1. Introduction The economy of Bangladesh has very recently shifted from an agro-based economy to a servicebased economy; indicated by 56% of the GDP being generated from the service sector. Industrialization has led to a gradual increase in the proportion of people living in urban areasurbanization in other words. This is an outcome of both population growth and rural to urban migration. With the increase in urbanization a greater number of people are becoming city dwellers. According to a report on The Daily Star, Dhaka accommodates 5 lakh new arrivals every year. The rising urban population is followed by an increasing demand for accommodation. The right of accommodation is a fundamental right, ensured by both UN declaration and the constitution of Bangladesh. But the government of Bangladesh faces acute difficulties to ensure housing for all. Thus comes the need of private sector and development of real estates. The population density of Bangladesh is one of the highest in the world with 1237 people per square kilometer in the country and an astonishing 28410 people living per square kilometer only in Dhaka (World Bank). The situation is further aggravated every year through an irreversible reduction of per capita share of land for housing, as a result of continuing population growth. Providing shelter to all the people is one of the fundamental responsibilities of state by constitution. But being the government of a poor developing country, it is almost impossible for the government alone to ensure housing for all. As the public sector struggles to provide this, private sectors have taken initiatives to ensure people’s fundamental need for shelter. Government now shares with Real Estate Developers the task of providing safe decent places to live to the general public. But to serve a massive population of more than 160 million with only 1, 47,570 Square Kilometer is no easy job. Hence, the shortage of land is not only a social and national issue, but also a major economic issue. Government is trying to build a proper framework for the real estate sector. People in the high income brackets are the main customers of these real estate products. But day by day involvement of the middle class in the society is increasing. Government is trying to involve low income people too by suggesting the real estate companies to plan housing for them. Bangladesh has very recently turned into a middle income country with a per capita income of 1465 USD (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics – 2016). With the continuous struggle to fulfill the other basic needs, real estate products that is assumed to be very expensive, is kind of luxury to the majority of the population. Nevertheless, real estate sector is developing and growing in a good pace along with a greater contribution to GDP. Investment in this sector is increasing over time and competition is becoming higher as increasing number of firms continue to compete.

1.1 Literature Review The term “Real Estate” comes from the term “Realty” which has for centuries, meant land and all things permanently attached (Fisher, 2000). In a country real estate business can achieve remarkable as the land and housing demand of people living in the city are increasing day by day (Michael, 1999). Housing is not only provides physical shelter but also have significant impact on the lives of the dwellers in the term of skills enhance, meant, income generation, increased security, health, self-confidence & human dignity. Since 1985 this sector has created homes for over 20,000 families in the Dhaka Mega City (Seraj, 2003). The lack of available and accessible house has been identified by the government of Bangladesh as one of the most important hurdles in improving the housing conditions for middle and lower income household (Hock-Smith, 1998). Nordberg (2000) has clearly demonstrated that in most regions, housing has the potential of becoming an engine of economic growth because of its high returns on investment, a high multiplier effect, and a host of beneficial forward and backward linkages to the economy. The National Housing Policy (NHP, 1993) commits the government to take initiatives in housing as a provider, for weaker section of the people and as a facilitator in overall housing initiatives in Bangladesh. A Real Estate bubble is the manifestation of an economic bubble occurring in the Real Estate market where the value of properties such as housing is characterized by drastic increases in its value which reach an unsustainable level and then suddenly implodes. More specifically, a bubble is defined simply as any substantial upward price movement over an extended range that suddenly implodes. It is a process of continual price rising detached from real value and the excess of sales over moderate price dictated by the market (Ning and Hoon, 2012). If the bubble inflates at a very rapid rate and turns into a bubble of a very high magnitude, it calls for special attention for the policymakers and the government alike as the prices of housing is at a high deviation from its intrinsic values and calls for price correction through market mechanism and other forms of regulatory measures, both fiscal and monetary.

1.5.6 Limitations of the Study The major limitation that is likely to be faced while preparing this report is the lack of updated data, due to unavailability of access to said data, or simply because the data has not been collected by the respective organizations. The smaller organizations often do not record their data on a regular basis, causing the information available to be lagging behind by 1 or 2 fiscal years.

