if u can't see the pic up there =)

Btw, I have slight doubts that the construction pic is actually the Ritz, because if you look at the design, the Ritz base is one whole massive circular structure..while the construction photo doesn't seem to convey that.. :? Macgyver, can you confirm?

Hopefully, on october mac ! yea sure we surely will take pics for skyscrapercity too ! :D


cheers

hey can anyone take a picture again hows the construction doing along with jakarta tower?

cheers

yes..updates please :yes:

Btw these pics look rather different from the project rendering of the 1st post, I think they've probably changed the design somewhat..hmmmmm

wow it's goin pretty well eh..
it's got that cladding already.. dunno what material though.. ehhee
yeah.. it seems that the design has changed.. hopefully they still keep the high quality.. and hopefully the height of the building is still around 330m

Nice Pictrues Alvin ....
Would someone repost the computer rendering please ....
so that we can compare ....

I think the picture show only one tower ,
My guess the next tower will raise next to it ...

Yeah I certainly hope they keep the height at 300m+

The rendering is in the first post of this thread, just right click and paste the URL to your browser!

Last time i know, the height is still the same but maybe they only build one tower...hopefully twin tower still exists....or maybe they will make 100 m higher and scrap the other tower? anyway i will ask my friend who works there :D

cheers

great for Jakarta. I see the construction photos but I can't see the rendering in the first post
:(
I guess this building will be the world's tallest hotel on completion, surpassing that tower in Dubai? How many floors does this building have?

Hi Pas, right click the 'image', go to properties and copy the URL address. Then paste it in the input bar of the browser, and that should do the trick.

The original plan was 60 storeys, 327 m.

Nice pics Alvin .. the design is different ..
Hopefully the height will remain 327m !!

I don't think this will become the tallest hotel in the world .. coz I think Baiyoke Tower is taller than 327m

Thanks for the info Alvin :)

See the right-most building underconstruction? Yeah that's The Ritz

http://img28.exs.cx/img28/9211/ritz.jpg

wow.. I just realized that the construction is massive...
man.. it's gonna be a damn huge building... wahhaha
nice pic tata

hmm.. after I looked at it again.. the huge construction looks a bit like bellagio mansions..
cause the design sorta look like that.. I know that the blue uc building is the ritz tower..
hmm.. not sure now.. anyone can confirm?

Dont worry dude, i just arrived in jakarta i will visit my friend who actually works for tan kian and ask him

anyone in jakarta please give me your # number. :D

cheers

There are 3 building there ...

Ritz Carlton , Belagio Residence and .... at the back is Hotel Manhattan. [ Correction It is Manara Kadin instead of Manhattan..... after observing the SPOT ... :-) he he he ]

The Bellagio Mansion is still wrking on 4 or 5 level .... and right at the back of Ritz ( you cannot see from the pic )

The Huge one is Belagio Residence ....

The Ritz is the one with ... silver-like ... glass ....

thanks for confirming mac...
ehehhe ....
Bellagio residence is really huge eh.. cool..
when are they gonna be completed? next year?

nice pics Tata
check the Bellagio Residence Thread. maybe you can post the pic there too

The rendering in the 1st pic is one of the earlier designs of the Ritz, the design has now been changed:
The rendering for the new design can be seen in this link (go to last page):
http://www.beca.com/content/2880/Beca%20Buildings%20Update7.pdf

Basically the project will consist of 3 towers. The main tower will consist of a 48-storey tower plus 5 basement parking, so 53 stories overall. I was told that the height of the tower from street level to the roof top is 212m.
bad news guys! :sleepy:

hah??? shittt... 212m.. dammmit..
I thought we're gonna get a supertall
aarrgghh...

hey that rendering looks familiar.. I thought that's the old design?? cause I've seen it before ages ago.. they look like the mulia tower..

yeah we thought that was the old design. but as it turns out, it seems that design is the new one. (it resembles the construction zone more) I'm still waiting for confirmation though, cheers.

man.. after I looked at the rendering at that beca website..
I'm still not sure what the design is gonna be like.. cause the structure of the construction and the render are a bit different...
not sure..
alvin.. where did u get this info? is it 100% confirmed?

I can confirm the 330 rooms for the hotel. If the design is also for 330 rooms then this may be it.

hah??? shittt... 212m.. dammmit..
I thought we're gonna get a supertall
aarrgghh...

so Wisma BNI 46 keeps the title as Indonesia's highest building? Guess we need to wait for another 10 years or so to see new challanger :(

alvin.. where did u get this info? is it 100% confirmed?
Yes it is confirmed, i got the info from the project manager of the Ritz. He says it is 48 storeys...it must be that Beca design!

Don't Forget the Peak :-)
The Peak won't be taller than BNI46...
But we'll have the Signature Tower, and (fingers crossed) BDNI Centre.

