The roads of Gulshan are more than just pathways; they’re a testament to Dhaka’s evolution into a hub of modern sophistication. Among the area’s many luxurious residential properties, three exceptional recently completed projects—Atelier, Sanctum, and Magnolia—have set a new standard for luxury living.
Developed by Shanta Holdings, these properties are masterpieces of design, functionality, and sustainability. My visit to these iconic buildings left me impressed with their attention to detail, elegance, and unique offerings.
Atelier: Where privacy meets panoramic views
At the junction of roads 56 and 61, Atelier stands as a hidden sanctuary of exclusivity. This 15-katha property offers single-unit residences spanning an impressive 5,800 sq ft per unit, ensuring unparalleled privacy and tranquility.
From the moment you step in, the spacious layout and floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the Gulshan Society Mosque and the serene surroundings. The common areas are equally inviting, featuring beautifully landscaped green lawns, a well-appointed lobby, and a rooftop garden that provides a perfect escape from the city’s chaos.
Additional amenities include a well-equipped gym and designated play areas for children. The project also features an inviting lounge with an elegant show kitchen to entertain, designed to elevate the living experience. The reception is hotel-grade, offering a luxurious first impression for residents and visitors alike. This artsy, fully furnished space provides residents with a vibrant area for entertainment, creating the perfect setting to network, host gatherings, and share cherished moments with neighbors. It’s an ideal hub for building connections and celebrating life together.
“Our customers are well-traveled and have experienced the finest the world has to offer. In Bangladesh, Shanta brings them the same world-class standards,” said Shihab Ahmed, Head of Sales at Shanta Holdings.
Sanctum: Serenity in the heart of Gulshan
Nestled in the heart of Gulshan 2’s diplomatic enclave, Sanctum offers a lifestyle that feels like a rare retreat from the bustling city. As the morning sun rises, the east-facing residences come alive with natural light, bathing each home in warmth, while lush green lawns and rooftop gardens create a refreshing oasis of greenery.
Imagine a long, tiring day at work, and all you want is a moment of calm. At Sanctum, you’ll find just that a quiet corner surrounded by nature, perfect for unwinding with your favorite book. For those who love to entertain, the luxurious swimming pool becomes an inviting space for private gatherings, complemented by an elegant cabana beside the pool. With two tiers of landscaped seating decks, complete with a BBQ zone, it’s an entertainer’s dream come true. And from here, you can admire the beautifully designed trellis, adding a touch of sophistication to the surroundings.
For the fitness enthusiast, the rooftop gym is a place where you can workout while soaking in panoramic views of the city. After your workout, the steam room awaits, offering the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate. Inside the building, well-lit corridors and wide staircases further enhance the spacious feel, making every moment in Sanctum a comfort.
