RAJUK Uttara Apartment Project (abbreviated as RUAP) is a residential area located in Sector 18 of Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh.[1]

Development

It is the first and largest apartment project in the country. Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha launched this project in 2011 to ensure housing in the metropolis for low and middle-income people, targeting an estimated population of 80,000, with a completion period of five years. The construction project included 240 sixteen-storey buildings on 214 acres land, with a total of 18,732 apartments. The buildings were divided into three blocks. In 2019, the project period was extended to 2022, with a final budget of ৳10,586 crore. As of 2021, about 2,000 families were living there.[2] In November 2020, it was revealed that 281 apartments of the project had been allocated through lobbying and bribes instead of a lottery system.[3]

After the launch of MRT Line 6 in 2022, the demand for apartments in the project area increased. It was reported that 450 apartments of the project were still unsold.[4] In 2024, the construction progress of Block A of the project reportedly reached 95%, and the authorities were expected to complete the construction by December of the same year.[5] Later, the project duration was extended to June 2025.[6]

Construction

Although construction of 79 buildings in Block A was completed under the project, the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase cancelled the plan to build buildings of the B and C block with financial and technical assistance from the Malaysian government. As a result, the Project Implementation Committee and Project Steering Committee decided to create separate projects for Blocks B and C. Consequently, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha proposed a new project with a budget of ৳16,827 crore to construct 7,544 apartments in two blocks with a target completion year of 2030.

However, since no feasibility study had been conducted as required for a project worth more than ৳50 crore, objections were raised about the project at a meeting of the Project Evaluation Committee in June 2025.[7] In November 2025, its central library was inaugurated.[8]