Yes it is confirmed, i got the info from the project manager of the Ritz. He says it is 48 storeys...it must be that Beca design!

aiyooo... damnn... hopefully the signature tower gets built and the bdni center as well.. we need a new landmark in Jakarta man...

http://www.ritzcarlton.com/resources/jakarta_crop.jpg
The Ritz-Carlton Company, L.L.C. has announced a second property in Indonesia which will premiere in the capital city of Jakarta mid-year 2005. The new project complements the company's expanding portfolio in Asia and its first property in Indonesia, the 338-room Ritz-Carlton, Bali Resort & Spa, which opened in 1996.

The 333-room Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta will be part of a mixed-use development which will include 60 luxury condominiums, a retail mall and the hotel. It will be located in the city's Mega Kuningan district. This prime location is situated south of the city center in a newly developed commercial area that has become the preferred location for diplomatic embassies and stately residences. The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta will be surrounded by commercial office buildings, luxury residential towers and homes, plus mixed-use developments featuring upscale retailers.

The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta is owned by Dua Mutiara Group, one of Indonesia's leading commercial and residential real estate companies. Dua Mutiara Group is also the owner of the JW Marriott Jakarta Hotel.

The architectural firm of Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, Inc. was selected to design the building. The Singapore office of Hirsch/Bedner Associates will be overseeing the interiors. The 333-room hotel will feature three restaurants, a lounge and a bar, fitness center and spa, 16,000 square foot (1,600 square meter) ballroom, 20 meeting rooms, board room and a business center. The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta will also include a Ritz-Carlton Club Level and Club Lounge.

"Entering the capital of the Indonesia marks a significant step in The Ritz-Carlton's strategy to develop the brand in key locations around the world," said Simon Cooper, president and chief operating officer of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. "Positioned as one of Asia's most powerful economies, we look forward to offering clients the opportunity to enjoy Ritz-Carlton service and luxury in Jakarta," added Cooper.

Despite its height that will fall short of everyone's expectation. It is still the tallest hotel in Indonesia and the design is beautiful and the scale is just awesome. At 212 m, i have a feeling it is taller than BNI 46. I understand BNI 46 is only reaching 200. Can anyone confirm? :)

what do we all think of the design, guys? personally i liked the old one better, it has more character. but then again, renderings may be misleading...it may turn out to be nicer than it looks (well, disregarding the height for now)

BNI46 is 250 m!
the thing is, that guy also told me that the floor-to-floor height is 4.8m. so if you multiply 4.8 by 48 storeys you get about 230m! so *maybe* it is taller than 212m after all..

I think it is wonderful.. The most beautiful hotel tower design in Indonesia that I have ever seen. With a stunning comtemporary glass tower that reflects the surrounding supported by the classical mediterenean base that make good use of the existing round-a-bout area in Mega Kuningan - I think it is just so so so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful. I like it. :)

Yeah its very 'glassy'. it'll definitely complement the JW Marriott and surrounding buildings nicely....Mega Kuningan will be the new face of CBD jakarta a year from now :)

btw one more thing, I hope they make that roundabout shopping area as a nice pedestrian-friendly area...with wide sidewalks and lush greeneries so people can shop outside and enjoy the air.
Can't wait till its completed! :D

That's the spirit, Alvin. :)

The AIrlangga Apartments are actually ON TOP of the Ritz Hotel.
The structure is basically Z shaped, with the first 26 storeys forming the hotel, and the two ends of the Z continuing on another 20 storeys to form the Airlangga apartments (the middle part does not continue).

http://www.ritzcarlton.com/resources/jakarta_crop.jpg
This description seems to resemble the two towers design on the right of the picture, but I don't know what that even taller single building is on the left.

That description makes a lot of sense, look at this construction pic and the resemblance to the right towers:
http://img58.exs.cx/img58/9977/DSC01838.jpg

http://img61.exs.cx/img61/1140/RitzJakartacompressed.jpg

Guys, I have it on good authority that the tall tower on the left is a proposed 70-storey (!!!) office, apartment, hotel which is projected to commence construction next year.

Alvin here i got, the taller one on the left is the 327m one. can you also confirm this to the project developer? because i asked my friend who work in project marketing.

cheers

Don't think he knows how tall it is exactly, but judging by picture, 327m sounds right.
Do you have any additional info, e.g. developer etc?

Guys, I have it on good authority that the tall tower on the left is a proposed 70-storey (!!!) office, apartment, hotel which is projected to commence construction next year.

what do u mean? I dont understand...
isnt the whole 4 towers or watever are the whole complex of the ritz carlton and airlangga apartments?

Nah, apparently the 70 storey building will be developed by a different developer.

The tower(s) on the right is the Ritz/Airlangga - they are all in ONE building connected up to the 26th floor, and then the two ends extend 48 floors.

oooo... sodeskaaaa...
I understand now.. ehehe
alrite..so the construction of the 70 storey tower is next year eh?? cool

Anyone has any info on who's developing this 70-storey tower?