Background Study
2.1 Evolution of the Real Estate Real Estate business took off in Bangladesh in 1970 with only five ed firms. From the early 1980s the business started to flourish and showed robust growth. By 1988, there were 42 developers in business. At present, more than 1500 companies are active in the real estate sector with 1081 of them ed with REHAB. In the last four decades private developers have supplied more than 100000 units of apartments to the nation and will be supplying 25000 more units in the next three years (Sheltech, 2011). The main reasons for the development of real estate business in Dhaka city are: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii)
Prompt increase in the population of the city; Scarcity of unoccupied lands; Extremely high prices of land; Risks involving purchase of lands; Land owners’ motif to profit; Increase of remittance inflows which finance many purchases; Re- shaping of households to single family units; Standardized security and other services in apartments.
2.2 Real Estate: Riding wave The economic performance of Bangladesh has provided strong impetus to the real estate sector, which has been witnessing heightened activity in the recent years. Substantial end- and investor interest, large scale investment in infrastructure and rapid urbanization have contributed to the growth trajectory of real estate In Bangladesh. The real estate growth story is clearly visible in urban areas. High growth in services as well as manufacturing sector has resulted in high demand for commercial and industrial real estate. The following table shows the important factors which are forcing the real estate sector in Bangladesh. Demand Pull Factors •Robust and sustained macro-economic growth; •Upsurge in Industrial & business activities, new economic sectors; •Favorable demographic parameters; •Significant rise in consumerism; •Rapid urbanization; 5
Resultant Impact •Increasing occupier base; •Significant rise in demand for office/industrial space; •Demand for newer avenues for entertainment, leisure & Shopping; •Creation of demand for new housing;
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
• Array of financing options at affordable rates; •Scarcity of space in the important areas of the city; • Risks of purchasing land; •Hazards of construction of building; •Price of land and apartment increasing; •Rent of the apartments is comparatively higher than rent of the privately constructed apartments; • Open market economy and remittance of foreign currency is easy.
•Growth in services such as IT, tourism, hospitality etc.; •Service facilities such as garbage disposal, central satellite TV connection, apartment’s services serves time, roof top facilities, and so on.
Supply Push Factors •Policy & Regulations are going to be reformed such as flexibility of foreign direct investment; • Positive outlook of global investors; • Fiscal incentives to developers; • Simplification of urban development guidelines; •Infrastructure & development by government.
Resultant Impact • Entry of domestic & foreign players increasing competition & consumer affordability; • Easy access to mean of project financing; •Increase in developers risk appetite & allows large scale development; • Improved quality of real estate assets; • Development of new urban areas & effective utilizations of prime land parcels in large cities. Figure 2: Booming Real Estate in Bangladesh
The recent times have also witnessed an evolution of the sector - towards greater institutionalization. With the entry of global players, inflow of foreign capital, evolution of capital markets, geographical diversification and introduction of reforms, the sector has undergone some significant structural changes. Even critical concern areas like transparency in the sector are also improving significantly. The trend is expected to continue in the coming years.
2.3 Market Structure and Growth The market concentration in the real estate sector, especially apartment projects, took off in the Dhaka City in the late 1970s. From the early 1980s the business started to flourish and showed robust growth. At present, more than 400 companies are active in the real estate business in the country. About 95 per cent of this business is still dominated by the top 10 companies. The type of the market is imperfect competition, Monopolistic Competition to be specific. The reasons behind real estate sector to be monopolistic are: Very large number of differentiated buyers and sellers; The number of buyers and sellers is so high that no individual entity has the power to have an impact on the pricing; All the buyers and sellers are price makers as they have a degree of control over price; The products, apartments in this case, are not identical or homogenous and thus not perfect substitutes; 6
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
Imperfect dissemination of market knowledge. The market is highly segmented, primarily based on location, price of the land and size of the apartments. The main reasons for the development of real estate business in Dhaka city are:
Scarcity of open spaces in important parts of the city; Hazards of purchasing land; Rapid increase in the population of Dhaka; Fiscal-Financial incentives such as the decrease in the rate of bank interest; Restriction of remittance flows which financed the sector.
2.4 Real Estate Sector at a Glance The rate of urbanization is estimated to be 5-6% annually for Bangladesh (REHAB, 2004). About 25% of the people of Bangladesh is now living in urban areas and 34% will be living by 2015 (REHAB, 2004) and 50% by 2025 (Singha D., 2001). There is shortage of housing supply in all urban areas and it is increasing with current demand of 600,000 to 800,000 units all over the country. Particularly in Dhaka this demand is estimated to be 60,000 units (REHAB, 2004). Dhaka is currently growing very fast compared to other cities in Bangladesh as there exists a high demand of plot and flat units. This huge and unfulfilled demand is highly attractive for the investors. The Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) is the sole organization of the real estate agents, developers and builders. It has more than 450 ed in 2009. Moreover, around 350 non-ed real estate developers are doing business in this sector. According to REHAB they are currently supplying only around 8,000 to 10,000 units of housing apartments against the above mentioned huge demand. The approximate turnover in the real estate sector has been Tk. 20 billion, which contributes revenue of around Tk. 2 billion a year to the government. The sector now employs about 2 million people, which consists of architects, engineers, management officials, direct and indirect labors. The average contribution to GDP of this sector in the last five years was 12-14%. In 2007-2008, the growth rate of this sector fell to 5.93% from 7.01% of 2006-07 (Amin S., 2008). From 1994-95, over 10 years, Bangladesh real estate sector grew at an average of 3.64% reaching the peak at 3.83% in 1999-00. Though it had a fall in 2000-01, there was recovery in 2001-02. For the last 5 years this sector grew impressively and showed a smooth rising trend. The comparative scenario of GDP shows a steady 6% growth for Bangladesh.
2.5 Urbanization Statistics & studies show that in 2000-2015, urban growth rate is expected to be at an average of 3.7% for Bangladesh. India, one of the most attractive markets of global real estate, is expecting 4.9% growth of urbanization. The scenario is further evident by the per square kilometer population density growth. Thus in South Asia, Bangladesh holds the second position in of urbanization rate and proportion of urban population. This scenario tells that, as India is a rapidly growing real estate market in the world, Bangladesh also may attract more real estate than before.

