m

Dhaka Tower is a 150 m (490 ft) tall, 38-storey skyscraper, currently being constructed at Dhaka’s Tejgaon Industrial Area, on the shores of Hatirjheel Lake. The building is a project of the Dhaka-based real estate firm, Shanta Holdings, while the Netherlands’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture has designed it. Once completed, the high rise will stand 150 metres, making it one of the tallest buildings in both the city and the country. It will feature 180,000 square metres of office space. OMA partner Iyad Alsaka designed the skyscraper, with him claiming that Bangladesh's rapidly growing economy was the inspiration for the design.
