The Legacy Tower is an under-construction supertall skyscraper in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The skyscraper is a part of Bangabandhu tri-tower: alongside 71-floors Liberation Tower and 52-floors Language Tower and the centerpiece of US$12 billion central business district development project in Purbachal.[4] The 111-floors tower will rise 468 m (1,535 ft) tall.

The construction of the tri-towers officially commenced on 10 September 2020. The design, created by Heerim Architects and Planners of South Korea incorporates many unique structural and aesthetic features such as solar glass and automatic waste-management systems. As a result, a large portion of the towers' energy demand will be met with renewable energy. The structural consultancy of the project is being provided by Archetype Group of France.[5] The towers are being created by PowerPac Holdings Limited, a joint consortium of Kajima Corporation and Sikder Group.[6][7][8][9]
