MARC ROMANO

DEVELOPER

Marc’s vision for Maréa is shaped by a desire to create a more intimate and design-focused alternative to larger-scale coastal developments. Drawing on extensive experience delivering luxury homes and multi-residential projects along the Eastern Seaboard, he recognised the Coolangatta site’s potential to become a boutique address defined by craftsmanship, quality and liveability. As Director of Morgs Build Construction Company and OC2 Construction & Development, Marc has developed strong expertise across construction, project delivery and development management. His qualifications in carpentry, building and construction from the Master Builders Association are supported by ongoing leadership certifications from Harvard Graduate School of Education. Working closely with the project team, he helped guide Maréa from concept to completion with a focus on refined detail, robust materials and the elevated standards expected at the premium end of the market.

"I'm immensely proud to bring this project to market and have the pleasure of working with a team of professionals operating at the highest level"