Alvin, the same developer that build the ritz, <---from the p marketing.

327m consist of apartement, office tower, sky restaurant to counter the peak, two foreign embassy.

90% very sure.
edited: the developer itself hasnt been decided but looks likely, the previous developer will get the project.

cheers

great, thanks for the info David. Is the design final??
Also, do you have any info on Sudirman Square apartments?

So it will still belong to Dua Permata Group and Tan Kian....Wow....Great Job. They just go ahead and beautify our beloved Jakarta......I truly like the design of this whole thing....Can't wait for the Ritz, the aparment, and the tallest tower to open..

@Alvin : I will pretend interested to buy unit in sudirman square and ask them, it works b4 :lol:

medan01: yeah hes the man, one of property tycoon whos very low profile but full of surprise!

cheers

David: cool, looking forward to any info mate.

I like this new design ... better than the old one !!

I like this new design ... better than the old one !!
really? don't you think it looks rather plain?

Yes .. truth
it's a bit plain ..
But I like skyscrapers with glassy facade

BTW, Do you think the buildings design looks like Wisma Mulia . .hehe ..

http://www.alibaba.com/photo/10520054/The_Mega_Kuningan_Superblock.jpg

Wow!! I love both designs.

i think the current one is the best, so long as they continue to construct the taller tower

so its jsut the smaller tower that is UC ?

yup, the smaller 48 storey tower is under construction now.
the taller 70 storey tower will commence next year, by a different developer apparently.

I wonder how much green space area that left in kuningan after this completion

http://free.one.picturehost.co.uk/HPIM0314.jpg

hmm.. I reckon in the next like 5 years.. the whole Mega Kuningan area will be filled with skyscrapers

are there any pictures on the current progress of this projecT?

WHATSUP WITH THIS PROJECT?? comeo n gusy wee need updates! haha

Joko, thanks for the latest pics. Amazing! Doesn't look like Jakarta at all. All the design & colors of the existing and u/c buildings blend in nicely! W/ definitely make it into a proper block of buildings, in a brand new area, w/out slums/other eye-sores, as is the case w/ most of Jakarta's skyscrapers, backing on to an urban kampung, following a ribbon development, therefore never having a proper block w/ similar buildings.
ciao, dian

Joko, can you send the latest Ritz and Bellagio pics to my email? alvin.pontoh@gmail.com

Thanx mate! I can't seem to access them here in Shanghai...

whoa thank sfor hte pic... and im guessing that there's that protective layer thing on the glass that they'd have to peel off later on right? cuz that doesn't relaly look like glass.. haha.. and i noticed that on the fence, it says ritz carlton and airllanaga apartaments, but it also says mega kuningan international something tower... do u guys think that the mega kuningan internatoional something tower is the otehr taller buillding? or that mystery tower u guys were talking about.. www.megakuningan.com

to Joko: Sorry, Gmail is stuffed...do you mind sending the pics again to pontoh83@yahoo.com ? Thanx man, I owe you one.

any updates??? pictures?? :runaway:

check the proposed jakarta thread, There is new tower in Ritz carlton project area, around 270-300m tall.

woow... nice update macgyver..
how many stories are they up to?? 20 something? hehehe
cool...

35+

I just learnt today from my guess who is the owner of a construction and engineering company in Jakarta that the second tower (63 stories) at Ritz Carlton complex will be Bulgary Hotel. What a good news! It means Jakarta will have more luxury collections. Does everyone know that there are only two Bulgary Hotels in the world so far. One in Milan and another one is now being built in Jimbaran, Bali. So Jakarta will home to the third Bulgary property. Wow, I can't wait.

I think Jakarta has more international brand hotels compare to other cities in Southeast Asia .. but other cities are catching very fast too, especially Bangkok and Saigon !!

BVLGARI hotel ? wow thats awesome man! Bali, particulary have so many branded hotel, I mean A LOT. Armani and Trumph are also waiting for the green light.

Btw guys, last september ago, Michael Jackson was in Hotel Patra Bali for a month! friend of mine whos working there told me that. Bush and Laura Bush were also spending time there during a visit to Bali last year.

cheers

awesome news!! wow?? I wonder why BVLGARI chose Indonesia to be their first base in Asia out of all other seemingly more attractive candidates such as China , Thailand, Singapore...it shows that they really have faith in this country and so here's a round of applause from me. :applause:

here are pictures of this building again, just in case some of you missed them.

I wonder too...i can understand Bali, but if they're opening another one, i'd expect it to be in Phuket or sth, not Jakarta.

So, which luxury hotels are in Jakarta now?

Luxury collections in Jakarta?