High population growth and rural-urban migration intensify the problems of urbanization in Bangladesh. The problem is further aggravated by limited land supply in urban areas, lower land utilization and lack of proper policy and planning of land-use. This rapid influx of population to the capital city results in sky rocketing land prices and provides the stimulus for construction of tall buildings. During the period from 1981 to 2000, the greater Dhaka population grew at an average rate of 5.5% from about 3.44 million to 10.0 million. During the same period the built up area increased from 104 sq. km (39% of the city area) to 150 sq. km. (55%). By the year 2015 the expected population of the city is forecasted to be as high as 15.7 million. It is expected that Dhaka will become one of the ten largest cities of the world by the year 2020 with a population as high as 20 million.
2.6 Impacts of Private Real Estate on Patterns of Urbanization The private real estate entrepreneurs are providing residential facilities for the higher income group. Profit maximization is their only motto. Hence, lack of services and facilities are observed in the recent real estate schemes. In observed land use composition with regard to the standard are stated in the table.

Table 3: Land use parameter Land Use parameter Residential Community Facilities Road & Streets Open Space Shopping
% of planned total land area 40-65 5-10 20-30 5-10 5-10
% of actual land use area 80-85 2.5-3.5 10-12 0 0
Here it is seen that for maximizing the profit the private developers are selling more than 80% of the total project area. In Bangladesh the housing problem is most acutely faced by the lower income people. Due to poor load bearing capacity of soil, high-rise buildings are very difficult to build in places being developed by real estate companies at present. Hence, low density of residential area is resulting in the form of inefficient utilization of the land resources. The unexpected and unplanned growth of residential areas is creating extra problems for the city managers. There is no link between the existing structure plan and the real estate developments. Consequently these projects are creating sheer stress on the planned development of the city. This is also creating polarization in the demand of services facilities.
2.7 Market Insight Bangladesh’s economy has grown by at least 6% every year since 1996 despite political instability, poor infrastructure, corruption, insufficient power supplies, slow implementation of economic reforms, and the 2008-09 global financial crisis and recession. The building construction industry is considered as one of the fastest growing and largest sectors in Bangladesh. In 2008-2009, the construction sector employed 2.024 million people which is expected to rise to 2.88 million by this year (2014) and 3.32 million by 2020 (Report by WCC). After 1990, a construction boom started in the country owing to the necessity for industrial buildings, corporate offices, housing units, roads and other types of infrastructure. Bangladesh has made major progress in recent years, with sustained macro-economic stability. Construction sector is poised to emerge as a new growth engine in Bangladesh, which now thrives on the USD 20bn RMG sector and USD 14bn annual inflow of remittances from expatriate workers. According to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, the construction sector ed for a record 9.1% of GDP in fiscal year 2012-13. The following table shows the comparison between overall GDP growth and growth of Real estate, renting and business services:

