Dynamic Construction Firm Building Four-Star Hotels

Taw Win Construction, a family-owned enterprise launched in 1986, is playing a key role in building Myanmar’s future. As part of its corporate-social-responsibility effort, the company constructed 5,000 low-cost-housing units following the Nargis typhoon in 2008.

U Ko Ko Htwe, Chairman, explains that Taw Win is now focusing on Myanmar’s tourism sector and is building several hotels and shopping malls across the country. Taw Win’s tourism projects include the Mandalay Novotel and a new 500-room, four-star hotel complex in Yangon, Myanmar’s former capital but still the commercial hub of the country. He says, “There is an undersupply of hotels in Yangon and Taw Win looks forward to playing a greater role in filling that gap.”
