Purbachal New Town is the largest planned expansion of Dhaka, and buying land here is a different exercise from buying a plot inside the existing city. The layout is fixed — sectors, road widths and plot sizes were all set in the master plan — so the questions that matter are about the specific plot and its paperwork rather than about what the neighbourhood might become. The 300 Feet Expressway is what changed the arithmetic: a route that took an hour now takes a fraction of that, and land values moved accordingly.
Plot sizes here are commonly quoted in Katha, and three, five and ten Katha are the sizes you will encounter most. Road width in front of the plot is the single largest driver of value after size, because it governs what can eventually be built: a plot on a 60 foot road supports a materially different building from an otherwise identical plot on a 20 foot lane. Anyone selling land here should be able to state the road width without hesitating, and if they cannot, that is worth noticing.
The other question specific to Purbachal is filling. Much of the area was low-lying and required earth filling before it could be built on, and a plot that has not been filled is cheaper for a reason — you inherit the cost, and it is not a small one. Ask whether the plot is filled, to what level, and when. A filled plot with settled ground is a different asset from one filled last month.
On documents, the checks are the ordinary Bangladeshi land checks and they are not optional. The RAJUK allotment or transfer paperwork, a current mutation in the seller’s name, up-to-date land development tax receipts, and a search of the sub-registry office for encumbrances. For allotment plots, confirm what stage the allotment is at and whether transfer is permitted at that stage. A lawyer doing this properly will take days rather than hours, and it is the cheapest part of the whole transaction.
The honest position on timing: Purbachal is a long-term hold. Infrastructure is arriving in stages, some sectors are considerably further along than others, and the areas around the expressway have moved faster than those deeper in. If you are buying to build within a year, look closely at whether utilities actually reach the sector. If you are buying to hold, the questions above matter more than the sector number.

Buying land in Purbachal
The questions that come up before anyone signs. If yours is not here, ask us.
What does land cost in Purbachal?
Market rates commonly run from around 35 lakh BDT per Katha for smaller unfilled plots on narrower roads to over a crore per Katha for large plots on 60 foot roads. Those are area figures rather than our own pricing; the price of any specific plot we are selling is shared on request.
What does it mean if a plot in Purbachal is not filled?
Much of Purbachal was low-lying and needed earth filling before it could be built on. An unfilled plot is cheaper because the buyer inherits that cost, commonly a few lakh per Katha depending on depth and access. Always ask whether a plot is filled, to what level, and when — recently filled ground still needs time to settle.
Which documents should I check before buying land in Purbachal?
The RAJUK allotment or transfer paperwork, a current mutation in the seller’s name, up-to-date land development tax receipts, and a sub-registry search for encumbrances. For allotment plots, confirm the allotment stage and whether transfer is permitted at that stage. Have a lawyer do this properly — it takes days and it is the cheapest part of the transaction.
Why does road width matter so much for a plot?
Because it governs what can be built. A plot on a 60 foot road supports a materially taller building than an identical plot on a 20 foot lane, so the road width sets the plot’s development value and its resale value. Every plot we list states its road width for that reason.
Is Purbachal a good long-term investment?
It is a long-term hold rather than a short one. Infrastructure is arriving in stages and sectors near the 300 Feet Expressway have moved considerably faster than those further in. If you intend to build soon, check that utilities actually reach the sector before you commit.
