Tanah Abang to have new look in five years


Damar Harsanto, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

In five years, Tanah Abang will be transformed from an overcrowded, dirty and sprawling market area, to a slick, new shopping and business complex. The area, notorious for thugs, will boast a new center for shopping, business and apartments.

City developer PD Pembangunan Sarana Jaya president Tebyan A'maari said that the new face of Tanah Abang would be made possible through his company's Rp 6 trillion (around US$698 million) Sentra Primer Kota (urban primary center) project.

"Finance is not an issue here as there are several investors. We plan to start construction this year," he told reporters on Thursday at City Hall after presenting the proposal to Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso.

Despite a positive response from Sutiyoso, the developer is still waiting for the administration's green light.

Teyban said that the governor emphasized finding other investors aside from those who had already submitted proposals. However, he declined to name any of the investors.

The 12-hectare mega-project will stretch from Tanah Abang textile market to Tanah Abang railway station. Currently, a renovation project to transform Tanah Abang's Block A, which was destroyed by fire on Feb. 19, 2003, into a luxury shopping mall is ongoing.

The Rp 400 million new mall will have 16 floors above ground and three below. The mall will face Tanah Abang railway station on Jl. Jati Baru, which is to become a monorail station.

Tebyan promised that none of around 2,000 families in the six community units in the area would be forcibly evicted for the project.

"We will compensate them for their land property with ownership of shares in the property. Their ownership of the shares will be dependent on the value of their land and buildings," he said.

The project has already been criticized by an urban planning expert of Trisakti University Yayat Supriatna.

"The problem lies in the access to Tanah Abang market as it is overcrowded. If the administration wants to develop the area, it must improve the existing infrastructure to boost transaction among traders," he said.

He also warned that the construction of a plush business and trade district would hurt the existing business in the area that mostly involved small and medium size enterprises.

Initially opened in 1735 during Dutch rule, Tanah Abang is one of the oldest markets in the capital. To date, 7,484 traders are registered in the market, not including more than 3,000 unregistered vendors operating in the area surrounding the market.

waaaah a 16 floors mall ?!?! dhieeeem thats gonna be humungous

and again good news for my beloved JKT:D

cant wait 2 see the city in 2010

Tanah Abang project to model itself on HK plan
Damar Harsanto, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

In an effort to integrate Tanah Abang's new business district with its old market, Governor Sutiyoso ordered officials of city-run developer PD Pembangungan Sarana Jaya to compare their project with an existing one in Hong Kong.

"I told the officials to visit Hong Kong to learn about the similar project there, so that they can adopt it for the (Tanah Abang) plan," he said on Friday.

Sutiyoso wanted the project to accommodate a wholesale market, a trade center, office buildings, three-star hotels and low-cost apartments in a vast complex.

"Tanah Abang market has a high economic value. We want to rearrange the area in accordance with Jakarta's needs as a metropolitan city, away from the messy, congested market we have today," he said.

Famous as the largest textile market in Southeast Asia, Tanah Abang is also notorious for its poor and crowded access as well as its gangs of thugs.

The city's Rp 6 trillion (US$710 million) Sentra Primer Kota (urban primary center) project will convert a 12-hectare residential area, which is currently inhabited by 2,000 families in six community units, into a business complex stretching from the textile market to the railway station. The construction is expected to finish in five years.

Despite giving approval to the project, Sutiyoso emphasized there were still "some principal requirements" that needed to be fulfilled by the developer.

"They must offer parts of the project to the locals, whose plots of land or houses will be taken. The developer must also ensure these people earn a better livelihood in the new complex," he said.

PD Pembangunan Sarana Jaya president Tebyan A'maari said on Thursday his company would compensate the residents for their land and buildings by giving them property shares in the project.

"However, we have not decided on the technicalities of how to assess their asset value," he said.

Although some investors have submitted development proposals, Sutiyoso has asked the developer to "look for other strategic partners".

The project, which was first introduced in 1998, has been delayed due to strong opposition from locals and experts, who have said it would hurt the mostly small and medium-sized businesses in the area.

The city administration is currently renovating Tanah Abang's block A, which was destroyed in a fire on Feb. 19, 2003, transforming it into a luxury shopping mall. The Rp 400 million renovation will have 16 floors above ground and three below and is scheduled to finish next year.

and btw, I read somewhere that the new residential blocks in Tanah Abang will consist of 24-storey apartments ...

Monorail - Jakarta

Wujudkan Monorel, DKI Jalin Kerjasama dengan SMRT & Hitachi



Foto: Ilustrasi/udien

BeritaJakarta.com Mewujudkan pembangunan monorel, Pemprop DKI Jakarta akan menandatangani memorandum of understanding (MoU) baru dengan sebuah konsorsium yang terdiri dari Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) dan Hitachi Jepang pada pertengahan April mendatang.
Gubernur DKI Sutiyoso mengatakan hal itu seusai rapat pimpinan yang membahas pembangunan monorel, busway tahap II dan III, bersama Wagub DKI Fauzi Bowo, Sekda DKI Ritola Tasmaya, para asisten sekda, dan Kepala Bawasda DKI Firman Hutajulu di Balai Kota DKI, Senin (29/3).
Menurut Sutiyoso, dipilihnya SMRT dan Hitachi Jepang karena keduanya dianggap paling layak dan mampu memenuhi sejumlah persyaratan yang diajukan DKI.
Pemilihan investor itu, katanya, dilihat dari keseriusan memenuhi tiga syarat yang diajukan Pemprop DKI. Pertama, proyek ini sifatnya nonrecourse. Artinya tidak ada jaminan utang (jaminan lainnya) dari pemerintah. Kedua, sistem yang diajukan terbukti andal (well-proven) dan sanggup melayani calon penumpang Kota Jakarta berpenduduk 10 juta jiwa dengan baik. Ketiga, International Transit Central (ITC), mitra dalam negeri pengerjaan proyek monorel, harus bisa menjamin secara teknis dan finansial terhadap proyek monorel dan mampu menyelesaikannya dalam waktu 2,5 tahun.
Proyek ini, katanya, akan menarik investor asing dengan skema foreign direct investment (FDI). Investasi langsung dari luar negeri ini akan membantu citra Indonesia di mata dunia untuk membuktikan negara kita secara ekonomi sudah kondusif bagi investasi asing.
Bahkan, lanjut Sutiyoso, selama 2,5 tahun pembangunan proyek ini, akan mampu menyerap tenaga kerja sekitar 10 ribu orang meliputi bidang konstruksi, konsultan, dan suplier bahan baku. "Dengan demikian, ekonomi masyarakat Jakarta menjadi terimbas lebih baik atas kehadiran proyek itu," ujarnya.
Lebih lanjut Mantan Pangdam Jaya ini menuturkan, SMRT mungkin lebih banyak akan menangani sumber-sumber keuangan, sedangkan Hitachi menangani masalah teknologi untuk proyek monorel tersebut.
Berdasarkan perhitungan International Transit Central (ITC), mitra dalam negeri pengerjaan proyek monorel, proyek yang akan menghubungkan Kampung Melayu-Casablanca-Roxy serta kawasan Segi Tiga Emas tersebut akan menghabiskan anggaran sekitar 500 juta dollar AS.
Sebagaimana diberitakan sebelumnya, karena swasta asal Malaysia, MTrans Holdings Sdn Bhd tidak memperlihatkan komitmen yang jelas tentang kelanjutan proyek monorel, sehingga kerja sama tidak bisa dilanjutkan dan DKI terpaksa mencari investor baru.

Gubernur Sutiyoso sendiri telah meyakini keandalan teknologi monorel perusahaan negeri Sakura itu. Ia mengatakan, kualitas monorel Hitachi tidak dapat diragukan. Sejarah pembangunan monorel di Tokyo oleh Hitachi memperlihatkan kompetensi perusahaan tersebut.
"Kualitas Hitachi tidak bisa diragukan lagi. Mereka telah 40 tahun beroperasi sejak tahun 1964. Selama 40 tahun beroperasi belum pernah ada kegagalan beroperasi maupun kecelakaan fatal. Record mereka yang dibanggakan yaitu tidak pernah ada satu korban jiwa selama pengoperasian. Sampai sekarang Tokyo monorel masih beroperasi dengan sempurna," kata Gubernur Sutiyoso beberapa waktu lalu.
Pemprop DKI menginginkan proyek monorel itu bisa segera dibangun tahun ini dan mulai beroperasi akhir tahun 2006.
Meski memuji teknologi Hitachi, Sutiyoso mengatakan, ia tetap menyerahkan kepada Indonesia Transit Central (ITC), siapa yang akan dipilih menjadi mitra atau investor dalam proyek pembangunan monorel di Jakarta.
Selanjutnya, Pemprop DKI mengajukan sejumlah syarat mengenai investor yang harus dipilih. Syarat-syarat itu antara lain, proyek harus bersifat investasi murni atau non-recours (tidak ada jaminan utang atau jaminan lain dari pemerintah), teknologi yang diajukan harus teknologi andal (well-proven), ITC dan mitra asing harus bisa menjamin secara teknis dan finansial bahwa proyek itu selesai dalam 2,5 tahun.
Untuk diketahui, ITC merupakan sebuah konsorsium perusahaan-perusahaan konstruksi dalam negeri sebagai mitra lokal Pemprop DKI dalam membangun monorel yang menghubungkan kawasan segi tiga emas (blue line) sepanjang 14,8 kilometer dan Kampung Melayu-Roxy (green line) sepanjang 12,2 kilometer.

