approvals, will surpass the 67 floors in the Aurora tower, completed last year by Amalgamated Properties.

In height terms, its 250m elevation will match that of a 70-level tower planned by the APH consortium at 480 Queen Street.

The move into Brisbane represents the opening of a third development front by Mr Triguboff, who has been building in Sydney for more than 45 years.

He travelled to Brisbane in 1981 to explore property opportunities, decided the city was 'a backwater', and then went down the road to start developing projects on the Gold Coast.

He has built a dozen high rises in Australia's tourism capital and is part way through a $1 billion redevelopment of the former Sundale shopping centre site in the heart of Southport.

Mr Triguboff said yesterday that Brisbane had evolved into a vibrant city since his visit there 26 years ago.

"The market seems very buoyant and the city council appears to welcome development," he said.

Mr Triguboff said the Brisbane buy does not necessarily signal a major move into that market.

"We are in some ways testing the water with this project," he said.

"Brisbane has a lot of catching up to do in the residential high-rise field compared with Surfers Paradise."

Mr Triguboff said an influencing factor in his Brisbane move has been signs of an improvement in the Sydney market.

"When Sydney prices go up people sell and move to southeast Queensland.

"I want to be part of the welcoming party for them in Brisbane," said Mr Triguboff.

Meriton's Brisbane site is on the corner of Adelaide and Boundary streets and consists of five titles spanning 1500 square metres.

The price being paid for the holding, which is home to commercial-retail buildings, has not been disclosed.

The site settlement is due to take place in November.

Mr Triguboff, 74, was born in China and arrived in Australia when he was 14.

He has built thousands of high-rise apartments since embarking on a development career in Sydney in the early 1960s.

America's Forbes magazine in March rated him the 407th richest person in the world with a fortune of $US2.3 billion ($2.77 billion).

dsfenasni · October 10th, 2007, 12:40 AM

neilo63 · October 10th, 2007, 05:41 AM

Hope it is a decent design. Not to be a downer but in Sydney Meriton are thought of as we think of Devine Though personally i think Devine are shitter, and Meriton did do a very decent job on the GC. Should be a decent cluster of tall skinny towers in that precinct soon!

KJBrissy · October 10th, 2007, 05:51 AM

Great news. Love these determined developers that get things done!

Brissy4me · October 10th, 2007, 01:12 PM

Meriton have done a good job in Sydney in recent years with World Tower and Meriton, both great towers. I don't think he will let Brisbane down.

nismo33 · October 11th, 2007, 12:10 PM

Meriton tower isn't bad but it spoils the Sydney gem that is the Ernst & Young building. They don't have the northbound neons on anymore.

CULWULLA · October 12th, 2007, 12:37 AM

thats what you get for putting an office tower 15m away from an apartment tower. but it is lit from other side.
im busting to see this new tower!