I would say The Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, The Dharmawangsa and JW Marriott. I wish St Regis will be in Jakarta also to add more collection.

whatabout the grand hyatt?

thanks for the picture updates btw! :)

whatabout the grand hyatt?

Yes, you are right that Grand Hyatt is categorized as luxury hotel too. I also hope that Singapore's Raffles Hotel will consider to build a new property in Jakarta as they are now constructing 2 properties in Bali and Bintan. Or the under renovation Grand Indonesia Hotel later can be run under the Raffles management as the latter is more into something classical and historical.

yo, this is the latest pic of ritzy.. i took the pic yester day (12/12/2004)

hope this satisfying..

http://img79.exs.cx/img79/6906/p10100116vy.jpg

i'm still newbie in photograph.. sorry
Cheers,

man.. it's pretty damn tall already... cool.. ehhee
cant wait to see it finished

Hey it loooks great, thanks for the pics! Just one thing though, I think it looks rather "thin"....

I guess Ritz Carlton is now doing 45 floors or so. Hmmm almost done. So, up to now there are 3 properties on fiishing step in Maga Kuningan area: Bellagio Residence; Bellagio Mansion; and Ritz Carlton. Must be fantastic!

Anyone knows more about the Oakwood project?

Looking from the rendering that Alvin posted, I got confused with the building, its like Alvin said, thin and they got 2 tower?

Alvin does the rendering that you posted have two tower on 1 concrete building? I think it was one tall building right? and the other 60+ floor is on the other side? Correct me if im wrong.

cheers

They are going up so fast anyway. I think we will find out soon when they are finished. No matter what, they are beautiful and Jakarta will be made more beautiful after this.

yet another one.. i took these on my way to office this morning.. (today)
lil bit hazy out there..

http://img138.exs.cx/img138/8194/pc1600184du.jpg
dang! why I'm so going mad about this building..
i want to post the night view.. but still can't take a proper shot yet..

They are so much higher than the JW Marriott across from them (or next to them on the pict.). Are they the 327 m towers. Look very tall to me. :runaway:

if you see closer .. tower number 1 has reach a "thicker" floor platform.. is it the top floor? well but i expect it to be ..up..and up... higher..higher.. :P

David, they are 2 towers however the BASE IS JOINT up to approx. the 20th floor, and then branches off to become 2 towers from that point to the 45th storey - get it? IN addition to these towers, there will be that bvlgari tower which will be 63 storeys & is taller.

Ndiw, yeah you're right looks like the 1st tower has reached the peak.

Medan01, no , these are not the 327 m tower, the'yre supposed to only be about 212 m I think. The 63 storey tower will start construction next year, but its unclear what the exacty height would be.

Excellent pics btw, looks really tall!

Oh okay i got it now, btw I hope they change their mind and build it right away to the 327! I cant wait until next year :bash:

Good picture ndiw. it surely looks very tall

cheers

There's so much prestigious project on Mega Kuningan... woww.. this one really nice. Mega Kuningan rocks!

anyone knows when the Bvlgari tower will start construction?

I guess Ritz Carlton is now doing 45 floors or so. Hmmm almost done.

it's 48th floor on the first tower, and 47th on the second tower.. i'll show u the floor mark on the image, but i forgot to bring the usb cable :P

btw the oakwood is still flat land.. nothing appears there but surounding fence

hey... here's the pic as you can see..
http://img148.exs.cx/img148/3039/floormarker2of.jpg

Cheers,

the thing looks tall no?
http://img145.exs.cx/img145/7196/tall6th.jpg

dang! i keep amazed by it's height already..

shit, the height is quite impressive. Jakarta should have more 200m+ like this one.... Thanks for the pics, NDIW :)

By the way, what is that building under construciton next to it? Is it Bellagio Mansions?

The construction next to the Ritz Carlton is mostlikely the Bellagio Mansion, as they are facing each other, if I'm not mistaken.

that's correct arirang, it's bellagio mansion..

sicckkkk.. it's sooo tall.. loooks soo good..
Jakarta's skyline will be soo much better looking now..

Now if we can just clear up the air pollution a bit....it will be even better.

The air in Jakarta makes my throat hurt. :(

at last they're doing somethin about it ...
http://img186.exs.cx/img186/1931/p10358316ko.jpg

As much as I love reflective buildings and I am rightly jealous sydney doesn't get this type of facade on its buildings, the old design was a better match for the base. The design they are building is phenomenal but the towers site in total isolation from the classically inspired base. The base it far too gradiose and not in keeping with city hotel architecture - leave this stuff for vegas and the resort islands.

If they did wish to have these new glassy towers sitting on the classical and IMO oversized base then it would have looked far better to take some elements from the base up into the lower section of the tower design. Look at Mandalay Bay in vegas - it is the same type of thing but the reflective tower integrates perfectly with the quite differently styled base. Just taking some small classic elements into the design to puntuate the glass in the lower sections would have achieved this.