Monorail - Jakarta (english version)

http://www.beritajakarta.com/NewsView.asp?ID=12533

City to sign deal with foreign firms for monorail
City News - March 30, 2004
Damar Harsanto, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
After dropping a Malaysian firm from its list of potential investors for the monorail project earlier this month, the Jakarta administration confirmed on Monday that it would sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a consortium led by Japanese firm Hitachi for the project.
"The MOU between the administration and the consortium will be signed in mid-April," Governor Sutiyoso said on Monday.
The initiation of the project will be on June 22, to coincide with the commemoration of Jakarta's anniversary.
The consortium -- comprising Indonesian companies PT Adhi Karya, Global Profex Synergy and Radiant Utama, grouped as Indonesian Transit Central (ITC) and foreign companies Hitachi, Temasek and Singapore Mass Transit -- was appointed by the administration last year to carry out the project.
"The consortium, which will carry the name PT Jakarta Monorail, will handle all administrative work including securing agreement with the administration," said assistant to the City Secretary for Development Affairs IGKG Suena.
Hitachi will provide the technology for the monorail construction while Temasek and Singapore Mass Transit will finance the project. The Indonesian companies will build the supporting structures.
The monorail project is slated to become operational in 2006 under a 30-year build-operate-transfer scheme. The consortium will have the right to determine fares on the monorail.
Suena said the administration would not subsidize the project because it involved huge sums that the administration could not afford.
According to Sutiyoso, the project is estimated to cost US$600 million, more than the proposal by MTrans Holding of Malaysia at $540 million. However, he argued that the Japanese firm was awarded the project as it promised to meet all requirements set by Jakarta.
The decision to use Hitachi was made soon after Sutiyoso visited Japan early this month at the invitation of the Japanese firm. Besides, the MOU between ITC and MTrans, which was signed last year, had already expired on Feb. 28 and the Malaysian firm did not respond to Jakarta's demand that it build the monorail on both the more and less lucrative routes.
The lucrative route will run for 14.8 kilometers, serving the city's golden triangle area of Kuningan, Sudirman and Senayan, with 16 stations. The less lucrative route will be 12.2 kilometers long, from Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta, to Roxy, West Jakarta.
Sutiyoso had previously expressed concern that his administration would not be able to find investors for the less lucrative line if they were only interested in the more profitable one.

Pengembang Pondok Indah Mal Lakukan Ekspansi

JAKARTA – Sebagian besar orang pasti sudah kenal dengan nama Pondok Indah Mal atau yang kerap disebut dengan PIM yang terletak di kawasan perumahan elit Pondok Indah di Jakarta Selatan. PIM ini merupakan tempat jalan-jalan sembari berbelanja.
Kini untuk melengkapi hadirnya PIM yang telah berdiri semenjak tahun 1991 tersebut, PT Metropolitan Kentjana, Tbk selaku pengembang PIM yang bernaung di bawah grup Pondok Indah menghadirkan PIM II, yang dilakukan pra peluncuran (pre-launching), beberapa waktu lalu di Jakarta.
Presiden Direktur PT Metropolitan Kentjana Tbk, Husin Widjajakusuma mengatakan, dalam satu tahun terakhir ini telah muncul berbagai pusat perbelanjaan baru dengan konsep yang inovatif, baik berbentuk trade center, plaza dan mal.
PIM II ini lanjut Husin, bergaya arsitektur kontemporer modern. Setiap pintu masuk PIM II memiliki ciri khas dan sentuhan tersendiri. Pintu utama nantinya akan didominasi nuansa modern kontemporer, sedangkan pintu utara dan selatan dengan nuansa klasik. Pintu utara akan menonjolkan nuansa Eropa, sedangkan pintu selatan pengunjung akan serasa berada di negeri Tirai Bambu.
Selain itu juga PIM II merupakan gedung dengan disain single corridor. Dengan single corridor ini pengunjung pada saat berbelanja diharapkan tidak akan bingung karena semua toko menghadap ke satu koridor.
PIM II ini didirikan di atas lahan seluas 4,3 hektare dengan total toko 380 unit. Luas bangunan 75.000 meter persegi, yang terdiri dari empat lantai untuk toko dan empat basement untuk parkir mobil..
Lantai dasar (ground floor) dan lantai satu menurut Husin akan ditempati oleh toko-toko first liner atau yang menjual barang-barang bermerk internasional. Kategori barang-barang yang dijual tersebut mulai dari fashion, leather, accessories, wellness dan pampering.
Lantai dua akan ditempati oleh toko-toko yang menjual barang-barang dengan merk lokal, Hi-Energy and Sports, Kids and Toys. Lantai tiga sendiri akan diisi oleh toko-toko yang menjual makanan dan minuman, buku, alat-alat musik, hobi, dekorasi dan perlengkapan rumah tangga serta hiburan.
Konsep Lifestyle dan Leisure jelas Husin sangat ditonjolkan pada PIM II terutama di lantai tiga. Bahkan sebuah studio TV dengan konsep kafe akan dihadirkan, di mana pengunjung bisa menonton acara siaran langsung stasiun TV swasta. Bagi yang hobinya menonton film, akan hadir fasilitas bioskop/ sinema bertaraf premier class dengan teknologi mutakhir.

Super Modern
Direktur Pemasaran dan Operasional PT Metropolitan Ken-tjana, Andreas Kartawinata menambahkan, konsep mal ini juga spektakuler dan super modern. Pengunjung yang datang akan me-ra-sakan suasana yang nyaman dan super bright, di mana pengunjung akan merasakan suatu cahaya yang terang dan penuh warna.
Untuk mendukung PIM II, pengembang menyediakan fasilitas parkir mobil yang mampu menampung 2.500 mobil.
Agar lalu lintas tidak macet di Jalan Metro Pondok Indah yang “memisahkan” antara PIM dan PIM II, pengembang akan membangun underpass yang menelan biaya tidak kurang dari Rp 30 miliar. “Ini untuk mencegah kemacetan saja,” kata Andreas.
Dari sekian kemewahan yang ditawarkan oleh pengembang, lanjut Andreas menambahkan, sudah pasti target market PIM II adalah segmen masyarakat kelas atas. Setelah jadi nanti PIM II ini akan “bergabung” dengan PIM sebelumnya. “Namanya tetap akan Pondok Indah Mal. Tidak ada Pondok Indah Mal satu atau dua,” kata Andreas.
Untuk menghubungkan antara PIM yang telah ada sebelumnya dan PIM II yang tengah dibangun, pengembang membuat dua jembatan toko yang masing-masig terdiri dari dua lantai dengan suasana yang nyaman, sehingga ketika pengunjung melewati jembatan penghubung tersebut, serasa seperti masih di mal.
Pengembang untuk membangun PIM II ini, menurut Husin mengeluarkan dana untuk tanah saja Rp 300 miliar, sedangkan bangunan Rp 500 miliar.
Pembangunan PIM II sudah dilakukan semenjak November 2003 lalu dan akan resmi beroperasi pada Juni 2005 nanti.

Well right now Pondok Indah Mall II is underconstruction...they are digging the foundation.

A Brand new 75-storey tower will be constructed in 2005 in the Golden Triangle!! It will become Jakarta's new tallest. www.bisnisproperti.com

yiii haaaaaa.......75 storeys.....but how accurate is that info? and another mall u/c ?? in about 5 years they should change the name jakarta into Mallkarta:P

I would say that it is pretty accurate as it was in Kompas, and it came from a statement from the developer himself to the journalist :)

Some updates i can give you on the CKG International airport Jakarta.

1. The authority will build a new terminal, which is terminal (4) for domestic airlines

2. The current terminal will be fully upgraded with Mall (4 storeys) and many more facilities.

3. there will be a skytrain connecting The airport to Gambir station in jakarta (schedule 2005-2006)

4. terminal 1 2 will have skytrain or i guess monorail connecting between those two separated terminal(s).


the detail of the project is can be seen in www.angkasapura2.co.id

the head branch of CGK angkasapura told us if the budget for this upgrading will be 84% using their money.


Thats it from the aviation industry !


:cheers:

Really? where will terminal 4 be located? Is there even a terminal 3?:?
cool..skytrain to the airport. Nice.

Grey, terminal 3 is for Indonesian overseas Worker, its located right beside terminal 2. Lion air and Air asia were about to use terminal 3 but no approval, so now they plan a new terminal, which is terminal 4.



:cheers:

wohoo thats alot of construction going on.... GO JAKARTA :runaway:

hmm...i never noticed a T3. All i know is that Terminal 1 is domestic (no airconditioning) and Terminal 2 is international. There is also a small Haji terminal.

