The 196, Gulshan Avenue is the personal residence of Tarique Rahman, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh and chairman of Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[2][3] It is located at Gulshan Avenue, Dhaka.[4][5] It has been served as the principal residence of prime minister since 2026.[6][7]

History

After the death of former President Ziaur Rahman in 1981, the then government allotted this house to his wife Khaleda Zia.[8][9] This house is built on one and a half bighas of land.[10][11]

Former Prime minister Khaleda Zia's rented personal residence Feroza Bhaban was right beside this house.[3][12]

In 2025, ownership documentation of this residence was formally handed over by the government.[13] In 2026, after Tarique becomes the prime minister of Bangladesh, he stays with his family in this building.[14][15]

In June 2026, the government declared this Gulshan residence as a Key Point Installation (KPI).[16][17]
