City Bank Tower, Commercial building in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
City Bank Tower is a modern commercial building with 21 floors in central Dhaka, rising to approximately 85 meters high. The structure houses extensive office spaces for businesses and organizations, with a contemporary design that shapes the skyline.
Jiban Bima Tower was built after 1975 by the Concord Group in Motijheel, Dhaka's central business district. It rises 84.62 m (278 ft) over 21 floors. The sources do not give an exact completion year, and the building no longer houses the head office of Jiban Bima Corporation, which has moved elsewhere.
The building is widely called Jiban Bima Tower after the Jiban Bima Corporation, the state life-insurance body whose head office it once housed. Its name is still used locally even though the corporation's head office is now elsewhere and the tower holds banks and corporate offices.
The tower stands in Motijheel, Dhaka's central business district, at 23.72715, 90.41556. It holds corporate offices rather than the Jiban Bima Corporation head office, which is elsewhere. Plan around Motijheel's heavy weekday traffic and treat the building as a working office address rather than a sightseeing stop.
The tower was built by Concord Group after 1975, not at independence as often assumed. Its 21 floors and 84.62 m height made it one of the tallest high-rises in Dhaka. The head office of Jiban Bima Corporation is no longer in this building, which now holds various corporate offices.
