25 years ago, Bay started out with a single promise to our customers quality. Unwavering from that pledge, our buildings are a testament to the values of hard work, dedication, and entrepreneurial spirit all qualities central to our legacy. Each Bay project is a landmark, charting the course of our momentous 25-year journey. Behind the scenes are numerous notable milestones, all of which are outcomes of leadership and innovativeness. Such achievement is only possible when a team is fully dedicated to the goal of attaining all-round excellence. Innovation has propelled Bay to progress and remain a leader. Focusing only on the high-end of the market challenged us to introduce novel ideas with each successive project so much so that, over five dozen of such amenities and features found in todays high-end Dhaka apartments are undisputedly Bays contribution, and many are now part of the National Building Code. As Dhakas real estate market evolved, so did the customers demands. The moment Bay began to offer a one-stop solution, with complete interior fit-out customizable to the familys specific needs, it was a hit and the market followed suit. With the longstanding commitment to deliver durability and value, Bay also pioneered the advent of professional building maintenance and management.