When you about to enter terminal 2, there is a billboard sign "Terminal 3 TKI"

and Terminal 1 is now air conditioning :)

here are the full listing :

Terminal 1A - Merpati Nusantara airlines and Pelita air services

Terminal 1B - Batavia air, Adam air, Sriwijaya air, Express air, Star air

Terminal 1C - Bouraq, Mandala airlines, Bali air, Efata Papua, Kartika air

Terminal 2D - All international carriers

Terminal 2E - Garuda Indonesia & Some international carriers

Terminal 2F - Garuda domestic, Citilink and Lion air

Terminal 3 - Indonesian overseas worker

Terminal Hadj is located in the former Indonesian airshow building (1996?)

with the current pax for about 20 millions pax 2003, CGK is already peaked, thats why now they want to build new terminal

can you imagine.....every 2 mins theres one landing/takeoff...very crowded indeed.


:cheers:

Yeah Terminal Haji is located in the former airshow building.

hmm..I'd have to observe more closely when i go to the airport:D

Here is the news on rail link connecting between Jakarta and CGK

it must be skytrain, because if its not.....theres no point with this project..(flooding, traffic jam)

Railway Link to be Built Between Jakarta, Soekarno-Hatta Airport

JAKARTA, April 8 Asia Pulse - The Transportation Ministry has given the green light for the construction of a railway track which will link Soekarno-Hatta Airport to Jakarta.
"The plan to construct the railway track has received the green light from us. Go ahead," the ministry's director general of land transportation, Iskandar Abubakar, said on the sidelines of a seminar here on Wednesday.

Once the construction of the railway track was completed, people would have many alternative transport means to reach the airport, he said.

"So far only a toll road is the best way to reach the airport. However, if the toll road is congested or submerged by flood water, the airport will mean nothing, he said.

He said the construction of the railway track would cost an estimated Rp1.2 trillion (US$139 million).

The railway track would link the airport to Poris in the western outskirt of Tangerang, and Manggarai railway station in South Jakarta.

Another great news...............

Indonesia to Boost Construction of Low-Cost Apartments

JAKARTA, April 8 Asia Pulse - The Indonesian government is planning to boost the construction oflow-cost apartment buildings in the face of dwindling land for housing complexes.
"It is impossible to continue building housing complexes which need sprawling land. We are thinking of a scenario of high-rise apartment buildings," director general for housing and resettlement, Sjarifuddin Akil, said on Wednesday.

Indonesia's state housing contractor, PT Perumnas, has built 1,600 low-cost apartment buildings, including one in Cengkareng, West Jakarta, he said, noting that the country needs 1,900 more apartment buildings.

He said the government had also developed low-cost apartment buildings in Makassar (South Sulawesi); Gresik and Surabaya (East Java); Yogyakarta and Solo (Central Java); Cimahi (West Java)and Batam (Riau).

It's good to build some high-rise low-cost apartments in Jakarta .... make the skyline views better

Yeap, its looks better afterwards

btw, is that you eric? asiaboyz?


Cheers

Hey all, a new apartment project has been announced..'Palazzo Apartments' - 'the most luxurious residences at Kemayoran'. 4 towers, overall 1400 units, each floor containign 6-8 units. so you can count how many floors (roughly) each tower will consist of. hmm let's see. 1400/4 = 350 units/tower. Now let's say each floor on average has 7 units, 350/7 = 50 floors!

Also, some insider information... there are plans to build 36 (yes, thirty six!) apartment towers in Kelapa Gading area in the 'medium term' (probably 10 years or so)

Yeap, its looks better afterwards

btw, is that you eric? asiaboyz?

senayan square refers to the whole development area encompassing Plaza Senayan, that office building, and 2 apartment towers . as u know there are still plenty of undeveloped lots....
senayan residence has an old classic look to it, consisting of 3 24 storey (i think) towers..

as to Hotel Indonesia, they're planning to demolish one 'wing' and build a shopping mall in its place.

monorail project hasn't started...haven't heard any news about it..but the MoU hasn't been signed yet. Earlier i heard that the goal is to start construction by jakarta's anniversary (22 june)...

Thanks Eric !


hey we guys should meet up for a indoskyscraper freak meeting or whatever it is ! Maybe on June, in Sdyney (Alvin would be happy to host *wink* maybe ! Eric and Mahaputra can go with me :P

GreyX, teddybear and jktcity can also go to sydney together, I know they are rich :drunk: :drunk:


Btw, Lippo Karawaci is not in Jakarta right? I saw many developments there....and theres also many skylines (30-40 floors i think)in their CBD too !


:cheers:

btw Asiaboyz, i realised that in my original list i hadn't known how many towers 'senayan residence' consist of. now I know...3 towers, 24 storeys each. so u can tell baqhtier

i saw a rendering of 'Hollywood Residence' in Kompas a couple days ago...it looks alright. it has this 'lights' top , a bit like 4 seasons :)

I think i should ask some other editors to update the data coz I reckon Bathqier don't really go to the site often ... so anythings u want to change from the list

I only have permissions to upload pics, but not adding buildings or editing to the site coz im not the editor

Anyway ... u guys got any Jakarta pics ... so i can upload it to the site

BCI Asia report volume rises above 4,000 in March (08 April 2004)

Abstract: More than 4,000 projects were reported by BCI Asia last month.


BCI Asia's research volume has risen steadily over the last two years with a record volume of 4,055 project reports published last month, up 62% on the 2,506 project reports published in March 2003.

New activity on almost US$60 billion worth of future construction projects was reported by BCI Asia researchers in March 2004. Of this value, US$24 billion was reported on projects in China, US$9 billion was in Indonesia, US$7 billion was in Malaysia, US$4 billion was in Singapore, US$3 billion was in Thailand and US$1 billion was in the Philippines.

The increase in research volume has been accompanied by general improvements in research quality and rising subscription renewal rates in China and Southeast Asia.

BCI Asia plans to open more offices in provincial cities of Southeast Asia and China over the next year. It plans to recruit and train more research staff with the aim of increasing its research volume by another 20% within a year.

The information group is studying several other initiatives to improve the efficiency of communication in the construction industry in its markets.

I found a website on *.pdf, its from Colliers International. its about Apartment business and construction list, some are already in Alvin's list.

This is the sign for office booming......................

Net occupancy of Jakarta office space hits record high


Dewi Santoso, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The net take-up of Jakarta's office property market in the first quarter of 2004 has hit its highest quarterly figure since 2000, signaling the country's improving economic condition.

Director of property consulting firm PT Procon Indah, Lini Djafar, said on Thursday that based on the company's quarterly review, the net take-up of offices located in the capital's central business district (CBD) recorded a hefty 220 percent jump to 27,500 square meters (sqm) in the first quarter of 2004, from only 8,600 sqm in the same period last year.

Lini said the stronger demand was attributed to expansions and relocations by the business sector particularly the telecommunication and mining industries.

"The significant (player) is PT Telkomsel, which just moved into the recently completed 73,000 sqm Wisma Mulia on Jl. Gatot Subroto in South Jakarta, occupying one floor with a total area of 5,000 sqm," she said.

Telkomsel is a cellular phone operator and a subsidiary of state-owned telecommunications firm PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom). Its headquarters was previously located in Graha Surya Internusa on Jl. Rasuna Said, South Jakarta.

The relocations, however, have caused the occupancy rate of offices in the CBD area to decline to 78.1 percent in the first quarter of this year, from 78.8 percent in the same period last year.

According to Lini, the increasing demand for office space reflected a further improvement in the country's economic condition.

The country's economic indicators have been improving during the past year, although critics have said this has not translated into brisker investments by the corporate sector due to lingering problems in other areas.

The country's improving economic picture is shown by the declining trend in the central bank's benchmark interest rate, benign inflation and a stronger rupiah.

Procon said during the quarter there was a slight increase in the monthly average rental rate, by 1.0 percent to Rp 108,000 ($12.56) per sqm, from Rp 107,800 in last year's first quarter period

The firm also said the net new supply of office space during the quarter totaled 65,400 sqm.

Meanwhile, on industrial estates, net take-up declined to 8.8 hectares (ha) from 12.7 ha in the same period last year, Procon said.

It added there was no new supply during the quarter as industrial land supply stayed constant at the June 2003 figure of 6,953 ha.

Net take-up of industrial estates was mostly concentrated on small to medium-size plots of below five ha, with demand coming mainly coming from the automotive, electronic and plastic manufacturers.

Procon said the price of industrial land declined by 0.8 percent to Rp 302,198 per sqm as the local currency strengthened against the dollar.

Lini said demand for industrial land would continue to remain weak ahead of the upcoming presidential elections in July and possible a second round in September.

However, she noted condominium and retail markets were likely to remain active, although supply had not grown.

As of March 2004, the total cumulative supply of condos was at 27,366 units, including two additional units from Permata Senayan. The total cumulative supply of retail space was 1.69 million units.

Mahaputra, how come you got access to indo newspaper?? aren't you in melb?

New project to add to our list: Oakwood Premier Cozmo Jakarta, a new serviced-apartment located in the Mega Kuningan district, scheduled for 2006. No news of height/number of storeys though.


from bisnis.com
Pemain serviced apartment di Indonesia pada saat ini masih belum begitu banyak, hanya Somerset dan Aston. Selain itu, satu pemain serviced apartment baru yakni Oakwood juga telah memasuki kancah bisnis apartemen di Jakarta.

