Borak Tower, Commercial skyscraper in Pantha Path, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Borak Tower is a modern office and retail building in central Dhaka that stretches 22 floors above ground with a glass and concrete structure. The building combines commercial shops on lower levels with corporate workspaces stacked above, creating a mixed-use complex typical of contemporary business districts.
Construction began in 2012 and the building opened in 2013 as part of Dhaka's rapid expansion into vertical commerce and office space. The project reflected the city's growing need to accommodate more businesses and workers within limited central locations.
The building represents the transformation of Dhaka's urban landscape, reflecting Bangladesh's economic development through vertical architecture.
The building sits on Pantha Path in Dhaka's central business district and is easy to reach by public transport or on foot. Visitor access to ground-floor retail areas is straightforward, though upper office floors typically require prior arrangement or business purposes.
The tower uses a practical stacking approach that places shops and services on lower floors where foot traffic naturally flows, with office workers above. This arrangement allows the building to serve both retail customers and corporate tenants from a single address in the congested business district.
