“Dhaka Computer City” Launches in New Eskaton

A new modern hub for Bangladesh’s technology sector — “Dhaka Computer City” — is taking shape on New Eskaton Road in the capital. The 15-story IT complex, jointly developed by Hazarie Group and City Development Ltd, aims to become the country’s premier center for technology business, services, and innovation — all under one roof.

At the inauguration ceremony held on Sunday (November 9), the entrepreneurs announced that this will be the most advanced IT business complex in Bangladesh. The building offers ready-to-move-in shops and office spaces available under a sub-kabla (land ownership) system — purchasable at the cost of rent. Entrepreneurs will also have access to bank loans and easy installment payment options, creating opportunities for young tech startups to launch with ease.

Dhaka Computer City features state-of-the-art fire safety systems, smart building management, ample parking, backup generators, high-speed elevators, 24-hour security, and high-speed internet access. The entire building is equipped with CCTV surveillance, fire alarms, and smart access control systems.

Designed as a one-stop destination for IT distributors, resellers, e-commerce businesses, mobile and hardware companies, the project will host a diverse range of tech-related enterprises. It will include dedicated areas for hardware, software, servers, robotics, CCTV, and IoT products, offering integrated exhibition and retail spaces.

Speaking at the event, Nazrul Islam Hazarie, Director of the Bangladesh Computer Samity (BCS), owner of Welkin Computers, and one of the key initiators of the project, said:

“We are creating a permanent and long-term solution for IT entrepreneurs. Back in 2006, we established BCS Computer City at Multiplan Center — now Dhaka Computer City is the next step of that success story. Here, business owners will have the opportunity to own their spaces, supported by bank loans and installment facilities.”

Monirul Islam, Secretary of the Bangladesh Computer Samity, described the project as:

“Not just a building, but a major infrastructural investment for the nation’s digital economy. Dhaka Computer City will provide a secure and sustainable workspace for tech entrepreneurs and help foster future innovation and startups.”

Md. Mujahid Al Beruni Sujon, Director of Smart Technology BD Ltd., said:

“This is not only a place but a visionary platform built by like-minded entrepreneurs and investors. It will succeed because people still prefer to shop physically in tech markets.”

Kamal Hossain Selim, Director of Dhaka Computer City and Chairman of Techno Group, added:

“Dhaka Computer City is the new-generation IT hub. Our goal is to build a permanent center in the capital where technology entrepreneurs can work together in a modern, secure, and tech-driven environment. This will further accelerate the growth of the country’s technology sector.”