A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
Figure 3: Real estate growth The growth rate of Real Estate, Renting and Business service sector has increased over the 20022010 period. However, compared to overall GDP growth, this sector expanded at a slower rate, which explains the downward trend in real estate as a percentage of overall GDP.
2.8 Land Price Trends
Figure 4: Average land price Trends in recent housing prices can be observed in urban markets (mainly Dhaka) where market data is more accessible and pricing trends here are normally advance indicators of pricing trends throughout the housing industry of Bangladesh. Land prices in Dhaka have been increasing since 1975 and currently the price is USD 3566.14 per square meter on average. Price hike of land and construction materials have added to the overall price hike. There is no control of the government over the price increase of land within Dhaka city. Increased land price has a direct impact on apartment price. Also, after 2005, price of bricks, granular sand, cement, rod etc. had a rapid, almost exponential, increase. Both these factors have raised the apartment prices.

Buyer Behavior
4.1 Key Issues with ing data Buyers from the 40-50 years age group are more willing to build their own houses in 3 or 5 or 10 years. Furthermore, it has been identified that, 70% individuals aged 30 or less were interested in buying land properties. When it comes to this factor, people from age group above 50 showed second highest rate of interest with an 80% rate – of the 5 person surveyed, 4 person showed their interest. However, dealers and agents of land based property should be careful regarding the age group of 30-40, as it has been found from this survey, that, only 60% of the respondents showed interest in buying land based properties.

Among different occupational groups, Businessmen, Private Bankers, Engineers and Doctors (both Govt. service holders and private practitioners) are more willing. Among the potential buyer of lands, Bankers are willing to buy lands because Bankers can get housing loan at lower interest rate than others. Of Professions with high income, Bankers showed a massive interest, as 100% of the individuals showed their desire for buying land based properties. But, demand of low income professionals like:

4.2 Present Market Demand
Figure 9: Most popular areas to buy
Dhaka and Chittagong are the most popular destination for property/ land buyers, while Sylhet, Khulna & Rajhshahi are 3rd, 4th and 5th popular destination. It can be noticed even further, that, areas in the eastern side of Bangladesh (Sylhet, Dhaka and Chittagong) has a growing demand for land as the opportunities are growing significantly higher within these regions.
Currently, Uttara is the most sought destination for property/land buyers of Dhaka city Gulshan and Baridhara follows as 2nd and 3rd in of preference. The market findings in this case, justify the survey findings of the respondents’ preference of land areas in Bangladesh. However, unlike what it has been seen in this survey, residential areas, like: Bashundhara and Baridhara is getting a comparatively higher demand due to a comparatively lower price in a posh area.
Figure 10: Growth areas in Dhaka property
The third market demand factor is the average land price in various divisions of Bangladesh. 16
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
Scarce supply of land is complemented with the increased demand for accommodation in Dhaka city resulted in the extreme level of price increase in lands of Dhaka city with an astronomical average figure of 14, 760,000 BDT. Chittagong follows next with an amount of 96, 67, 800 BDT average price. Due to lack of activities, the land price is significantly less in outskirt areas like: Rupganj, where average land price has been recorded lowest BDT 9, 52,512.
4.3 Land Price Hike Trend In the first decade of 21st century, the price of per katha land increased unbelievably almost all over the Dhaka city. Compared to the price increase of the earlier decade, the percentage increase in price almost doubled, and in some areas it is three times to ten times the earlier price. The following table shows the price of per katha land in the major areas of Dhaka city from 1990 to 2010. Table 5: Price of Land