The design is still amazing and will add an amazing element to the skyline and a great amenity for the city - it will where I stay if take a trip to Jakarta in a year or so.

Finally they are working on Oakwood Premiere. How tall is it? Hopefully around 40 stories.

Finally they are working on Oakwood Premiere. How tall is it? Hopefully around 40 stories.
I believe it'll be 38 stories...

any updates on this project? picture updates would be highly appreciated, as I, and I'm sure others, are extremely anxious to see how far the ritz has gotten. and on the sidenote, why has this place been soooo dead lately? :sleepy: :eek2:

once again, pictures would be awesome :) :)

and godbless the tsunami victims

Hi all, I'm in Indonesia for a short period of time. internet access has been difficult, currently in Bali but will soon be flying back to Jakarta. I hope to bring you guys pics in 2 week's time! Previously, I found four major new apartment projects:
1. one classy apartment in Darmawangsa called "Eminence" - consists of 2 towers apartments, 2 towers hotels + office and shopping center. (about 25 storeys each)
2. Mediterania Garden REsidence 2 - next to Taman Anggrek and MGR1. It consist of 6 towers of 30-35 storeys each. Will start construction in Q3, 2005.
3. 2 apartment towers in Permata Hijau called Pakuwon Berlian will resume construction after 7 years postponed. They'll eb about 30 storeys each.
4. Four 40-storey towers called Gandaria in Kebayoran Baru...to start construction late this year.

And FYI, the Ritz Carlton upon its opening in May, will be Jakarta's first 6-star hotel! Cheers :cheers: :nocrook:

Ha?
There is SIX STAR hotel????
What qualification need to be fullfiled for 6 stars?

It seems topped out already...but...dont.think.it's 327 meters....is it really?

I dont think so... :( 200+ more likely.

Btw..
I always SHOCKED everytime I saw your post count.
How did you do that? I am 10,500 posts short hehehehe.

ask Huaiwei, He's 13,310. Rafflescity is also on top, 11,530...hehe..:D

Chad, these ones are 212m each, 48 storeys. There will be a third tower, 67 storeys, on the same roundabout, height remains unknown:

327m was the height of the original twin towers design (below) which was scrapped in favor of the current 3 towers design.

cheers

The new design looks great aswell :okay:

OMG Alvin
Basically you are the top photo poster right now
Great posts mate
Love those photos!!!!

Great pics...both the updates and the renderings. I love this project, the best in Jakarta right now.

6 stars? Wow...thats awesome for Jakarta's hotel industry!

nice pictures and rendering.... really enjoy them.... hmmmmm

YES! finally! thanks a BUNCH for those pictures, they look awesome.

Thanks for the compliments, personally I cannot wait to see what Mega Kuningan would look like 3-4 years from now. :D

Here's a few more renderings of the proposed 3rd tower in the complex (thanks to Passion4Architecture), in case anyone of you missed it. Information is sketchy, though I've heard previously it will be a Bvlgari Hotel. ANyone heard anything about it? WIll start construction this year.

Yep...i missed this:D Its design is incredible:eek2: Once built, it should be my favorite in indonesia and one of my favs in SEA.

wow look at the drawings in the middle of the brochure....if those 2 towers really are 212m, then the tall one will rise over 300M...or maybe even taller...like 350

wont u guys agree? i mean...c'mon take a loot at it..

350m? probably a bit pushing it. i'll be happy with anything above 300m.

Geez... they better be wearing safety gears.

Ndiw,what a wonderful close up shot of the pinnacle...thanks for that!

Btw, ndiw, what camera did you use for a such powerfull zoom?

sanhen: cheapo Olympus Camedia 750-UZ .. 10x optical zoom ;)

they're currently constructing the helipads?

is it me? but man oh man these towers look taller than they actually are...dont get me wrong....212 M is pretty tall, but u know...its not WOWIEE tall..

I also heard that it will be the Bvlgari hotel. Bvlgari hotel is actually managed by the Ritz Carlton hotel which also belongs to the Marriott group. Only make sense for Dua Mutiara to continue working with the Marriott group.

Let's see if there is anymore announcement regarding this once the Bvlgari hotel in Bali opens in May this year.

.. so reflective.. i took it 6 march 2005, from my home..

excellent pic!! I just love the glass facade, its surreal! :okay:

I think thats in Bali.

The one is Bali will open this May. There is a rumour circulating aound the hospitality industry that Bvlgari is also considering a property in Jakarta. Possible location may be next to the Ritz Carlton Jakarta and across from JW Marriott.

Bvlgari Hotel worldwide (which is now only in Milan and soon to be Bali) is being managed by the Ritz Carlton / Marriott group.

If true, the Ritz Carlton/Marriott is surely pushing in hard in Indonesia. Another Ritz Carlton hotel will open at Pacific Place, SCBD by late 2006

hey guys.. im back..
the ritz is progessing really well eh?
so.. what did I miss for the pass 2 months or so.. ehehe

Welcome back, Maha. We all miss u! :)

where've you been, mate??

