Motijheel (Bengali: মতিঝিল) is a central business district and a thana of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is Dhaka's primary Central Business District[4] and also the nation's largest commercial and financial hub.[5] Motijheel, Dhaka's zero point, has the largest number of offices in Dhaka.[6] Motijheel CBD also has one of the highest concentrations of high-rise buildings in Bangladesh. It has thus earned the title of the downtown and city centre of Dhaka and as the bankpara-officepara (neighbourhood of banks and offices) in Bengali.
It is home to the Bangabhaban presidential palace, the venerable Notre Dame College; and the Bangladesh Bank, which is the central bank of the country.
Companies based in Motijheel include Dutch Bangla Bank, Eastern Bank PLC, Mercantile Bank, IFIC Bank, Beacon Pharmaceuticals, Orion Group, Janata Bank, Sonali Bank, Rupali Bank, Agrani Bank, Pubali Bank, Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation, Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation and Jiban Bima Corporation among others.[7][8][9] The Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry is also based in Motijheel. With a large concentration of businesses, as well as government offices, departments and ministries, Motijheel is a major central business district and an office hub.
The area is served by the Dhaka Metro Rail. Shapla Square and Balaka Square are well known roundabouts in Motijheel.
