History[]

The Uttara Center metro station was constructed under "Package CP-03". The notification of application for construction of raised bridges for stations and railways was published on June 30, 2015 and the last date for submission of applications was September 9, 2015. Italian-Thai Development Public Company Limited gets work contract for "Package CP-03". The agreement document was sent to Mantra on March 29, 2016 for NBR investigation and law and parliamentary investigation. The signing ceremony for the agreement package was held on May 3, 2017 at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka. Construction work started on August 2, 2017.^[3][4]

Transit Oriented Development Hub[]

According to the plan, commercial establishments will be opened at the every station of Line-6 under construction from Uttara to Motijheel. This method of opening a commercial enterprise is called Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Hub. Then TOD hub will be made in one or more places in each line. Each metrorail station will be multi-storey. If there is not enough land near the station, there are plans to set up commercial shops in the station plaza. According to the plan, the first TOD hub will be around Uttara Center metro station. For this, 28.62 acres of land has been purchased from the RAJUK. RAJUK has already been given around Tk 866 crore as land value from the Metrorail construction project. The NKDM Association, led by Nippon Koei, a consulting firm for Metrorail Line-6, will design the construction of the TOD hub, prepare development project proposals and prepare all the plans including tender documents.^[5]
