Robert Quigg (developer)
Robert Quigg (also known as Bert Quigg) is a property developer in the United States, Canada, and Australia. He was born on July 19, 1967, in British Columbia to Irish immigrant parents.[1]
At age 19, Quigg left his parents' home with $500 and an old pickup truck, and soon started building luxury developments. He went on to study and graduate from Ivey Business School, Harvard University, and Stanford University.[2][3]
Quigg's companies operate under the "Quintessentially Quigg" brand, founded by him in 1986 and specialize in high-end residential, commercial, and hospitality focused developments.[4][5][6]
Quigg's developments have fetched record-breaking sales, including the most expensive condo ever sold in British Columbia.[7][8]
In 2005, his development "The Argyle by Quigg" won Best Waterfront Development in the International Property Awards.[9][10]
In 2006, The Properties by Quigg created a new sustainable housing form, addressing the complexities of building multi-family homes in a steep mountainous setting.[11]
In 2007, Quigg designed and launched the $1.4 billion development "Capella by Quigg" on Vancouver Island at Bear Mountain.[12][13][14]
In 2016, Quigg paid funnyman Bob Newhart $14.5 million for his Wallace Neff designed Bel Air mansion.[15] Quigg then demolished the mansion.
Quigg has been compared to mega-developers Nile Niami and Mohamed Hadid as competitors in the building and selling of luxury estates in Beverly Hills and Bel Air.[16]
Quigg resides in Los Angeles, and is a member of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), the Urban Land Institute (ULI), and the Urban Development Institute (UDI).