Analysis and Applications of Economic Principles and Theories
5.1 Principles of Economics 5.1.1 How People Make Decisions: 5.1.1.1 People Face Tradeoffs: While investing in real estate people face tradeoffs between the risks of investing the money to earn interest and the delight of owning a land which might or might not appreciate in value. 5.1.1.2 The Cost of Something is what You Give up to Get It: Suppose a banker is trying to make a decision whether to buy land or not. When he thinks about the total costs and benefits from the possession of a piece of land, he might consider the fact that the land will give him a sense of future security and pride throughout his life, but it might cost a few million taka. One thing he may not even take into is the time it takes to complete the payment, and the interest he could collect if he instead chose to invest the same amount of money in some securities or to save in a bank . All the things he gives up in order to buy a piece of land, are called the opportunity cost of possessing a piece of land. 5.1.1.3 Rational People Always Think at Margin: In the case of buying a piece of land, it is not an option of buying a piece of land or to invest behind, let us say stocks. For instance, when one is deciding whether to purchase a piece of land, the person must compare the marginal cost of this purchase in of different locations and marginal benefits (tax shield, joy and security of returns) associated with buying securities. By doing this, one can evaluate whether the purchase is worth the attendant costs. 5.1.1.4 People Respond to Incentives: Public policymakers should never forget about incentives, for many policies change the costs or benefits that people face and, therefore, alter behavior. A lower tax on real estate, for instance, encourages people to invest in the sector. On the contrary, if govt. hikes the tax rate on real estate, people will no longer be interested to invest heavily in the sector. Therefore, infrastructural development will be hindered. 5.1.2 How People Interact 5.1.2.1 Trade Can Make Everyone Better-off: Trade allows people to focus on serving a specialized purpose in the economy, such as food production, textile production, real estate development, computer engineering, etc. By trading with other people, we get access to a much wider variety of goods than you would be able to produce ourselves, and at a better opportunity cost (price). The reason why someone would prefer buying a piece of land is simply that the person is making a future investment. He will gain value through the appreciation of price. In future, he can a developer to build a house for his family. The trade between a developer and a buyer thus benefits both. The developer receives a reasonable profit for managing the entire activity of construction of the building, and the buyer gets a safe house to live in with family. 19

5.1.2.2 Free Markets Are A Good Way to Organize Economic Activity, As Long As Some Rules Are Applied: Bangladesh works as a free market economy giving immense opportunity for the real estate companies to grow.
5.2 Application of Invisible Hand Adam Smith used the metaphor of the invisible hand to refer to the guidance and benefit society receives when individuals act in their own self-interest when trying to make money. According to Smith, when consumers are left to freely choose what they want to buy, and businesses are left to freely decide what they want to sell, the self-interest of both will lead to decisions that result in good prices and the right products in the economy and marketplace. As a result, Smith argued that no government intervention is needed. We simply have the invisible hand of economic selfinterest to guide us. Let's explore the theory more to help it all make sense.
As demand for housing and land continues unabated, Navana Real Estate Ltd. continues its business as a leading developer of the industry in Bangladesh. Most of the properties are in Dhaka and most of the buyers are the people with monthly income over 75000 taka. The real estate industry is the mainstay of the country's economy, which contributed 14% to GDP on the fiscal year 2009-10, & within a span of three decades, the turnover from this industry has reached to more than 28000m BDT. The sector The Govt. revenue stands on average 2000m BDT per year from this sector. The market share of NREL is approximately 10%. There are more than 400 Companies in Real Estate sector in Bangladesh who compete with each other, buyers and sellers come together in a market and prices are determined automatically as if an invisible hand were guiding the market. 20

5.3 Analysis of Demand Today, in the real estate industry in Dhaka, both price and demand for land have gone up exponentially. In today’s complex economic scenario, it is not possible to assume that except the price and quantity demanded other things will remain unchanged in the long run. Though the price of land in different locations of the city has increased on an average by 278.64% over a decade (2000-2010), the demand for land will keep soaring. This is primarily due to the income and inflationary effects which we cannot assume to be constant in the long run. Hence, a representation of the demand analysis for real estate industry in the city is not possible.

