What company or companies will fill it? Also what will it be used for?

Not known at this point. Structure and some cladding is visible. If you're talking tenants, I have no idea.

Probably some large multinational outfit since it is commercial office space.

Please watch the video starting at 0:37. I am a bit surprised that if you are from Dhaka you are not familiar with the location, which is in Tejgaon close to Hatirjheel drive. Probably you are not then?

He is a British citizen of Bangladeshi descent.

From what he's told me, he's only been to Bangladesh thrice so it's no surprise he's a little confused.


Dhaka is massive, did I tell you I avoid Dhaka like the plague ?


I'm forced to visit at times for legal paperwork, I fall sick everytime, I think the problem is in my head, I'm fine when in Chittagong but when I fly to Dhaka, I overthink about mosquitos, muggers, hostile people and then before I know it I'm feeling nauseous and sick.


Dhaka makes me sick.


More to do with paranoia than anything else I suppose.

I hope the public transport improvements and moving the garments factories out of the capital will help. Maximum pressure is by factories located within the city, the licenses of which should never have been given in the first place.
