Gold Coast property developer Tye Alroe has died suddenly at the age of 39. The founder and chief executive of Alroe Constructions suffered a heart attack while exercising at a Burleigh Heads gym on Tuesday afternoon. He collapsed after feeling unwell, and emergency service workers were unable to revive him. Alroe initially embarked on a career in rugby league, being contracted by NRL side Melbourne Storm, but he left before making his debut and entered the construction industry instead. In 2012, he founded Alroe, which currently has $250 million worth of projects under way or in planning, according to its website. Several figures within the Gold Coast construction industry paid tribute to him after his sudden death. “The loss of a pioneer, someone that never quits, never takes no as an answer! You will never be forgotten,” says an Instagram post from Capra Build Co. “Unfortunately, we have lost one of the better people in this world,” begins an Instagram post by Callum Smith of Bluewater Interiors. “I’m sure you will be missed by many. You have made a positive impact on so many people and will no doubt be remembered.” Alroe is survived by his partner, Nikki, daughter Poppy, his mum and dad, Vicki and John, and his sister, Courtney.
