Motijheel, Dhaka

Motijheel is the heart of Dhaka and has more corporate offices than any other region in Dhaka. It has the largest central business district and commercial hub in Dhaka and arguably the largest in Bangladesh. In Motijheel, you can find all different types of businesses from sectors ranging from financial services to news and media.

This area houses the country's largest number of corporate headquarters and banks. Grand hotels and media publishers are based in Motijheel. Also, the head offices of two of the largest conglomerates of Bangladesh, Akij Group and Anwar Group of industries are inside Motijheel.

The road infrastructure is well-constructed, and there are multiple inter-district bus counters by the Toyenbee Circular Road, along with rickshaws and tempos. Motijheel is also in close proximate to the country’s three most important gateway terminals- Kamalapur Railway Staton, BRTC CBS-2 Bus Terminal, and Sadarghat.

There are many good hospitals in and around the Motijheel area, and there is no shortage of mosques here, especially the Baitul Mukarram mosque in Paltan. Also, there are several temples including Sri Sri Durga Mandir and Motijheel Hindupara Mandir inside the AGB colony.

There are not many notable shopping malls inside the Motijheel area besides Fakirapool Market, but we can find great stores, brand showrooms, and flea markets all around the area. Also within the thana, we can find the Baitul Mukarram Market and Polwel Super Market, which are just one rickshaw ride away from the area.

Overall, Motijheel is not necessarily the perfect place to raise a young family, but it still offers plenty of diversity and proximity to many corporate headquarters. It is an ideal location for young executives working in corporate or finance and enjoying the fast-moving city life in the country’s most famous commercial hub and central business district.
