Implementation of Tk 44.31 crore Kazir Dewry Kitchen Market and Apartment Complex project is going on with the shifting of vegetables shops from the existing kitchen market. Implementation of the project started in January this year to be completed by three and a half years. Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) is implementing the project with its own fund to cater the need for commercial structure and housing facility. Under the project CDA would construct an eleven-storey multi-purpose complex building replacing an existing kitchen market popularly known as Ladies Market or Aapa Market at the city centre of Kazir Dewry. After rehabilitating all the 127 shops of the existing kitchen market on the ground floor, the complex building would provide space for developing commercial structures and apartments on the rest ten floors. A total of 56 apartments of different sizes ranging from 900 square feet to 1260 square feet would be developed in the apartment complex building overlooking Chittagong Stadium and Chittagong Circuit House. The apartments would be developed in the upper seven floors (fourth to 10th floor) with eight apartments in each floor, said the sources. The apartments would be of six types. Of them, A & B type apartments would be 1260 square feet, C & D type ones 1190 square feet while the G and H type ones would be 900 square feet each. The building would accommodate 76 book and stationery shops on its first floor and provide a total commercial space of 12370 square feet on its second and third floors. Besides, it would have parking facilities for 50 vehicles on its basement and semi-basement. Messers Hawlader Enterprise is constructing the complex building in two phases at a cost of Tk 32 crore. Earlier, Buildtec Associates raised temporary sheds involving Tk 17.44 lakh to shift the existing shops and start construction of the multi-purpose complex building. Shifting of existing 78 vegetable shops to the temporary sheds on the northeastern corner has started after the auction for removal of the vegetable market on April 20, said Project Director Executive Engineer Nurul Amin Bhuiyan. CDA has sent the brochure (information sheet) and prospectus giving details on the allotment process and approximate price (around Tk 3500 per square feet) to Housing and Public Works secretary for his approval. Immediate after the approval is available CDA would make newspaper advertisements inviting applications for allotments of the apartments, commercial space and shops for raising fund to start the construction of the complex building soon, said the project director.
