Dhaka, the vibrant capital of Bangladesh, is about to see a transformative addition to its skyline designed by renowned studio THE OFFICE OF METROPOLITIAN ARCHITECTS (OMA), NETHERLANDS. Once built, this 1.5 million sq ft high-rise office building will become one of the country’s tallest buildings and destined to be the next iconic landmark of the city.
Located at Tejgaon, overlooking the Hatirjheel Lake, Dhaka Tower will symbolize the nation’s ambitions and become a significant addition to the city’s evolving skyline.
Featuring six basements accommodating 724 cars it will ensure convenient parking. Upon stepping into the 54 feet high atrium, occupants will be welcomed into a lofty and versatile space. It will boast an exhibition space extending to a height of 130 feet, while on the top level will be a fine dining restaurant, adjacent to a publicly accessible two-tier observation deck providing sweeping views of the metropolis. The podium levels will host a variety of amenities and spaces which will include banks, ATMs, a food court, cafes, retail outlets, and showrooms.
Dhaka Tower will feature a total of 21 high-speed elevators including separate Service/Fireman’s Elevators, a state-of-the-art firefighting and smoke detection system designed by IGnesis Consultants, an integrated Building management system (iBMS), a central security system and more. The structural, MEP, and facade designs of the tower have been meticulously crafted by the Meinhardt Group, Singapore.
