House Building (Bengali: হাউজ বিল্ডিং) is a area of Uttara, a suburb of Dhaka, Bangladesh.[1] There is a bus stop in the same name. The name comes from the Bangladesh House Building Finance Corporation located in the area.[citation needed]

This area has been used many times by the protesters to protest. In 2015, Students of private universities were staging strikes and demonstrations in various major cities of the country, including the capital, demanding repeal of VAT imposed on tuition fees. House Building was one of those areas.[2]

Under the banner of safe road movement students of various educational institutions gathered in the house building area of Uttara to protest in 2018.[3]

In 2019, several garment workers protested by blocking the house building on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway demanding various things including arrears of salary and minimum wage fixed by the government.[4]

In 2021, a group of students protested in the Uttara House building area for 9-point demand to ensure safe roads.[5]