If true, the Ritz Carlton/Marriott is surely pushing in hard in Indonesia. Another Ritz Carlton hotel will open at Pacific Place, SCBD by late 2006

Pacific Place also belongs to Tan Kian.....the same tycoon who owns JW Marriott and The Ritz Carlton in Kuningan....

2 Ritz Carltons in 1 city - What a glamorous city Jakarta becomes! What if Bvlgari is also open.....WOW ! WOW! WOW!

:)

I think mahaputra just finished vacation in Bangkok, he mentioned it couple months back..am i right mate?

cheers

thanks 4 the update.

heheh.. hey guys..
yeah.. ur right dave.. i just came back from my holidays to indonesia and thailand..
went to jakarta, yogyakarta, manado, bali and bangkok..
awesome holiday..
anyway.. this is great for jakarta man.. soo many projects popping up in the last 2 months..
and they're all great

...

interesting info :D any word on what's being planned for the remainder 3/4 of the Mega Kuningan loop?

...

Actually what I meant was, whether the 327m tower would be an apartment or another hotel (and if so, which), or an office building..or mixed use?

But I agree with ur opinion concerning Mega Kuningan v SCBD. I think the SCBD， upon completion， would look marvelous...and would be a showcase for Jakarta's development in the future...One thing lacking will probably be a good integrated transportation system - even now the monorail is in doubt, MRT still uncertain - which will probably take at least a decade to set up..

...

Interesting how the upmarket shopping complex battle will shift from today's Plaza Senayan v good old Plaza Indonesia (albeit a rejuvenated one via EX) to tomorrow's Grand Indonesia v Pacific Place v International Plaza.

Taking the analogy of video games, it reminds me of the 16 bit battle between the Super Nintendo v Sega Mega Drive (and its Sega CD add-on), which has since shifted to a three-horse race now between Sony (PS2), Microsoft (Xbox) and Nintendo (Gamecube). hahaha does this make sense to anyone? :D

and just a comment. if Airmas Asri's plan takes hold, it'll be interesting to see whether the classical-theme base will maintained for the remainder 3/4 of the loop... I think they should, otherwise it'd look weird..

I can assure there won't be any bvlgari hotel in jakarta, at least for the next couple of years. It will be unfair for other cities/country. Bvlgari Resort in bali was approved purely and simply because the owner (Sutikno Sudirjo - MRA Group) has a very good relationship with Bvlgari (the brand, jeweller) and they own the license of the brand in Indonesia.

Bali is also a good place to promote it's first resort (the one in milan is a hotel) because of its location and maybe those people in milan loved bali so much.

Tan Kian has proposed bvlgari for the 327 m tower next to ritz mega kuningan but apparently it wasn't given the green light and he didn't get the 3/4 of the circle (ritz mega kuningan is 1/4). so off he goes to scbd and let the Cobalt Blue Lion roars once again ... hehehehe

Thank you for the good insights, Wopde.....

Cheers.

well whatever they plan for the 3/4 of the complex.. I'm pretty sure that it would be a high tower around 250-300m.. hehehe fingers crossed

I've been following the discussion on whether or not Jakarta will get a Bulgari Hotel, following the one in Bali, and I'm compelled to give my comment:

> I've heard about the Bulgari Jakarta hotel circulating, but nothing is confirmed at this time, the other hotel I've heard about is the 5-star + (or it probably falls under a 6-star category) "St. Regis", in the Mega Kuningan Area. This will be another Tan Kian's Projects.

> "St. Regis" is part of Starwood Hotels' Brands, which includes Westin, the uber cool "W" (which I'd LOVE TO SEE IN JKT!!!), Sheraton, etc.
Since this would be a smaller boutique hotel (meaning fewer rooms), it may eventually be part of a tower, and not occupy its own independent tower/building (eg. the top 20 floors of an Office Tower in Mega Kuningan).

ciao, dian

wait.. which one is airmas asri's plan for the other tower? is it the one in the rendering or that other megakuningan town park one?

airmas asri's is the other renderings that I posted earlier.

Found this site http://www.poole-associates.com/time-line.htm , which seems to confirm St Regis Jakarta (and Bali)??!!

airmas asri's is the other renderings that I posted earlier.

Found this site http://www.poole-associates.com/time-line.htm , which seems to confirm St Regis Jakarta (and Bali)??!!

Any Starwood property in downtown Jakarta would be welcoming. Westin is still under construction and the 2 existing Sheratons are in the North part of the city and at the airport.

...

i have to disagree with you passion4Architecture ... as my source is the closest man and woman who works for Tan Kian. He won't be the owner of St Regis or Starwood operated hotels, it will canibalize the whole market as Ritz vs JW Marriott vs St Regis will battle within a very close area.

