A Leader in Development for Over 60 Years

HISTORY

The story of Segale Properties began in 1909, when an Italian immigrant farmer, Louis Segale, purchased the family’s first land in the Tukwila valley. Louis continued to make land purchases that would be small but important beginnings for Segale Properties current real estate holdings.

In 1953, Louis’ son, Mario Segale, founder of Segale Properties, started a construction business, M.A. Segale, Inc., with a single dump truck in the same Tukwila valley. Mario, and his wife, Donna, worked side-by-side to grow the company through hard work and ingenuity. Mario’s keen business insight, dedicated employees, strategic risks, and strong determination were essential to the success of the company. Following Mario and Donna’s lead, their four children grew up working for the company and significantly contributed to its growth; all four are now a part of the management structure.

Segale Properties continues to expand and develop its commercial, industrial, agricultural, and natural resource holdings throughout Washington State.

For 45-years, M.A. Segale, Inc. was one of the most prominent heavy civil construction general contractors in the Northwest. The Company’s expertise included large scale projects such as site development, highway construction, aggregate/asphalt/concrete production, gold mining, and dam construction. While heavy civil construction was the primary focus, Mario strategically acquired land throughout Washington state, using his construction expertise to develop and grow the family’s real estate holdings. In 1998, M. A. Segale, Inc. was sold to allow the family to concentrate on its substantial real estate holdings under the name Segale Properties.

Twenty years later, Segale Properties continues to expand and develop its commercial, industrial, agricultural, and natural resource holdings throughout Washington State. In 2018, Mario Segale passed away, but his legacy lives on under the leadership of his son Mark Segale. To this day, the Segale family, including the fourth-generation, remains poised to continue the success that Mario started as they move towards the future.
