MGI Tower (short for Meghna Group of Industries), is an under-construction 152 m (499 ft), 39-storey skyscraper in Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka.[1] The skyscraper is a project of the Bangladeshi industrial conglomerate Meghna Group of Industries (MGI). Located beside the Lake of Hatirjheel, it is expected to house the Grand Hyatt Dhaka and become one of the tallest buildings in Dhaka and Bangladesh once completed. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, based in Chicago, United States, has designed the skyscraper, while China State Construction Engineering Corporation has been contracted to construct the project.[2][3]
