Concord Group

With its economy expected to grow by 7% annually to 2033, Bangladesh is "a thriving investment hub" with “burgeoning growth", "a mobile economy on the verge of moving up the economic ladder," according to a comprehensive 2019 report by PWC. The global professional services company noted surging investment in infrastructure, a stable political situation, and pro-business policies as upsides for investors.

The construction and real estate sector globally is strongly influence by economic growth and confidence, so it is little surprise that it is booming in Bangladesh. The market was worth $76bn in 2020, and is forecast to grow by 7% annually in 2022-25, according to intelligence provider GlobalData. The government's Eighth Five Year Plan (2020-25) is an important catalyst; it prioritising increasing both private and public sector investment with aims including reducing employment and achieving sustainable urbanisation.

Founded in 1973 in the aftermath of the Liberation War, Concord has long been a pioneer in the real estate and construction sector, bringing numerous innovations to the Bangladeshi market, and taking on some of the country's most prestigious and complex projects. A trusted name, highly-regarded for its ethical approach and high-quality products, Concord has become an ideal partner for newcomers to the market.

Jesse Williams

FOR HOTEL COSTIERA, JESSE WILLIAMS WAS DRAWN TO MAKING “SOME- thing that’s global.” The new Prime Video series stars Williams as Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who returns home to Italy to work at a hotel, only to find himself tasked with finding the missing daughter of the hotel’s owner. While he has “no complaints” filming in Positano paradise, “I tried to stay rela- tively disciplined, but I ate a lot of pasta and bread.” Of the character, he related to his duality. “I don’t really say I’m half anything,” he notes. “That has to have found itself stewing in something Daniel De Luca is dealing with.” The series represents a new phase for Williams, taking creative control as a producer. “It certainly feels good...to bet on you in the same way you're trying to bet on your- self.” After leaving his role on Grey’s Anatomy, his first move was a deliberate challenge, Broadway, and now this, raising the stakes by creating an original show. “Like, it’s really trying to forge something new in a space.” But ultimately, it’s all about the process. “I love the collaboration that exists in our business.”
