Mirpur's Metro Expansion Boosts Real Estate Transactions Over 20% This Year

Mirpur recorded a 22 percent rise in apartment and plot sales during the first half of 2026 after the MRT Line 6 extension reached Mirpur-12 station in March.

The timing matters because Dhaka North City Corporation data show the capital added 340,000 new residents between 2024 and 2025, pushing demand outward along the main north-west transport spine. Families priced out of central zones now seek homes within a 25-minute metro ride of office districts.

Developers have responded with projects clustered around the new station and along the upgraded Begum Rokeya Avenue corridor. The Housing and Building Research Institute opened a demonstration housing block at Mirpur-11 in May, while private firms have broken ground on three mid-rise complexes near the Pallabi bus terminal. Both sites sit inside the 1.2-kilometre influence zone of the metro stop.

Infrastructure timeline and costs

Official figures from the Dhaka Mass Transit Company list the Mirpur-12 station at 9.8 billion taka, with the final 3.4 kilometres of elevated track completed on 12 March. Average asking prices for ready apartments in the immediate catchment reached 8,500 taka per square foot in June, compared with 6,800 taka two years earlier, according to the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh monthly survey. Plots along the widened section of Mirpur Road now list at 12 to 14 million taka for 3-katha parcels.

Next steps for buyers

Prospective purchasers should verify land-use certificates at the RAJUK Mirpur zonal office before committing funds, as several plots near the station still await final approval for residential conversion. Early reservations for units in the next phase of the Pallabi project open on 1 August, with prices expected to rise once the second phase of road widening finishes in December.
