9.1 Commercial Real Estate Market Trends

The commercial real estate market in Bangladesh is poised for growth in 2025, driven by economic expansion, foreign investments, and rising demand for premium properties. Demand for office spaces and retail properties has surged in major cities like Dhaka and Chittagong, fueled by the expansion of multinational corporations and local enterprises. The market is witnessing increased adoption of innovative technologies, eco-friendly construction, and digital platforms for property management. However, high initial investment costs, market saturation in prime areas, and rising competition among developers present challenges. Government incentives, such as tax breaks and streamlined approval processes, are expected to boost the sector further.
