Jamuna Future Park is the 13th largest shopping mall in the world in terms of square foot per floor, not the third largest shopping mall in the world as claimed by its management. It is located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is the largest mall in South Asia. The project construction started in 2001 but due to political and legal issues, the project was put on hold until 2006. After that, when it was legalized, construction continued and by 2008, most of the exterior was completed. It is scheduled to open to public by late-2009.
This mall could be considered an international-standard mall with global fashion and retail marques as well as local brands. It will have the biggest hypermarket in Bangladesh as well.
