About Jan van der Bergh

With over 15 years in the development sector, Jan van der Bergh is a Senior Development Manager at Mulpha Australia, one of the country’s leading property developers and investors.Jan has delivered complex mixed-use projects in Sydney and London, consistently translating values into tangible value — guided by the belief that while there’s a moral obligation to do the right thing, lasting impact only comes when it also drives a strong commercial outcome.He has been a driving force behind the Norwest Quarter, a $1.5 billion urban precinct setting a benchmark for large-scale sustainable living in Australia.A passionate advocate for modern methods of construction (MMC), Jan sees it as central to unlocking Australia’s housing supply challenge. He has delivered projects using volumetric and panelised systems and undertaken R&D with the Building 4.0 CRC. His study tour of San Francisco and Berkeley deepened his insight into how MMC can reshape delivery models — bringing efficiency, repeatability, and design integrity to scalable housing without losing human or environmental value.Driven by sustainability and legacy, Jan focuses on creating developments that not only meet today’s standards but anticipate tomorrow’s needs. His perspective is shaped by family and a belief in balancing ambition with living fully in the present — building places people value now and that will continue to serve future generations.
