For decades as a nation, we Bangladeshis have always fancied plush, independent houses. We always viewed them as a symbol of aristocracy and high-rank lineage with a deep admiration for the lifestyle that came along. However, big independent houses are becoming a rare sight in this city, and smaller apartments have grasped the industry for their convenience factor, over the years. Studio apartments are a recent addition to the Bangladeshi market, which is currently seeing a significant uprise in demand considering the country's real estate market. It often focuses on addressing the top tier belonging to the slanted vertical of the consumer psyche pyramid.

What exactly is a studio apartment?

Studio apartments comprise of a single large room, including a bedroom, living room, dining lounge, compact kitchenette, and attached restrooms.  The square feet of a studio apartment can range from 250 sqft to somewhere 800+ sqft. These studio apartments are ideal living spaces for single city dwellers, senior citizens, small families, frequent travellers and expats, and even first-time investors.

What do the numbers say?

Studies suggest that the rate of urbanisation in recent years in Bangladesh has been at 1.9 %, which is the highest in South Asia. It is safe to say that the annual housing demand lingers somewhere around 120,000 units. In contrast, the yearly supply caters approximately up to 25,000 units. With rising urbanisation, inflation makes affording homes more challenging to the lower and middle-income groups and below. As big real estate names continue to be more inclined towards luxury, studio apartments are a giant leap, waiting to emerge as the game-changer.

Studio apartments are the fastest moving products in the west in terms of real estate, even in neighbouring countries like India, Singapore, China and Hong Kong.