Dalam website-nya, Oakwood mengklaim sebagai perusahaan apartemen ternama dari Amerika Serikat dan telah merambah kawasan di Asia Pasifik seperti di Thailand, Jepang, Korea dan Cina. Di negara-negara tersebut Oakwood memiliki tingkat hunian yang cukup tinggi yaitu di atas 90% tiap tahunnya.

Rencananya Oakwood akan membangun unit apartemennya di Mega Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan dan termasuk dalam kawasan segitiga emas kawasan bisnis di Jakarta. Pekerjaan konstruksi akan dilakukan di lahan 22.500 m2 dan akan menghasilkan sebanyak 207 unit yang terdiri dari 52 unit studio, 80 unit satu kamar, 41 unit dua kamar, 28 unit tiga kamar, dan enam penthouse.

Kawasan Mega Kuningan masih termasuk dalam segitiga emas Jakarta di mana terdapat sejumlah perusahaan papan atas dan kedutaan besar sejumlah negara-negara di dunia.

Lokasi yang strategis ini akan menunjang daya jual apartemen Oakwood kepada para calon investor dan pembeli, karena jarak akan menjadi masalah di waktu-waktu yang akan datang. Apalagi masalah kemacetan makin menjadi-jadi.

Keistimewaan yang ditawarkan Oakwood adalah konsep strata title khusus yaitu, individu dapat membeli unit apartemen Oakwood dan Oakwood akan mengelola dan menyewakannya kembali kepada tenant lain dan menjamin pengembalian sebesar 7% dalam bentuk mata uang dolar AS untuk dua tahun pertama.

Apartemen Oakwood akan selesai dibangun pada 2006 dengan fasilitas yang diberikan oleh hotel bintang lima seperti broadband services, dapur lengkap, satelit, kolam renang, lounge, parkir bawah tanah dan lain-lain. Apartemen tersebut akan bernama Oakwood Premier Cozmo Jakarta.

Oakwood akan bekerja sama dengan PT Intermestika Mutiara (pengembang) dan Knight Frank sebagai marketing sales agent dan bermitra lokal dengan PT Willson Properti Advisindo. Dengan masuknya pemain baru di bidang apartemen ini maka pasar apartemen dan properti akan makin semarak.

man.. this is great.. more and more projects in Jakarta.. wahahha
cool... all those empty spaces in the CBD area will be filled

Oakwood? It reminds me of the Oakwood mutiny by AFP soldiers rebels in Manila. Do they have link between this Oakwood in Jakarta and the one in Philippines?


Cheers

It's got to be kidding ...
Jakarta is not on the List ? !!! :wallbash:

http://www.skyscraperpage.com/cities/

And Indonesia is on 63th , with ... ONLY 12 building .... :bash:

I think Jakarta has almost 100 buildings .... no ?

that's not based on fact, its based on their database, which clearly has a lot to be desired..

Inaccurate database ...

stupid database!!

I believe you guys can actually volunteer to update that database at Skyscraperpage.com. It takes people who are interested in the respective cities to make the building count grow ;)

well guys u heard it! who wants to volunteer? mahaputra? alvin? david?.......

I wish I got a Digital Camera , ...:dunno:
I'll kick their butts :laugh:

Oakwood? It reminds me of the Oakwood mutiny by AFP soldiers rebels in Manila. Do they have link between this Oakwood in Jakarta and the one in Philippines?

Nine retail centers to enter overcrowd market


Dewi Santoso, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Nine additional retail centers are to open in Jakarta this year, creating even greater competition in the already-packed retail market here, said a property consultant.

As of March 2004, cumulative retail space in the capital totaled 1.69 million square meters (sqm). The incoming nine retail centers will add 350,000 sqm and raise the area of cumulative retail space to more than 2 million sqm by the end of this year.

Lini Djafar, a director at property consultant PT Procon Indah, said over the weekend that eight of the nine retail centers would be strata title trade centers and only one would be a shopping mall.

The planned centers include Cililitan Wholesale Market in East Jakarta, Roxy Square in West Jakarta and a shopping mall in Setiabudi, South Jakarta.

Around 30 percent of existing retail properties are international trade centers, or ITCs, and the remaining 70 percent are shopping malls that housed restaurants and entertainment facilities, Procon said.

"But ITCs are becoming more popular because they are able to break even faster than malls, as they can be sold immediately after they are constructed, while malls are available only to rent," said Lini.

In terms of occupancy rates, however, ITCs score lower at an average 70.1 percent occupancy, compared to malls at 85.4 percent.

She said the disparity was because unlike malls, many people bought space at ITCs for investment and not necessarily for operation.

"At ITCs, people buy single units and they can choose to use them, lease them or resell them. At malls, people can only rent one or more units under a specific contractual term," she explained.

High occupancy rates in turn caused the malls' monthly rent to increase by 15 percent to Rp 553,625 per square meter during the first quarter, compared to the same period last year.

According to Lini, growing demand in the retail property market was caused by the dominant force of private consumption, driven by strengthening buying power.

On average, private consumption contributes 70 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP).

Procon said in the meantime, retail properties that provide restaurants and entertainment facilities would continue to dominate the market

According to bisnis.com, Crown International Holdings Group (CIHG), are planning to build apartments in Indonesia, mainly in Jakarta and Surabaya..
They are negotiating with Jakarta government (Pemprov DKI) to build apartment projects at Mega Kuningan with a total value of Rp.150 million.

Pembangunan Monorel Akan Dimulai Saat HUT Jakarta


Jakarta, Kompas - Setelah tertunda selama beberapa bulan, pemasangan tiang pancang pembangunan konstruksi kereta rel tunggal (monorel) ditargetkan terlaksana pada Hari Ulang Tahun Ke-477 Jakarta, yang jatuh tanggal 22 Juni 2004. Hingga kini, Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta berusaha agar sarana transportasi cepat berbasis rel itu terealisasi dalam waktu 2,5 tahun. Sistem teknologi monorel itu dipercayakan kepada Hitachi, Jepang.

Asisten Pembangun Pemerintah Provinsi (Pemprov) DKI IGK Suena menjelaskan rencana itu kepada Kompas di Jakarta, Senin (26/4). Ia dimintai penjelasannya tentang kelanjutan pengembangan pola transportasi makro di Jakarta, khususnya monorel.

Pembangunan monorel itu diserahkan kepada PT Indonesia Transit Central (ITC) selaku sponsor proyek monorel yang dipercaya oleh Gubernur DKI Sutiyoso. Sejauh ini, PT ITC sudah mengadakan joint venture dengan sebuah perusahaan mitra kerjanya di Singapura.

Suena mengatakan, sejauh ini Pemprov DKI telah memercayakan PT ITC untuk mencari mitra kerja di bidang teknologi monorel. Kalau dulu penyuplai monorel berasal dari Malaysia, sekarang ini PT ITC memercayakan kepada Hitachi.

Ketika ditanya soal tertundanya pencanangan pembangunan konstruksi monorel, Suena menjelaskan, akhir pekan lalu Pemprov DKI Jakarta membicarakannya kembali bersama PT ITC. "Pembicaraan itu menyangkut aspek legal, teknis, dan finansial," ujar Suena.

Selain itu, lanjut dia, pembicaraan juga menyangkut bentuk kerja sama yang bersifat build, operation, transfer (BOT). Semua kesepakatan itu harus dibuat terlebih dulu agar di kemudian hari tidak terjadi silang pendapat.

BOT itu, antara lain, pihak investor sekaligus pengembang, dalam hal ini PT ITC dan Hitachi, membangun konstruksi, menyediakan sarana monorel, dan mengelola operasional monorel selama 30 tahun. Sesuai dengan perjanjian BOT, aset monorel itu harus diserahkan kepada Pemprov DKI setelah dioperasikan selama 30 tahun.

Tetap dua jalur

Monorel itu direncanakan dibangun dua jalur, yakni green line (jalur hijau) yang melingkar sepanjang 14,8 kilometer mulai HR Rasuna Said (Kuningan), Gatot Subroto, Senayan, Pejompongan, Karet, Dukuh Atas, lalu kembali ke Kuningan.

Untuk blue line (jalur biru) sepanjang 12,2 kilometer mulai dari Kampung Melayu, Casablanca, Karet, Tanah Abang, hingga Roxy.

Direktur Utama PT ITC Ruslan Diwirjo yang ditemui di kantornya menegaskan, pihaknya terus berusaha agar pemasangan tiang pancang pertama pembangunan monorel dapat segera dilaksanakan sesuai dengan harapan Gubernur DKI Sutiyoso.

"Selain itu, Hitachi sudah terpilih sebagai supplier teknologi monorel. Performance monorel buatan Hitachi begitu andal," ujar Ruslan.

Ia menjelaskan, Gubernur Sutiyoso sudah melihat sendiri, bagaimana monorel yang berusia 40 tahun masih begitu enak dipakai untuk perjalanan dari Tokyo ke Hanida. Kecepatannya rata-rata 80 kilometer per jam.

Kemudian, pihak Hitachi pun memberikan kesempatan kepada rombongan gubernur untuk menikmati perjalanan di Disneyland dengan menggunakan monorel tipe terbaru.

