Our Story
Marga Group is a diverse international corporate with a local ASEAN presence. Our story is built upon an unwavering commitment to excellence supported by our diverse and deep experiences in our industries. Our shareholders and directors are comprised of world-class professionals from Hong Kong, Korea, Australia and the United Kingdom. Individually and collectively, our team has completed landmark projects around the world. Our core competencies lie in real estate, telecommunications, consumer retail and healthcare, and we aim to become the most trusted and reputable foreign business in the ASEAN markets.
While commercial success is paramount to any business, commitment to community care is equally, if not more, important for us. Marga Group pledges a minimum 2% of annual profits to corporate social responsibility on our investments.
Pursuit of Excellence
Over the years, our team has pursued excellence in everything we touch. This state of mind is central to our group’s success.
In real estate, this allows us to break away from the industry norms to craft finer residential living spaces and better commercial areas that raise the bar in luxury living and professional working standards. In telecommunications and healthcare, this motivates us to deliver better solutions to corporates and individuals at competitive prices. In consumer retail, this drives us to bring innovative experiences and products for markets that we serve. Our service is unparalleled as we go above and beyond to make a distinction between scripted service and authentic engagement. In all the industries that we touch, we know our customers and we deliver on their needs.
Marga Group has established the reputation of being a top developer of luxury real estate in Southeast Asia. Winning in all categories entered, Marga Landmark and its flagship project, The Central, made a clean sweep of the Myanmar Property Awards 2017. The Central received the most awards – winning Best Condo Development, Best Retail Development, Best Mixed Use Development, Best Universal Design Development, Best Developer as well as Special Recognition in Corporate Social Responsibility. This award-winning success has only continued: In 2019 The Central won 2 additional awards at the Myanmar National Real Estate Awards, and in 2020 The Central became recognized among the very best mixed-use developments in Asia Pacific with 4 more awards at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2020.
Phase 1 of our flagship project comprising of nearly 300 units were completely reserved within a week. These units have been built to the highest standard, handed over to our customers, and now occupied by high quality tenants. We have introduced many new standards into the market and built a state-of-the-art luxury showroom that still stands as the market leader today.
Diversity and Depth of Experiences
Marga Group recognizes that corporate diversity strengthens our company’s culture and abilities.
Through diversity, we enrich our business environment, creating more effective relationships with our employees, our customers, and the communities in which we live and work. Our team represents over 7 countries and we have worked in more. While breadth of experiences is vital to the success of every development, the depth of our experiences is what sets us apart from our peers. Our international team has extensive real estate development, corporate finance, telecommunications and fund management experience in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Middle East, Thailand, Singapore, United Kingdom and the United States of America. We are the most experienced team in town.
Firmwide Culture of Social Responsibility
We have established a firm-wide culture of social responsibility.
Marga is an active member of United Nations Global Compact since 2015. We follow and implement the UN Global Compact Ten Principles and submit annual reports on our progress. www.unglobalcompact.org
We have the most comprehensive corporate social responsibility program in town. Our program benefits the lives and addresses the needs of different groups and communities ranging from disaster victims, orphans, the elderly to young musicians and professionals. We have created four initiatives: Marga Community Care which advocates responsive, direct and continuous actions to relieve and assist in the needs of deprived communities and Buddhist establishments; Marga Youth Foundation which sets out to nurture and empower young people in their pursuit of excellence in academics and professional development; Marga Clean Water Initiative which provides clean water access to schools and communities in need; and Marga SME Initiative which brings up the living standards of communities by mobilizing, motivating and maintaining continuous actions of love and care, and by nurturing the young entrepreneurs. In the past few years, more than 200 Marga employees, family and friends came together to care, to give, to share and to make a difference in the communities where we work and live.
