5. Bashundhara is situated in a residential area of Vatara Thana
in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
This area is developed by Bashundhara Group.
It is recognized as one of the most significant planned housing
areas in Bangladesh.
In the 1980s, the project was started by Ahmed Ikbal Sobhan.
In 2011 segments of the housing project was declared
unauthorized as they were in considerable flood flow zone
areas.
In 2014 a cabinet committee held a meeting to rechange the
Dhaka Detailed Area Plan (DAP) map to make the project
legalized.
The project was established on the area filled up low-lying
marshland areas. The project has been sold over 10,000 as of
2005 for the residential purpose with all other amenities.
Land value at 1988 per katha was 1 lakh, After 35 years it
increases 200% and the price is now almost 2 corer/katha.
Though the area is a little bit far from the current commercial
hubs like Motijheel and Gulshan areas, people still find it
suitable due to the peace, serenity and security of the
area.

Initiative
Parents and one or two children make up the majority of families nowadays, and they prefer to live in flats with two or three rooms.
The majority of the units are between 1,000 and 1,600 square feet in size. The real estate industry hasn’t fully been able to solve the
problem of low-income housing since just 2% of residential flats are less than 700 square feet. But more people are getting interested
in purchasing small apartments, as the number of nuclear families is increasing. However, people prefer having at least a three-
bedroom apartment. (Source: Anwar Landmark)

25. S.W.O.T ANALYSIS
STRENGTH WEAKNESESS OPPORTUNITY THREATS
The related plot is in full
residential environment and near
two educational institute.
Traffic rush at school time, more
traffic and populated in roads.
More facilities likes (gym, pool,
day care, well being) can be
provided in
Apartments.
South face is blocked by the
near apartments building so the
south ventilation and day light
may interrupt.
Site is faced towards North and
East site is also preferable.
Lack of recreational facilities
and public amenities and market,
shops are quite away.
Large, luxurious and comfortable
apartments can be designed.
Lack of public amenities or
facilities in apartment may lead to
less rent price or unsold of flats.
Well access & connectivity.
The site is surrounded by two
active roads. One is 25’ Wide road,
another is 40’ wide road.
Building height restrictions for
the air funneling zone (OLS).
Heights limited to 150’.
School and Mosque is near the
site, so it is a good chance to rent
or sell the flats easily.
Roads are under maintenance all
time, so the residents may facing
the difficulty of access.
More secured area and well
developed residential area, best for
any type of apartments or housing.
Monotonous apartments and
buildings arrangement and height.
Public facilities or amenities can
be served for other residents as
well.
No public transport, only
rickshaws and private vehicles.
This will lost interest to buy flats
here and house rent.