Untuk mematangkan rencana pembangunan megaproyek ini, Pemprov DKI dan PT ITC akan membicarakan kembali dalam dua hari ini. (OSA)

I know, the afternoon 3 in 1 just makes things so much harder... the 3 in 1 scheme doesnt even work well as you can hire people to ride your car and pose as passengers. There is also insufficient mass transportation to back it up. Existing mass transpo is quite unreliable (not counting Busway).

Asia Plaza is currently u/c, if im not mistaken. I have seen two cranes working on it lately. It looks quite nice, but lacks height. Should be taller!:D

Yes i have...many times. I'm still trying to find time to ride it someday though!
Because it has one lane reserved for it, there is long strip of dirt on its lane because there are no tyres that run through it....Also the pavement on bus stations are already damaged because of the weight of the buses...

btw, your pics do not work...

hehe sorry missed it =)

Plaza Asia looks alright, thought it would be nice if it was a bit taller. Its about time the city gets a new landmark office tower....(BDNI Center...fingers crossed!) But I'm sure that 75-storey tower in SCBD would be a killer !
i wonder what building is on its left? might be Sudirman Mansion..

Plaza Asia is currently 15 floors already. And will be ready for turnover by March 2004. Is plaza asia the same as Sudirman Mansion? It seems like it has two names.

no lah...plaza asia is an office building, sudirman mansion is residential/apartment!
sudirman mansion might be just behind Plaza Asia...is there another construction zone next to it, GreyX?

Yeah you are right. There are two buildings u/c in that same site, so i think one is Plaza Asia and the other is sudirman mansion. Both are around 15 storeys right now.

yeah I think they're buing built in the same complex.
it's weird how there hasn't been any information on Sudirman Mansion, except it will have 216 units and will be a less expensive apartment than the Pinnacle just across the road.

Mac

You got Ritz carlton and jakarta tower pictures yet? I cant wait to see it man!

Cheers

ps: btw where is everyone today?

cheers

Starting this year? hope so. It shouldnt get delayed like most government projects. This will make commuting easier:okay:

Its not government project though, the money is funded 100% by AP2. Although the money is funded by AP2 but theres growing concern on whos gonna manage the railway system, the government or the AP2 ? but latest report i heard, AP2 and PT KAI will make a consortium with name Angkasa Rail.


cheers.

coolll.. ehehhe skytrain..
anyway.. here's the news about the accident at the scbd suites construction site

Three arrested over crane collapse
Evi Mariani, Jakarta

Police have arrested three managers of a construction firm for criminal negligence after a crane collapsed in the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD) in South Jakarta on Monday, killing three workers and injuring three others.

"Our suspects are J, the equipment manager; BU, the site manager; and R, the supervisor (of the construction work)," Jakarta Police chief of detectives Sr. Comr. Mathius Salempang said on Thursday.

They will be charged with Article 359 of the Criminal Code for negligence causing death and face a maximum of five years jail.

Police arrested the three after questioning seven employees of the PT Pembangunan Perumahan (PP) construction company about the accident.

"The three (suspects) should have made sure their workers were wearing safety equipment, including safety ropes around their waists," Salempang said. "But they neglected this procedure."

Law No. 13/2003 on manpower rules all companies must have a health and safety system integrated into their management operation.

PT Jamsostek insurance company data shows 103,804 work-related accidents took place in 2002, and 104,774 in 2001 nationwide.

The victims had been working for the SCBD Suites development project when their crane collapsed without warning. Daniel Tusubu, Aock Sirat and Sarkam died when they fell off the crane, three others, Wagimin, Rebo and Sugiyanto were injured.

Salempang said the police investigation had so far revealed that the crane had been in good condition and was being used normally before the incident took place.

"The crane, which belongs to PP, was checked by an authority in February. The report said it worked well," he said. Regulations required such equipment to be frequently checked every six months, he added.

Earlier, SCBD Suites construction project head Tumyono said PP would compensate the families of the victims. "We will give them compensation according to the law."

A security guard claiming to work for the SCBD management company had initially requested the press not write stories about the accident.

Btw, I am still wondering, which construction the in SCBD zone is that? I mean, which project.

And the skytrain will takes 30 minutes from Airport to Grogol then goes to central station. I will inform you more when I am in jakarta, still in melbourne right now. :lol:

Properti Indonesia, Mengasah Besi yang Sedang Panas


ADA hal yang mencengangkan dalam bisnis properti di DKI Jakarta dan sekitarnya dalam setahun terakhir ini. Para pembeli apartemen dan perumahan menengah ke atas tetap bergairah tinggi menyerbu proyek-proyek properti. Tiap ada proyek baru, mereka datang dan beli! Riuh rendah urusan politik dan keamanan dalam negeri rupanya sama sekali tidak berpengaruh pada bisnis ini.

APARTEMEN The Peak, Sudirman Park, Tanjung Duren, misalnya, untuk sekadar menyebut contoh. Baru dalam tahap promosi, apartemen sudah laku 60 persen. Ketika resmi di-launching dan pekerjaan pembangunan fondasi mulai dilakukan, ruang-ruang apartemen yang laku telah mencapai 70 persen. Fenomena yang sama tampak pada The Pakubuwono Residence dan beberapa apartemen lain di Permata Hijau, Kelapa Gading, Tanjung Duren, arteri Simpruk, dan kawasan di bekas Bandara Kemayoran.

Padahal, harga apartemen itu tidak murah. Sekadar gambaran, untuk apartemen papan atas dengan luas di atas dua ratus meter persegi, harganya di atas dua miliar sampai tiga miliar rupiah. Apartemen di Da Vinci dilepas dengan harga Rp 22 miliar per unit dan tetap laris seperti pisang goreng. Unit-unit apartemen ini malah telah tandas tatkala pekerjaan fisik apartemen masih jauh dari rampung.

Kini di segi tiga emas tengah dibangun apartemen dan town house dengan harga Rp 15 miliar per unit. Seperti biasa, laku keras. Sebagian warga membeli dalam bentuk tunai keras dan tunai bertahap. Semangat para pembeli properti juga tampak pada sektor perumahan, rumah toko (ruko), rumah kantor (rukan), ITC, dan pusat perbelanjaan lain.

Di beberapa wilayah, misalnya di Pos Pengumben, Kelapa Gading, dan Patal Senayan, rumah-rumah itu telah diborong habis tatkala pekerjaan konstruksi rumah baru setengah dikerjakan. Di Pos Pengumben, seluruh unit rumah bahkan telah diborong tuntas tatkala masih dalam tahap pengurukan tanah. Pembangunan rumah baru akan selesai Juli 2005, tetapi sebagian sudah dibayar lunas sejak awal tahun 2004.

Indikasi bahwa semangat membeli rumah cukup tinggi tampak pula pada tetap kuatnya tren penjualan rumah di proyek-proyek perumahan besar, misalnya proyek perumahan Alam Sutera, Bumi Serpong Damai, Kota Wisata, Lippo Cikarang, dan beberapa perumahan di kawasan Kalideres- Daan Mogot.

Sebagai gambaran, pembangunan ruko dalam lima tahun terakhir mencapai enam juta meter persegi, dengan nilai sebesar Rp 30 triliun. Sebelum krisis ekonomi, pembangunan ruko hanya menghabiskan anggaran sebesar Rp 1,5 triliun per tahun.

Adapun kapitalisasi 25.000 unit apartemen dalam lima tahun terakhir mencapai Rp 25 triliun (5.000 unit per tahun dengan anggaran Rp 5 triliun). Sebelum krisis ekonomi, kapitalisasi pembangunan apartemen selama lima tahun hanya mencapai Rp 15 triliun.

Antusiasme yang hampir sama tampak di beberapa kota besar lain, misalnya di Surabaya, Bandung, Makassar, Batam, dan Denpasar.

"Pasar di Surabaya memang tidak sedahsyat di Jakarta, tetapi gairah pembeli di sini relatif boleh diandalkan," tutur Irene Tedja, yang membangun beberapa proyek Grup Pakuwon di Surabaya barat. Grup ini di antaranya membangun Perumahan Pakuwon Indah dan Laguna Indah, dan mendapat sambutan cukup besar dari publik. Mereka juga membangun Supermal dan Pakuwon Trade Center yang mendapat sambutan hangat publik.

Di Bandung, perkembangan bisnis properti menunjukkan sisi baru yang menarik. Selain pemain-pemain lama, terdapat juga pemain baru yang mencoba masuk berkompetisi bisnis properti di Bandung, di antaranya Grup Agung Podomoro dengan proyeknya Bandung Heritage dan City Walk di Jalan Braga. Proyek-proyek lain juga mendapat sambutan hangat dari pasar, misalnya proyek besar Kota Baru Parahyangan dan beberapa proyek di kawasan Bandung utara.

FENOMENA antusiasme pembeli tampak pula pada pusat belanja. Untuk sektor ini, gairah pembeli tetap tinggi karena para pengembang besar kreatif menghasilkan proyek- proyek atraktif di lokasi-lokasi strategis.

Catatan lainnya, para pengembang sangat memahami bahwa dua pusat belanja yang historis, yakni Glodok dan sekitarnya serta pusat perbelanjaan di kawasan Tanah Abang, masih sangat berkibar. Boleh jadi Glodok dan Tanah Abang sudah terlampau sesak dan pengap karena kelebihan beban.

