Our Founders’ Story

Citiwan Development was founded by Mr. Tan Poh Teik and Mr. Tan Teck Keai, two industry professionals with diverse career backgrounds who came together to build a strong and dynamic development group with proven construction delivery capability.

     
  • Tan Poh Teik   
    began his career in 2007, gaining hands-on experience across electrical design, plantation development, and the edible bird’s nest processing industry before moving into construction. His cross-sector expertise brings unique problem-solving skills and daptability to every project.

  • Tan Teck Keai    
    started as a moulding supervisor before venturing into plantation development, where he contributed to transforming undeveloped land into productive oil palm estates. His later involvement in the processing industry and construction management adds operational  depth and leadership strength to the company.

Together, they combine vision, technical expertise, and a strong work ethic to build a company that thrives on quality, integrity, and teamwork.

He later gained valuable insights in the plantation and edible bird’s nest processing industries before moving into construction, successfully completing a residential landed housing development project and subsequently leading more projects with a focus on quality delivery.

At present, he is responsible for driving business growth, formulating strategic direction, overseeing master planning, coordinating projects, and managing sales and marketing activities.
