NIGEL SATTERLEY AM
With Rob Langton
FOUNDER AND CEO: SATTERLEY PROPERTY GROUP
In the first in-depth profile of his career, Nigel shares his remarkable journey, the challenges he’s been able to overcome & the fundamental drivers for success in business & in life.
In a remarkable five-decade plus career, Nigel has become a cornerstone member of Australia’s property & business sectors, establishing the Satterley business over the past forty years to become the Country’s largest privately-owned residential development firm whilst cementing his extraordinary legacy through his contribution to a broad range of philanthropic causes. Born in the pastoral township of Cunderdin, Western Australia, Nigel moved to Perth in his late- teens armed with a thirst for knowledge and an uncompromising approach to ‘make it’ in the big City - his first break arriving aged 20 after being appointed State Representative & distributor for Western Australia of legendary retailer, Levi Jeans. Following the encouragement by some of Perth’s leading business identities to begin investing in & developing real estate, Nigel formed Statesman Homes in his 20’s, a business which went on to become one of the State’s largest residential home- builders generating some 650 completions per annum. By 1980 & following the sale of Statesman Homes, Nigel moved into broad-acre land development under the Satterley Property Group banner, upending the traditional approach to large-scale subdivisions by
introducing master-planned communities which emphasised amenity & lifestyle facilities. Over the course of the ensuing forty plus years, Satterley Property Group has grown to have operations across Australia, most notably in Western Australia & Victoria, and has delivered over 180 master planned estates, sold 85,000 residential lots of land and boasts a pipeline of in excess of 45,000 lots. In addition to the success he’s achieved in the property industry, Nigel is highly-respected for his enormous contributions to both the State of Western Australia as well as a number of organisations across the Country. He currently serves as a Foundation Board Member of the National Portrait Gallery and has previously served on a number of boards and initiatives including as a Councillor of the WA Police & Community Youth Centres, Patron of the St John of God Hospital Cancer Centre and Life Member of the West Coast Eagles AFL club to name but a few. Amongst a number of awards, Nigel was also honoured a Doctor of Business from Edith Cowan University in 2015 for his contribution to the Western Australian Housing Industry and the community more broadly.
