The landowner's dilemma in Dhaka: sell, build alone, or joint venture? An honest comparison.
𝟏. 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐰: cash today, but you lose the land AND the building's future value
𝟐. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞: full ownership, but full financing, full risk, and a management job most people are not trained for
𝟑. 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: your land converts into a share of a building, construction funded and managed by the builder, your share fixed in writing
Option 3 fails when agreements are vague. That is why the Akij Builders Limited JV runs on a registered agreement with your share, timeline, and protections documented before work starts.
This week we publish the full process. Questions welcome.
