Chittagong Project

‘Iconic’ convention center to add colour to Ctg
AKM Moinuddin
Thursday, July 18th, 2013

Chittagong, the country’s commercial capital, will soon have a multi-storey modern convention centre-cum-commercial building, meeting the long-pending demand of Chittagonians. Sena Kalyan Sangstha (SKS) has taken up the about Tk 300 crore project on 1.46 acres of land at Kazir Dewri proposed by Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) Chairman Abdus Salam. “We’ve already demolished 3/4th of the old Enesel Bhaban. The demolition work will complete soon. We want to make the best use of the next dry season for the construction work,” General Manager of the SKS (Real Estate Division) Engineer Major M Rezaul Karim told Dhaka Courier. He said they had initially set a budget of Tk 250 crore for the 32-storey centre which will be implemented by next three years. “The budget might even exceed Tk 300 crore.” Rezaul Karim said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to inaugurate the construction work on the project in September next. “We’ve approved the project plan …we’re closely linked to it and monitor its work from time to time,” CDA Chairman Abdus Salam told Dhaka Courier. According to the project plan, the convention centre will have a height equal to 32-storey one but it will be a 20-25 storey building with the parking facility for 400 vehicles. “The first six levels will be the convention centre.” The convention centre will have seminar halls, a mini theater, restaurants, a three-star hotel, office spaces commercial institutions, display centres, revolving restaurants on the top floor and a helipad. Officials said over 2,500 audience will be able to enjoy any event together at the convention centre. Meanwhile, the ground floor of the convention centre will allow hosting traditional mejban (grand feast) or fair for over 2000 visitors or guests. Environment and Forests Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud has already visited the project site and told the local journalists that it was a long-pending demand of the Chittagonians to have an international convention centre. He said the present government has worked for the project but it was delayed due to land acquisition-related complexities. Later, the SKS agreed to construct the convention centre-cum-commercial building after a series of discussions with the CDA. Hasan Mahmud said though the space is not big enough, the location is nice and people from all parts of the country can have easy access to the centre. Major Rezaul Karim said the convention centre, once built, will be an iconic project in the city as well as in the country. He said the convention centre will have modern fire safety facilities, and they have a plan to ensure 25 percent power through solar energy. Sources said China and Japan have already expressed interest to finance the project but it might be implemented through Trust Bank loan if any foreign support is not found. However, the issue of financing will hopefully be settled within a couple of months. The prime minister is expected to lay the foundation stone in September of this year.
