Buy easy. Buy well.

The name is inspired by the Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles located in the coastal city of Tripoli, Lebanon. Co-founder Jadd Chahal had grown up not too far from the Citadel, commuting past it every day on the way to school, always mesmerized by how proudly it stood perched in the city center between the markets, cafes, and apartments.

‘The significance of the Citadel is in it’s fortitude, the ability to withstand many passing empires and uphold its legacy as a symbol of both architectural strength as well as symbolic pride for the city.’

Fast forward a few decades, the Citadel has continued its significance inspiring our values of foundational fortitude & Legacy in wealth to sustain current & future generations of clients in Australia. At Citadel, our mission is to build, sustain and grow our clients’ wealth creation journey through the property market to new heights.
