At Pradella Property Ventures, our team is the backbone of our success. Led by David Pradella, our experienced professionals are dedicated to delivering excellence in every project.

David was awarded the Malcolm More Medallion for Outstanding Performance in Management Studies. He immediately proceeded to work in America for the Best Western Hotel Group as a trainee manager returning home a year later to work with Travelodge Group. Whilst overseas David observed the trend towards self catered accommodation and in 1981 with his older brother Silvio designed, built and operated the first purpose built apartment hotel complex in Australia.
David returned to Queensland University of Technology to complete his Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) on a part time basis and by 1984 had established the first serviced apartment accommodation chain in Australia under the banner Central Apartments and Hotels. Later David’s career progressed to be the Chief Financial Officer of the Pradella Group that encompassed Residential Construction, Manufacture of Steel Tube and Pipe and the Operation of serviced apartments. From 2001, David was Joint Managing Director of the Pradella Group with his younger brother Kim, which specialised in Construction, Development, Hotels and Property Management.
