High-Rise Harry Biography

High-Rise Harry is the authorised biography of Harry Triguboff, one of Australia’s most remarkable entrepreneurs and the visionary founder of Meriton. With a career spanning over six decades, Harry has built, sold, and leased more apartments and hotel suites than anyone else in the country, earning him the title of Australia’s “Apartment King.”

Born in 1933 in Tianjin, China – the port gateway to Beijing – Harry’s journey began far from the Australian property market. After moving to Australia, he worked tirelessly to establish himself, founding Meriton in 1963. From these humble beginnings, he built a property development empire that would transform skylines and redefine modern living.

In High-Rise Harry, Harry shares the challenges he faced and the obstacles he overcame, including navigating complex regulations and “red tape.” His story offers rare insight into the mindset, determination, and relentless drive that has fuelled his success – and continues to do so at the age of 91.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a business enthusiast, or simply love an inspiring success story, this book provides an engaging, behind-the-scenes look at the making of one of Australia’s richest and most influential figures.
