History

Concord Group was founded in 1973. In 2002, Concord Group built a multimillion-dollar amusement park in Savar called Fantasy Kingdom. In 2004, the Government of Bangladesh leased the historic Foy's Lake to Concord Group for 50 years to develop it into a resort and amusement park named Foy's Lake Concord. In 2007, Concord Group began construction work on a shopping Complex called Police Plaza, which was built in partnership with the Bangladesh Police Welfare Trust of the Bangladesh Police.

Controversy