Beside, why bother getting Starwood hotels when you already have the leading name in the hotel industry?

Mega Kuningan doesn't need anymore 5 star hotels, what it need is traffic and more people ...
...and a good MRT system, as I always argue. :D

The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta Opens May 2005; Feng-Shui Inspired Design in Mega Kuningan
Wednesday March 16, 5:44 pm ET


CHEVY CHASE, MD--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 16, 2005 -- Expanding its presence in the capital cities of Asia, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. will debut its eighth luxury property in the heart of Jakarta's exclusive Mega Kuningan district on May 1, 2005, with the opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta. The hotel is owned by Dua Mutiara Group. An introductory Bed and Breakfast package at this five star caliber hotel is available starting at $158 USD on the weekdays and $138 USD on the weekends from May 1 to August 31.

"We are very pleased to introduce a second location in Indonesia," noted Simon F. Cooper, president and chief operating officer. "It is a strategic address in Jakarta and will provide our customers with every convenience and amenity," he said. The Ritz-Carlton, Bali Resort & Spa, on Jimbaran Bay, is one of the world's most acclaimed hotels.

The 333-room hotel, located 13 miles from Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta International Airport, is ideally situated for both business and leisure travelers to Jakarta. Designed by Hirsh Bedner & Associates and embracing the five elements of feng shui: wind, earth, water, metal and fire throughout the interior and exterior, The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta will offer understated elegance and exceptional guest service.

Through placement of feng shui enhancers in the design of spacious guestrooms and suites, the hotel will capture the essential energy of "chi" with color palettes of warm yellow and cool white. The "yin & yang" theory of balance and harmony is also evident in the location of furnishings and artwork.

Full-length windows overlooking the city will offer an in-room environment of both comfort and beauty. The most modern amenities will be found in guestrooms, including a 42-inch plasma television, high-speed Internet access, plush feather bedding, and bathroom with sunken marble baths, showers and double vanities.

The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta includes 51 suites, one Presidential suite (400 square meters or 4305 square feet) and three Ritz-Carlton suites (250 square meters or 2690 square feet). Signature special services will be available in The Ritz-Carlton Club, an elevator-key access private floor. Featured amenities include complimentary food and beverage presentations throughout the day and the services of a dedicated, multi-lingual concierge staff.

Circular in design, the high-rise building of 48 floors features a main lobby area distinguished by a spectacular grand staircase. Five dining and entertainment outlets are available at The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta including: The Portovenere, serving contemporary Italian cuisine; The Prime Steak House with a menu of grilled beef and fresh seafood; Airlangga, with an array of regional cuisines; Mistere, a nightclub with live music and private karaoke room; and The Lobby Lounge, offering cocktails, wines, desserts and traditional afternoon tea service.

For meetings and social events, The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta can accommodate groups in a variety of venues. From the 1,600 square meter (17,222 square-foot) Grand Ballroom to the 20 smaller meeting rooms and five executive boardrooms, the hotel's facilities are state-of-the-art. The services of a conference concierge are available to assist with any needs and requests of a meeting or event planner.

Recreational offerings at The Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta include an outdoor swimming pool, whirlpool and sauna and separate children's pool and playground. A full-service spa and fitness center and Ritz Kids activity program are also available. The hotel includes a jogging track for runners and is within a short distance to squash and tennis courts. Private golf courses are available for hotel guests and are less than 30 minutes away.

Nearby visitor attractions include The Museum of Fine Arts and History Museum. The Mega Kuningan District of Jakarta includes many fine shopping areas featuring name brand designer goods.

i dont like the lion... it ruins the whole sleek aspect of the tower.. sort of like a big zit on the tower's forhead.. heh

and more pics WOULD be awesome.. thanks :cheers: :cheers: :)

i dont like the lion... it ruins the whole sleek aspect of the tower.. sort of like a big zit on the tower's forhead.. heh

Dear 627,
You may dislike the Lion logo on top of the bldg, but that's Ritz Carlton's logo, it's part of the Hotel Mgmt Deal to put their logo on the bldg, no matter how hideous it may look. Ritz Carlton does use a classical approach in their design for hotels, to exude old-world style tracing back their roots to Cesar Ritz of Spain, the Hotelier who started The Ritz in Madrid, which then expanded into Paris & London. The Lion logo mirrors the same classical design.
ciao,
dian

Dear passion,
I fully comprehend what the Lion represents, and how it stands as the Ritz Carlton's logo. However, i do not believe that you have percieved correctly what I was trying to point out, as unlike your previous implications, I am not advocating for, nor am i suggesting the removal of it due to its unsightliness. COntrarily, I am merely presenting my opinions on how distasteful the lion is on the building. Moreover, i did not protest against the fact that the logo itself is distasteful, but rather that its awkward placement does not suit the building's modernistic attributes. Thus, my previous post consisted simply of fluff, as it was solely opinionative, and i did not intend to imply anything.
Chao, 627

Very beautiful building.

wow.. NDIW, i give you MAD props for that excellent picture. ill give the same props for joko who has been our dominant source for picture updates. thanks guys. kuningan is looking awesome and someone should post that pic in the other international forum.. anyway, did they start building the other half of this project yet?