5.4 Circular Flow Diagram of Real Estate Industry The circular flow of income is a neoclassical economic model depicting how money flows through the economy. In the simplest version, the economy is modeled as consisting only of households and firms. Money flows to workers in the form of wages, and money flows back to firms in exchange for products. Like every other economic entity Real Estate companies also go through circular flow diagram. It has two markets.
21
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
Figure 12: Circular Flow Diagram of Real Estate Industry
Factor Market: For Real Estate sector factors market is the market where factories spend on rents and buys buildings and other equipment. For buying these commodities factories pay wage and salary to workers, rent and price for buildings and other equipment and interest for the deposits collected. The factor market, sometimes called the resource market, represents the purchase of resources in an economy. In the factor market, households are the sellers of resources, and factories are the buyers of resources. Product Market: The product market represents the purchases of finished goods and services in an economy. In our case the product market consists of lands and apartments. Households are the main buyers of goods and services in the product market, and businesses are the sellers of goods and services, as shown in the top half of the figure. From the circular flow model, it appears that the product market is a single physical location where products are bought and sold. But this is clearly not the case. Instead, the product market represents the millions of buy-sell transactions that are made 22
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
every day in supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores, department stores, bakeries, laundries, dentist and doctor offices, delis, and coffee shops. Also, in addition to households, other businesses purchase land and apartments too for commercial use.
5.5 Government Policy Government role in of letting conducive policy environment for flourishing the industry in less developed country has very little success story. In this prospect Bangladesh government policy setting has been point on especially in case of real estate sector. Most extraordinarily Bangladesh government formulate policy in such way it let more or less the sector alone, not regulating it while almost everything else is heavily regulated. If the government of Bangladesh imposed policies like rent control, it could turn to be disastrous for the sector. 5.5.1
Possible effects of Rent Control
Rent control is a special form of price control where the government places a ceiling on the rents that the landlords can charge for houses and apartments. Rent control can either be in the form of setting the maximum amount of rent a landlord can charge, or imposing a limit on the rate of increase of rent every year. The set ceiling of the price is lower than that at market equilibrium. There are several ways in which rent control affects housing in Dhaka city – 5.5.1.1
Creating a apartments
shortage
of
houses
and
The effect of rent control is not highly visible in the short run. In the short run, the supply for apartments for rent can be considered to be completely inelastic. This is due to the fact that housing developments tend to be long term projects, and changes in price and rent for apartments cannot be reacted to quickly by the developers. On the demand side, people tend to have a reluctance in changing their housing arrangements at short notice. These supply and demand forces interact to result in a small shortage in the housing market in the short run as a result of rent control.
23
Figure 13: Effect of Rent Control in the short run
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
However the effects become much more pronounced the longer rent control stays in place. As the ceiling imposed by rent control curtails the profit house owners and developers can generate, their incentive to build apartments and rent them out decreases. This causes a decline in supply. On the other hand, reduced rent due to rent control encourages more and more people to seek apartments for rent. This increase in demand, coupled with the reduction of supply, results in a large shortage in the housing market. The changes in supply and demand are both more elastic when Figure 14: Effect of Rent Control in the long run a long term scenario is considered. 5.5.1.2 Flow of capital away from the housing sector
Due to the reduction in potential profit for developers due to the existence of rent control, capital that would otherwise be invested in the housing sector is diverted away to other sectors. The result is a deterioration of the state of the housing sector, and the growth of the city would suffer accordingly. 5.5.1.3 Less maintenance of houses and apartments
As the demand for housing far exceeds supply of apartments available for rent, there is often a long list of people waiting for an apartment. Landlords often impose restrictions when renting apartments, such as – renting only to tenants without children. Due to the excess of demand, landlords often lose their incentive to maintain the quality of the apartments and do not trouble to remodel apartments or make other improvements in them. 5.5.1.4 Large discrepancies in rent between new and old apartments
The effects of rent control become worse the longer the rent control continues. New housing is not built because there is no incentive to build it. With the increase in building costs, the old level of rents will not yield a profit. If, as often happens, the government finally recognizes this and exempts new housing from rent control, there is still not an incentive to as much new building as if older buildings were also free of rent control. Depending on the extent of money depreciation since old rents were legally frozen, rents for new housing might be ten or twenty times as high as rent in equivalent space in the old. 5.5.2
Impact of Rent Control on Dhaka City:
Currently there is no rent control in Dhaka City. However, recently the High Court has directed the government to form a high-power commission tasked with recommending maximum and 24
A STUDY ON NAVANA REAL ESTATE LIMITED
minimum standard house rents for different areas in the capital city. This proposed rent control could have dire consequences for the city. 5.5.2.1 Shortage of basic commodities
Being the capital city, there are already multitudes of people flocking to the city every year. With rent control, this number will become overwhelming for the city to handle. There is already a shortage of water, electricity and gas in the city, with these commodities being rationed during different parts of the year in different parts of the city, and with more people, it will only get worse. 5.5.2.2 The impact on the real estate sector
A city must grow in order to survive. The growth of real estate in Dhaka city has been rapid in the past, but imposing rent control would severely hurt this sector. Investors would move their capital away from the real estate sector to more profitable ventures. Without a thriving real estate sector, the growth of the city will stagnate, and inevitable problems will arise as more and more people come to the city. 5.5.2.3 Discrimination against prospective tenants
There is already a trend in Dhaka city of landlords declining to rent apartments to bachelors. With rent control imposed and the subsequent shortage of apartments for rent, this form of discrimination will increase. As a result, a large number of people, including those who come to Dhaka seeking jobs, will have a much tougher time living in the city than they do now. 5.5.2.4 Deterioration of overall living standards
The shortage of housing would likely increase the number of slums in the city. The number of people living in poverty would increase. The traffic situation in Dhaka is already horrendous. With more people coming into the city as a result of rent control, this would only get worse. With the increase in the population, the water logging and drainage system of Dhaka city would deteriorate. With these potential problems facing Dhaka city due to Rent Control, it can be considered as a severe detrimental factor towards the growth and sustainability of Dhaka City.