Akan tetapi, justru berangkat dari sesak dan pengap itulah para pengembang melihat peluang membuka pusat perbelanjaan di kawasan lain. Trihatma Haliman dan kawan-kawan, misalnya, membangun Mangga Dua Square dan Lindeteves di Jalan Hayam Wuruk, juga di Waduk Melati Tanah Abang. Djarum membangun Wholeseller Trade Center (WTC) Mangga Dua, Pria Manaya membangun kembali Blok A Pasar Tanah Abang yang terbakar dan reot. Lalu, sekelompok pengusaha Glodok, dengan lead keluarga Karta Winata, membangun Megaglodok di bekas Bandara Kemayoran.

Seperti beberapa jenis proyek properti lainnya, respons publik rupanya cukup besar. Warga atau para pembeli properti ini ibarat raja minyak, yang selalu liat dan siap membeli apa saja.

Pria Manaya menyatakan, antusiasme membeli kios-kios yang dijual di Pasar Tanah Abang cukup besar. Ia memperkirakan, begitu proyek pasar itu selesai dikerjakan, sebagian besar kiosnya tuntas dibeli para pedagang. Dan, perdagangan di blok itu menjadi lebih riuh.

HADIRNYA proyek-proyek besar properti, terutama di Jakarta, suka tidak suka, pada gilirannya membuat ekonomi nasional lebih bergairah. Sejumlah sektor yang berhubungan dengan properti, misalnya, mulai dari genteng, semen, besi, kaca, keramik, aluminium, kayu, sampai paku dan seng, ikut berkembang karena terdorong pesatnya bisnis properti. Jutaan pos kerja menjadi terbuka karena meriahnya bisnis ini. Begitu pula dengan berkembang suburnya sektor informal di sekitar pembangunan aneka proyek properti.

Belum ada hitungan riil terbaru tentang besaran peran properti dalam perekonomian nasional beberapa kuartal terakhir. Namun, hal yang kemudian menarik adalah bisnis properti melahirkan fenomena tentang kebangkitan pemain senior Ciputra ke gelanggang elite bisnis properti. Menurut perhitungan sederhana dari proyek yang ia kembangkan, jago properti lulusan Institut Teknologi Bandung ini mengemas belasan megaproyek dengan nilai investasi mencapai sepuluh triliun rupiah. Berbagai proyeknya diluncurkan setelah grupnya melakukan konsolidasi selama enam tahun.

Ciputra di antaranya bermain di berbagai proyek perumahan, misalnya di Perumahan Citra Jakarta, Citra Surabaya, Cibubur, Medan, Pekanbaru, Manado, dan Bali. Pemain senior ini bersama keluarga dan para profesional juga bermain di lapangan lain, misalnya perhotelan, pusat perbelanjaan modern, dan perkantoran. Ciputra bersama Budiarsa Sastrawinata menjalankan proyek perumahan berskala besar di Hanoi, Vietnam.

Kendati demikian, nilai investasi Ciputra masih di bawah total investasi yang dikembangkan Trihatma Kusuma Haliman, pemimpin Grup Agung Podomoro. Menurut data yang diperoleh dari periset dan analis properti Panangian Simanungkalit, Trihatma, khusus di DKI Jakarta saja, mengerjakan proyek dengan nilai investasi Rp 12 triliun.

Proyek Trihatma dan kawan- kawan (umumnya proyek Trihatma merupakan kerja sama dengan investor lain) di antaranya adalah pusat grosir yang bakal terbesar di Asia Tenggara, Waduk Melati Tanah Abang, Pakubuwono Residence, Sudirman Park, The Peak, Gading Mediterania, Permata Mediterania, Kemayoran Mediterania, Apartemen Menteng, Tanjung Duren, dan sebagainya.

Di bawah Trihatma dan Ciputra bercokol jago lama, yakni Tan Kian dengan nilai investasi hampir Rp 10 triliun. Kemudian, terdapat sejumlah pemain besar properti yang menanam investasi antara enam dan sembilan triliun. Mereka antara lain Grup Lippo, Agung Sedayu, Duta Pertiwi, dan Jan Darmadi.

Lalu, muncul sejumlah pemain besar yang menanam investasi antara Rp 2 triliun dan Rp 5 triliun, di antaranya Herman Sudarsono, Gunarso, Grup Djarum, Yan Mogi, dan Djan Faridz-Pria Manaya.

Jika hendak mengurai lebih jauh proyek pemain besar itu, Tan Kian menggelar proyek besar, di antaranya JW Marriot, Airlangga+Ritz Carlton, dan Plaza Asia (di dekat Sudirman Tower). Tan Kian bersama Grup Salim membangun pula Sudirman Residence yang elite di Jalan Sudirman.

Sucipto Nagaria (PT Summarecon Agung Tbk) menjadi salah satu pemain properti yang besar di Kelapa Gading. Nagaria di antaranya membangun sejumlah perumahan di kawasan elite Kelapa Gading, Kelapa Gading Mal 1-3, Gading Park View, dan terakhir Gading Batavia Food Promenade.

Grup Djarum di antaranya membangun Wholeseller Trade Center (WTC) Mangga Dua, Pulogadung Trade Center, Grand Hotel Indonesia.

Grup Lippo di antaranya membangun kompleks perumahan, sentra hiburan, dan perkantoran Lippo Cikarang. Ada pula perumahan plus perkantoran Lippo Karawaci dan beberapa apartemen dengan tinggi di atas 50 lantai.

Jan Darmadi berkibar dengan sentra perkantoran Setia Budi, Mega Kebon Jeruk, apartemen Setiabudi, dan sebagainya. Djan Faridz-Pria Manaya dengan proyek Tanah Abang, pusat grosir Pakubuwono Square, serta beberapa pusat perbelanjaan.

APA yang dapat disampaikan dari bergairahnya dunia properti ini? Tidak lain harapan kepada para pemain di bisnis ini, baik pemain besar, menengah, maupun pemain kecil, untuk ekstra berhati-hati dalam berekspansi. Tidak ada salahnya seluruh proyek yang dikemas melalui uji kelayakan, uji/survei pasar, dan ketahanan bangunan. Catatan lain, modal kerja mesti memenuhi kriteria minimal.

Tidak ada pula salahnya jika para pemain properti mempraktikkan jalan konservatif dalam berbisnis. Misalnya melakukan uji anggaran yang ketat, uji pasar guna menghindari nonperforming loan.

Para pembeli proyek-proyek properti pun perlu ekstra hati-hati dalam memborong berbagai proyek. Ada kesan, sejumlah pemborong/pembeli proyek properti adalah para spekulan yang mempunyai modal besar. Spekulan kaya yang mungkin bingung hendak diapakan duitnya membeli apartemen, rumah, dan ITC untuk investasi. Semua atau sebagian akan dijual kembali ketika harga properti itu merambat naik. Ini bisa saja dilakukan, tetapi tetap saja berisiko.

Pengusaha Trihatma Kusuma Haliman tidak mengabaikan kemungkinan buruk dari demikian gegap gempitanya pembangunan proyek properti. Dalam percakapan dengan Trihatma Haliman dua pekan lalu, Kompas menanyakan kebijakan Agung Podomoro yang tampak amat ekspansif. Trihatma terkesan mempunyai energi dan ekuitas yang luar biasa sehingga dalam tempo setahun mengerjakan belasan megaproyek, dan dengan nilai investasi yang bukan kepalang, lebih kurang Rp 12 triliun.

"Apakah ekspansi megaproyek itu tidak terlampau berisiko?"

Trihatma menyatakan, ia banyak menerima saran dari kawan-kawannya untuk ekstra hati-hati. Dan, ia memenuhi saran itu dengan cara bekerja sangat prudent. "Kami cukup konservatif mengemas proyek," katanya.

Langkah lain, sebut Trihatma, semua proyek melalui uji kelayakan berkali-kali, melalui tes dan pembedahan dari tim ahli. Begitu matang, barulah kami berangkat.

"Kalau bisa membuat perumpamaan, mengerjakan banyak proyek berskala besar sama dengan mengasah besi yang sedang panas. Nah, mumpung besi di perapian sedang panas-panasnya, saya manfaatkan sepenuhnya, untuk membentuknya. Kalau besi itu sudah dingin, hendak dibentuk seperti apa juga susah," ucap Trihatma Haliman. (ABUN SANDA)

Bisnis Properti Mengejar "Hantu" Politik 2004 (06-05-2004)

MASIH segar dalam ingatan kita, pada akhir tahun 2003 banyak kalangan yang mempertanyakan, apakah pelaksanaan Pemilu 2004 akan berdampak negatif terhadap pertumbuhan bisnis properti? Maklum, tahun itu bisnis properti melaju pesat di luar perkiraan, nilai kapitalisasi pasarnya melonjak 78 persen, dari Rp 25,79 triliun pada tahun 2002, menjadi Rp 45,90 triliun pada tahun 2003.

