Replacing the iconic Jahajbari, Chisty’s Yacht will redefine the Dhanmondi skyline for the future generations — Shanta Holdings Limited, one of the most revered names in the Bangladeshi real estate sector, ensures that Chisty’s Yacht is a worthy successor
Landmarks define a city. They are an integral part of its identity, as crucial as orientation and planning. It is the confluence of its history, culture and emotions across generations. A landmark is a visual identity through which humans interact with the soul of the city. In its 400-year-old history, Dhaka has produced numerous architectural masterpieces that have emulsified its identity. The Jahajbari located in Dhanmondi used to be one of the most celebrated landmarks in the country.
The red brick ship house has long been the symbol of Dhanmondi, an essential part of the beauty of its lake. There was always a cloud of mystery and curiosity surrounding Jahajbari, and was much talked about in its day. In reality, it was a private residence called Chishtia Palace, built around 1994. At the start of this new decade, Shanta Holdings Limited, a leading developer of luxury homes in Bangladesh has reinvented Dhaka’s iconic Jahajbari.
The Chisty’s Yacht by Shanta Holdings Limited is Dhaka city’s emotion expressed in the language of the 21st century. The building is designed to reflect the heritage it carries while delivering the most exclusive living experience in the city. Located in the heart of Dhanmondi, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Dhaka, Chisty’s Yacht ensures that it continues to be one of the most popular landmarks of the city. It is constructed on 15.81 Kathas, and offers spacious apartment units ranging from 3,266 sq ft to 3,544 sq ft in size.
Chisty’s Yacht is designed by one of the most prominent architects in the country, Arch. Nahas Ahmed Khalil who says, “It was our extreme fortune that in a city where open space is almost non-existent, we got this opportunity to design a space for people to live in, with long views with an abundance of water and vegetation; where the concrete city is pushed to the background”. “Opportunity always comes heavily laden with responsibility” he emphasized, “Whether we have been able to do justice is for others to judge, we can only say we have tried our best. We have tried to maximize, throughout most of the internal living spaces, the views, natural light, and airflow. On a much more limited scale, we have tried to re-introduce spaces where vegetation could thrive under open natural conditions,” he further added.
Perhaps the feature that sets Chisty’s Yacht apart from any other luxury residence in the city is the fact that it is a lakeside plot with an unmatched view. Mr Nahas expressed that a home overlooking the lake is the quintessential luxury living experience. “We crave the peace and tranquility that lakeside properties can offer. Living near nature helps your body absorb more oxygen and combat free radicals, helping the body to function better. Living in a lakeside home feels like having a vacation all year round.” There is a constant feeling of harmony in the home and neighborhood around Dhanmondi Lake that the residents of Chisty’s Yacht are blessed to have. One can enjoy the view of the lake at any time of the day, while lounging in the pool on its rooftop.
The efficiently designed floor space provides maximum flexibility for interior design, its unparalleled lake views and collection of all modern lifestyle amenities make Chisty’s Yacht one of the most exclusive residential buildings in the vicinity. Moreover, the stylish interior design of common areas complemented with professional landscaping and lighting design by foreign consultants ensures elegance in every aspect. Hence the ambiance of both the interior and exterior spaces exude ultimate luxury and sophistication.
The meticulously planned complex offers an array of amenities designed to perfection. A double-height entry, reception and waiting lounge ensures the grand welcome one deserves on arriving home after a hectic day at work. Chisty’s Yacht promises a healthy lifestyle without leaving the house with a state-of-the-art gym complete with the most advanced equipments. The modishly designed and fully furnished party room provides the perfect setting to host guests in style. With a dedicated children’s play area, its residents will be able to allow their children to enjoy the carefree nature of childhood within the safety of their home.