Recommendation
The objective of this research was to gather a comprehensive idea about land aspect of one of the Real Estate Companies, Navana Real Estate Limited. Based on the observations of the participants, data acquired from the major secondary sources, utilizing the theoretical knowledge acquired from this course, the following recommendations can be made: It can be predicted that, within the next 10 years, demand for land will be significantly high due to the population boom and increase in people’s income. To tackle this future astronomical needs, government must devise a plan to increase opportunities and facilities in the northern region of the country, as it has been seen, the demand for land is gradually increasing on that part of the region.
Dhaka remains dominant in almost every aspect of land market that has been assessed in this report. Hence, the government and other major authorities of Bangladesh, such as Rajuk, must seriously consider a major expansion plan of Dhaka to cope up with the astronomical accommodation and land needs in Dhaka. This is a feasible solution, as it can be seen that outskirt regions like Rupganj is offering land at BDT 9,52,512 per katha on average.
The principal demand of people is to access land around areas, where privileges like hospital, school, and colleges are accessible. Considering this factor, the proper authorities should focus on increasing privileges in regions outside major cities to places like: Rajshahi, Khulna, etc. Should the privileges reach the standard of living that exists within the major cities; people will begin pursuing untapped lands.

7. Conclusion The standard of living in Bangladesh is gradually increasing day by day. As the income and the demand for better and more sustainable resources increase, Bangladesh faces acute scarcity natural resources to fulfill the need of each and every person. The acute scarcity of land is no exception to this problem. In order to meet the demand of the population in the most effective manner, the growth of population needs to be controlled. However it is not a solution the istration should look for, should they want an effective resolution to solve the pressing need for land. Through the analysis of this research, one can simply find that crisis of land gets even intensified, when it comes to the major cities, where the major establishments resides in. Unfortunately, the number of these kind of cities are significantly low within this country. Should the government undertake the initiative of intense planning to restructure regions in the outskirts of the capital city, should the government take initiatives, to deliver major benefits in the other regions, the land section of real estate industry of Bangladesh can fulfill the need of demand and supply of land in a better fashion than at the present context, as people will find more substitutes of lands. People will understandably pursue these options since the demand is discernibly prevalent in this country.