Panangian Simanungkalit
Sejak tahun 2002, riset Pusat Studi Properti Indonesia telah mengungkapkan tidak akan ada gangguan berarti yang dapat menghambat laju bisnis properti pada tahun 2004. Bahkan nilai kapitalisasi bisnis properti akan terus meningkat meski tidak sepesat tahun lalu, dengan pertumbuhan sekitar 12 persen menjadi Rp 51,2 triliun (Kompas, Februari 2004). Kini keraguan berbagai kalangan akan pertumbuhan bisnis properti di Indonesia itu mulai memudar seiring dengan mulusnya pelaksanaan pemilu legislatif 5 April lalu.

Memang, banyak prediksi yang meleset belakangan ini. Soal suku bunga Sertifikat Bank Indonesia (SBI), misalnya. Ketika SBI bertengger pada posisi 8,49 persen pada Desember 2003, banyak kalangan menduga, suku bunga SBI akan stagnan di level itu. Kenyataannya, hingga tulisan ini diturunkan, setelah pemilu legislatif dan gambaran konfigurasi perolehan suara mulai membayang, suku bunga SBI secara perlahan terus turun hingga menjadi 7,33 persen. Begitu juga dengan inflasi yang semula diduga meningkat menjadi 6 persen akibat lonjakan jumlah uang beredar, nyatanya inflasi year on year bulan Maret 2004 hanya 5,5 persen.

Di sisi lain, rupiah yang diprediksikan akan melemah hingga mendekati Rp 9.000 per dollar AS, hingga kini masih bertengger di kisaran Rp 8.600 per dollar AS. Demikian pula pertumbuhan ekonomi yang diperkirakan akan stagnan di angka 4 persen, nyatanya produk domestik bruto (PDB) kuartal I tumbuh 4,8 persen. Sektor properti pun tetap melaju. Hanya sehari setelah pelaksanaan pemilu, pada tanggal 6 April, proyek apartemen Hollywood Residence, di Jalan Gatot Soebroto, Jakarta Selatan, diluncurkan pengembangnya.

Apa arti semua ini? Jelas bahwa persepsi positif di kalangan pengembang dan konsumen yang terbangun sejak tahun 2002-ketika sebagian besar proyek-proyek properti itu dikucurkan ke pasar-telah menafikan kemungkinan munculnya dampak negatif peristiwa politik tahun 2004 terhadap bisnis properti. Hal ini terjadi karena kini masyarakat menyambut pemilu dengan sikap lebih dewasa.

Selain Hollywood Residence, bulan April ini pasar akan diguyur pasokan properti baru lainnya, seperti Sudirman Residence, Jalan Soedirman, Jakarta Pusat-yang digarap Tan Kian bersama Grup Salim; ’Setiabudi Residence’ yang dikembangkan PT Jakarta Setiabudi International, di kawasan Kuningan; pembangunan shopping mall dan pusat perdagangan (trade center) di lokasi Hotel Indonesia dan Hotel Wisata oleh Grup Djarum dan pembangunan pusat grosir Tanah Abang.

Para pengembang kini menutup mata terhadap kemungkinan munculnya dampak negatif pemilu terhadap sektor properti. Bahkan sebaliknya, mereka berlomba-lomba meluncurkan proyek-proyek barunya karena tidak ingin kehilangan momentum merebut peluang bisnis. Bukan cuma tidak ingin kehilangan momentum, mereka bahkan berani mencuri momen di sela-sela pemilu untuk meluncurkan proyeknya. Tentu saja hal itu dilakukan dengan penuh perhitungan. Jika mereka tidak yakin pemilu akan berjalan secara aman, mereka tidak akan berani membangun proyek besar dan mewah. Jika pemilu diprediksikan akan "ribut", Sudirman Residence tidak akan meluncurkan proyek town houses mewahnya, yang satu unit harganya sekitar Rp 15 miliar. Maklum, untuk meluncurkan sebuah proyek baru, perlu persiapan waktu, tenaga, dan dana yang tidak sedikit.

Hal yang menarik, perkembangan bisnis properti pada tahun 2004 akan lebih banyak didominasi oleh peluncuran proyek-proyek apartemen dan town houses. Hal ini berbeda dengan peluncuran proyek properti pada tahun 2001, yang didominasi oleh perkembangan rumah toko (ruko), lalu disusul perkembangan pesat dalam peluncuran proyek trade center sepanjang 2002-2003. Adapun pada tahun 2003 dan tahun 2004, trennya bergeser pada pengembangan proyek-proyek apartemen dan town houses.

Pergeseran orientasi pengembang itu bisa dipahami jika kita menyimak perkembangan tingkat suku bunga perbankan, sebagaimana tercermin dari suku bunga SBI. Ketika SBI masih di atas 13 persen, para pengembang hanya berani membangun ruko. Lalu, ketika suku bunga SBI turun pada level 11 persen, pembangunan trade center mulai digenjot, dan ketika suku bunga SBI terus menukik hingga di bawah 10 persen, para pengembang ramai-ramai meluncurkan proyek-proyek resedensial (perumahan dan apartemen) dalam skala besar.

Tampaknya, begitu pelaksanaan pemilu legislatif 5 April lalu berjalan lancar, pertumbuhan bisnis properti tidak bisa dibendung lagi, akan semakin bergairah, sebagaimana tampak dari peluncuran proyek-proyek apartemen dan town houses di atas.

HAL yang menarik dalam perkembangan bisnis properti pascakrisis adalah munculnya pemain-pemain baru, yang langsung menggebrak pasar properti di lokasi-lokasi strategis, terutama di segi tiga emas Jakarta, seperti Grup Gapura Prima yang dikomandani oleh Gunarso, Grup Agung Podomoro yang dinakodai Trihatma K Haliman, Grup Duta Putra yang dipimpin Herman Sudarsono, Tan Kian (pemilik Hotel JW Marriott), dan Sugianto Kusuma dari Grup Arta Graha.

Ketika para pemain lama masih sibuk melakukan restrukturisasi dan konsolidasi bisnisnya, para pemain baru melakukan gebrakan cukup mencengangkan. Dengan persiapan yang matang, ditunjang modal (ekuitas) sendiri yang besar, mereka masuk ke pasar lewat proyek-proyek skala yang makin besar dan unik, baik dilihat dari jumlah unit yang dibangun maupun dari ukuran serta kualitas bangunannya. Mereka berani masuk ke pasar pada saat pertumbuhan ekonomi baru beranjak sekitar 3 persen. Artinya, ketika perekonomian kita baru saja "beranjak siuman" dan bangkit dari keterpurukan akibat krisis ekonomi yang mendera pada tahun 1998.

Mari kita simak pertumbuhan bisnis properti pascakrisis. Di subsektor pusat perbelanjaan, jumlah luas lantai pusat perbelanjaan modern yang dibangun sejak tahun 1975 hingga tahun 2000 di seluruh Indonesia tidak lebih dari 3,2 juta meter persegi, dengan nilai kapitalisasi sebesar Rp 46 triliun. Masing-masing 2,1 juta meter persegi berada di Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang, dan Bekasi (Jabotabek) dan di luar Jabotabek 1,1 juta meter persegi. Adapun luas lantai pusat perbelanjaan yang dibangun pemain-pemain baru selama periode 2001-2005 akan mencapai 5,2 juta meter persegi, dengan nilai kapitalisasi Rp 90 triliun, yaitu 2,9 juta meter persegi di Jabotabek dan 2,3 juta meter persegi di luar Jabotabek. Artinya, suplai pusat perbelanjaan selama 5 tahun belakangan ini hampir dua kali lipat dibandingkan dengan suplai selama 25 tahun sebelum masa krisis.

Yang menarik, pembangunan pusat perbelanjaan modern itu tidak lagi terkonsentrasi di Jabotabek, tetapi telah menyebar ke berbagai daerah. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa otonomi daerah membawa dampak positif terhadap penyebaran pusat-pusat perbelanjaan. Gaya hidup kosmopolitan Jakarta mulai merambah ke daerah-daerah. Hal lain yang patut dicatat adalah luas pusat perbelanjaan sebelumnya pada umumnya hanya sekitar 10.000-15.000 meter persegi, yang paling luas adalah Mal Pondok Indah seluas 80.000 meter persegi, sekarang pembangunan pusat perbelanjaan itu sudah menembus angka 200.000 meter persegi, seperti Mal Artha Gading di Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara, yang luasnya 225.000 meter persegi. Selain lebih besar, kualitas bangunannya juga lebih mewah dan megah.

Demikian pula halnya di subsektor ruko. Pembangunan ruko selama lima tahun terakhir setelah masa krisis tidak kurang dari 6 juta meter persegi, dengan kapitalisasi senilai Rp 25 triliun. Artinya, nilai pembangunan ruko setiap tahun pascakrisis rata-rata Rp 5 triliun per tahun. Bandingkan dengan nilai kapitalisasi ruko sebelum krisis, yang setiap tahunnya tidak lebih dari Rp 1,5 triliun.

Mengapa demikian, karena pembangunan ruko tidak lagi mengikuti pola lama, dibangun di sepanjang jalan arteri. Pembangunan ruko belakangan ini telah merasuk hingga ke kawasan permukiman dengan desain yang kompak dan berfungsi sebagai pusat aktivitas komersial bagi kawasan sekitar permukiman itu. Hal ini bisa dilihat di Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD City), Tangerang, dan Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara. Bahkan, pembangunan ruko kini menjadi bagian integral dari pembangunan trade center dan apartemen, sebagaimana proyek Serpong Town Squares yang dikembangkan Grup Gapura Prima. Artinya, para pengembang yang aktif pascakrisis bukan hanya punya energi ekspansi yang besar, melainkan juga penuh inovasi. Produk-produk yang dikembangkan semakin beragam dan berkualitas.

