Jamuna Future Park is an under construction shopping mall in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which is scheduled to open later this year.[2] The construction started in 2002, by Jamuna Builders Ltd., a subsidiary of the Jamuna Group. However, due to its slow development of construction, the exterior was completed in 2008. At the end of its construction, this shopping mall will be the 12th largest shopping mall in the world and largest in South Asia with a gross leasable area of 4.1 million sq ft and total area of 5.45 million sq ft.[3][1][4]
Location
The complex is constructed on 33 acres (13 ha) of land in Kuril, Baridhara, situated on the Pragati Sharani, neighboring posh residential areas of Dhaka city like Gulshan, Banani, and Bashundhara.[2] It is surrounded by commercial businesses including several multinational companies. The head office of Grameenphone is right across the street from the complex. Shahjalal International Airport is just a few minutes drive, and major embassies and foreign offices are within walking distance.[3][2]
It can be accessed by Kuril Interchange, which opened on August 2013, from both directions of the Airport Road.[3]
Structure
The centrally air-conditioned shopping complex has nine floors, equipped with its own 45 MW powerplant and highspeed WiFi internet.[3] The lower basement floor is reserved for car parking. The middle basement is reserved for car parking and a portion for a supermarket and a hypermarket.[3] Level 1 is the base floor for all atria, facilities for live entertainment, musical and fashion shows, etc.[3] From the ground floor to the fifth floor, there are several categories of local and international brand shops, non-branded shops, bank space, online booths and food courts.[3] The fifth floor has space for a children's theme park, a gymnasium and a health club, two separate swimming pools for men and women, spacious exhibition halls, banquet halls, international standard cineplex with seven individual halls, 22-lane bowling alley with karaoke facilities, and a musical and entertainment floor.[1][3][2]