How tall is the building ,actually , 327M ?? It doesn t look 327M to me.

Its 212m. The third tower will be taller, but not necessarily 327m.

have they started building teh tall one yet?

I don't think so...but I'm not sure. Perhaps Jakarta forumers can confirm this.

have they started building teh tall one yet?

No ... Not Yet ....

The one that start constructing is between Belaggio Residence and Ritz .... the OakWood Jakarta ....

i was very lucky while i took the pic, the weather was very very clear. what can be better?

the other tower of ritz has not been started yet, it's still 'half cake', i mean the base looks like a birthday cake to me, sliced into 2 halves :P

I wonder if they'll build the other 3/4 of the base like the current one...I guess they should for the sake of uniformity of design.

...

Hmm thanx for the info wopde...it seems that the final design has been decided and they are in early preparations to begin construction. I wonder if they will adopt that new design I posted from (yes) Indonesia Design magazine.

Note that the image I posted does not include design of the base, so there is every possibility that the base design will remain and only the tower will change...

oops, I take it back. the image does seem to suggest a change of design of the base:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v402/alvinpontoh/DSC03013.jpg

i doubt that they'd be stupid enough to have the base be with a different design... plus, the base in that rendering looks really sketchy.

http://img150.exs.cx/img150/2315/x25wc.jpg (http://www.imageshack.us) keep diggin' folks..

Wow ... that .... "Kantor Taman" or "Office Park" .... is high already .....

Any ideas ... how high they will build it ?

Thanks Ndiw. In the first picture, I can see that they are constructing the 'thoroughfare' in the middle of the circle. and in the second picture - perhaps a swimming pool!

PLEASE REPLY TO ME

BTY IS IT TRUE THAT if it 327m it will be the world's tallest hotel!?!?!
please reply me

thanks

BTY IS IT TRUE THAT if it 327m it will be the world's tallest hotel!?!?!
please reply me

thanks
no, not true. the current tallest hotel is the Hyatt in Jinmao Tower, Shanghai...which is 400m+...:D

"Hyatt in Jinmao Tower"
Which means the whole tower is not being used as a hotel? or...?

but i think it is not the tallest hotel in the world cause the whole building is not used for hotel it is mix-used
currently the orld tallest hotel is BURJ AL ARAB in dubai measures at 321m as the whole building used for hotel (check this out it is also 7stars hotel)
so if ritz measuresz 327m it will be the tallest hotel as the whole building will be used as hotel

"Hyatt in Jinmao Tower"
Which means the whole tower is not being used as a hotel? or...?

only the top is used as a hotel, the bottom 50 floors are used as office space
i think the current tallest hotel tower is Baiyoke hotel in Bangkok .. it's about 400 m

hmmm by 2009, the RItz Carlton in the Union Square Phase 7 (Hongkong) will be the tallest hotel according to this article:
http://www.ritzcarlton.com/corporate/press_room/releases/kowloon.html

but i think it is not the tallest hotel in the world cause the whole building is not used for hotel it is mix-used
currently the orld tallest hotel is BURJ AL ARAB in dubai measures at 321m as the whole building used for hotel (check this out it is also 7stars hotel)
so if ritz measuresz 327m it will be the tallest hotel as the whole building will be used as hotel

Encon, Ritz will be located in one of the two 212m towers. The 3rd tower (possibly 300m+ - yet to be built) will be apartments I think.

Wow. Nice photo's, I work for one of the Ritz Carlton's here in Georgia, maybe I should transfer so I can work in such an awesome building! :)

The towers that you took pictures of are both 212 m.. One tower is the hotel, the other one is the AIrlannga Apartments.

@Rafflescity: Yep, spot on. the 300m tower should start soon. my guess is middle of the year...
cheers :)

Thanks for clearing that up. I found the title of the thread rather confusing and thought the construction pics referred to the 300m tower :)

Don't Forget the Peak :-)

how tall is the peak as bni is 250m ?

what do we all think of the design, guys? personally i liked the old one better, it has more character. but then again, renderings may be misleading...it may turn out to be nicer than it looks (well, disregarding the height for now)

for me i like the second one as the building look more softer tahn the st one more 'galak' and rougher

H! I GOT THE official jakarta ritz brochure do u want me to upload them?

The information I was given initially (and thus subsequently posted on skyscrapers.com as official data) is that it is going to be 182m. But I've read an article which says that it will be 225m, so I'm not sure!
