Property development

Warren Perry Anderson (born 1942) is an Australian businessman and speculative investor whose net worth in 1990 was estimated by the BRW magazine at $190 million, although the following year he was reported to have debts of $500 million. and filed for bankruptcy.

He has been a principal in major developments in Perth, Darwin and Melbourne. He has owned prestigious properties such as Boomerang, a mansion in Sydney's eastern suburbs, and Tipperary, a premier cattle and crop station in the Northern Territory. He has claimed to have been unfairly stripped of A$50 million in the course of the WA Inc bailout of Rothwells Bank, and was involved in the collapse of Firepower International.

Anderson has been associated with some of Australia's largest developments – the $1 billion-plus Westralia Square skyscraper in Perth, 50 Coles and K mart supermarkets around Australia, the new Parliament House complex in Darwin, and at least six major office blocks in the Melbourne CBD, including redevelopment of the Windsor Hotel site opposite Parliament House.

He has conducted dealings and partnerships with billionaire businessman Kerry Packer, John Roberts of the construction giant Multiplex, which built most of his developments, and WA Inc entrepreneur Alan Bond. His political networking led to close associations with prominent ALP players Brian Burke, Paul Keating, Graham Richardson and many others.