Lain lagi dengan perkembangan di subsektor apartemen. Jumlah unit apartemen yang dibangun sebelum krisis tidak lebih dari 25.000 unit dengan nilai kapitalisasi Rp 15 triliun. Itu dimulai oleh para pengembang senior yang dimulai oleh Sjukur Pudjiadi (Grup Djayakarta) pada tahun 1980-an, Ciputra, Grup Lippo, Grup Bakrie, dan Grup Mulia pada tahun 1990-an, atau 1.500 unit per tahun. Setelah masa krisis, selama periode 2000-2005, para pemain baru, seperti Grup Agung Podomoro dan Grup Gapura Prima, membangun 25.000 unit apartemen, atau 5.000 unit apartemen per tahun dengan kapitalisasi senilai Rp 25 triliun.

Selain jumlah unitnya yang membanjiri pasar sangat besar, inovasi desain dan kualitas apartemen yang dibangun pun sangat beragam. Harganya bergerak mulai dari ratusan juta hingga puluhan miliar rupiah per unit. Bagi yang berkantong tipis bisa membidik apartemen seharga Rp 160 jutaan per unit seperti Puri Garden Apartemen (Jakarta Barat). Kaum berduit bisa memilih Apartemen Da Vinci (Jakarta Pusat) yang harga per unitnya Rp 22 miliar-termasuk furniture berkelas. Yang menarik, apartemen-apartemen super mewah itu tetap saja ditubruk para konsumen. Oleh karena itu, harga-harga apartemen luks saat ini rata-rata sudah di atas Rp 1 miliar per unit, seperti The Bellagio Mansion (Mega Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan) yang dikembangkan Grup Gapura Prima, harganya Rp 1,9-Rp 15 miliar per unit; Pakubuwono Residence (Jakarta Selatan) yang dibangun Grup Agung Podomoro, harga per unitnya berkisar Rp 2,1-Rp 3,9 miliar; Apartemen Airlangga (Mega Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan) harganya berkisar Rp 8-Rp 16 miliar per unit.

BANJIR pasokan apartemen belakangan ini merupakan gejala menarik. Selain sebagai upaya menangkap peluang bisnis, pembangunan apartemen secara massal itu juga bisa dipandang sebagai upaya para pengembang untuk "memvertikalkan" Jakarta. Para pengembang tampaknya terinspirasi dari kota-kota dunia, seperti London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Hongkong, dan Singapura. Mereka yakin, cepat atau lambat megapolitan Jakarta akan mengikuti tren kota-kota tersebut. Karena lahan di pusat kota sudah sangat terbatas, alternatif pembangunan yang ditempuh adalah membangun gedung-gedung pencakar langit.

Fenomena ini agak berbeda dengan di luar negeri. Sebab, di negara-negara lain, inisiatif membangun gedung-gedung jangkung untuk permukiman biasanya datang dari pemerintah, yaitu sebagai upaya untuk mewujudkan kehidupan kota yang aman, nyaman, dan efisien. Di Jakarta, peran pemerintah daerah untuk memvertikalkan kotanya hampir tidak kelihatan. Upaya pemerintah dalam penataan bangunan hanya sebatas membangun rumah-rumah susun untuk kalangan menengah bawah, itu pun terkesan setengah hati.

Para pengembanglah yang punya inisiatif membangun apartemen sebanyak 25.000 sebelum masa krisis dan 25.000 unit lagi pascakrisis. Padahal, jika kita melihat tingkat hunian apartemen yang sudah terbangun, sekitar 50 persen masih kosong meski sudah terjual. Dengan tambahan 25.000 unit apartemen baru, kekhawatiran banyak kalangan akan kosongnya apartemen bukanlah hal yang berlebihan.

Baru belakangan ini mulai tumbuh kebiasaan tinggal di apartemen, terutama setelah banjir besar melanda Jakarta tahun 2000, yang ikut meredam perumahan mewah, seperti Kelapa Gading dan Pluit. Para penghuni apartemen lainnya adalah kalangan artis dan kaum profesional muda, yang enggan menghuni rumah di pinggiran Jakarta karena problem kemacetan lalu lintas yang kian akut.

Meski kebiasaan tinggal di apartemen mulai tumbuh, pasokan 25.000 apartemen baru hingga tahun 2005 tetap saja merisaukan sebagian kalangan berkenaan dengan kemungkinan terjadinya oversupply unit apartemen. Bagi Pusat Studi Properti Indonesia, yang lebih penting sebenarnya bukan soal oversupply atau tidak, melainkan bagaimana pendanaan pembangunan apartemen itu. Dalam hal ini, berbeda dengan pembiayaan pembangunan apartemen sebelum krisis yang 90 persen mengandalkan dana bank, pembangunan apartemen pascakrisis lebih mengandalkan dana sendiri. Karena itu, jika oversupply memang menjadi kenyataan, dan apartemen yang digelontorkan ke pasar tidak bisa diserap oleh pasar, tidak akan mengguncang sistem moneter kita karena dana bank "nyangkut" dalam pembangunan apartemen itu.

MESKI pembangunan proyek-proyek properti baru belakangan ini lebih didominasi oleh para pemain baru, bukan berarti para pemain lama "tidur lelap". Setelah restrukturisasi dan konsolidasi bisnisnya selesai, para pemain lama pun mulai sibuk melakukan ekspansi, atau setidaknya mempersiapkan ekspansi baru. Sebut saja Grup Ciputra. Perusahaan pengembang yang dipimpin Begawan Properti ini membangun perumahan 100 ha di Manado (Sulawesi Utara), membangun mal di Pekanbaru (Riau), dan aktif mengembangkan cluster-cluster baru di perumahan CitraRaya, Surabaya. Kebangkitan Ciputra patut dicatat karena dari penjualan unit-unit rumah di CitraRaya saja, tahun lalu Grup Ciputra meraih Rp 650 miliar dan dua bulan pertama tahun ini, omzetnya sudah mencapai Rp 200 miliar. Karena itu, bisa dipastikan energi Grup Ciputra untuk ekspansi akan cukup besar di masa mendatang.

Pemain lama lain yang juga melakukan ekspansi ke luar Jawa adalah Grup Lippo, yang membenamkan investasinya di Makassar dengan mengembangkan perumahan Tanjung Bunga di atas lahan seluas 1.000 hektar. Di sana Lippo juga membangun Global Trade Center, yang menurut rencana, jika seluruhnya rampung, luas lantainya mencapai 400.000 persegi. Adapun PT Jakarta Setiabudi Internasional, pengembang properti yang dipimpin Jan Darmadi, sedang ancang-ancang untuk membangun superblok di Mega Kuningan, Jakarta Selatan, dengan investasi sekitar Rp 2,5 triliun.

Fenomena ekspansi bisnis properti yang dilakukan para pemain baru maupun lama itu makin mengukuhkan terjadinya decoupling (pemisahan) antara fenomena bisnis (properti) dan fenomena politik. Padahal, di masa silam, bisnis properti selalu terbebani pengaruh buruk peristiwa-peristiwa politik yang terjadi. Pada tahun 1986, setahun sebelum pemilu 1987, sektor properti terpuruk akibat kebijakan pemerintah mendevaluasi rupiah terhadap dollar AS. Demikian pula setahun sebelum Pemilu 1992, bisnis properti loyo diterpa kebijakan uang ketat (tight money policy) yang diterapkan pemerintah tahun 1991.

Para pemain bisnis properti sekarang, terutama pascakrisis, tidak lagi memandang peristiwa politik sebagai "hantu" yang menakutkan. Bahkan sebaliknya, mereka kini seakan-akan mengejar-ngejar hantu politik dengan gelora ekspansi bisnisnya. Mereka berani "mencuri" momentum di sela-sela peristiwa politik besar untuk meluncurkan proyek-proyek barunya.

Buying an apartment can be wise investment option
Rudijanto, Contributor, Jakarta

The market for apartments with strata title here looks rosy this year as more Indonesians seek an alternative investment due to currently low interest rates offered by banks. However, if not properly managed, the buoyancy of this overconfident segment may ruin expectations.

Since the continued decline in the interest rate of Bank Indonesia (BI) certificates, depositing money in the country's banks has become the last option for affluent Indonesians.

With the current 4 percent interest rate for deposits, which is further reduced by 10 percent tax on the interest received, one may end up losing money in the long run should inflation reach more than 3 percent. Inflation here is estimated around double the figure or higher.

Facing such unattractive interest rates, many affluent Indonesians have taken their money from banks to invest in other, more lucrative investments. Hence, strata-titled apartments have turned into a promising option.

Data from Jakarta-based property consultant PT Procon Indah (Procon) shows that 30 percent of apartments purchased are for investment, while the majority -- some 48 percent -- bought the apartments as a primary residence, and 13 percent as second homes.

Colliers International's residential manager Aleviery Akbar said that though quite a number of people buy apartments for use as their own residence, many will not hesitate to sell if the price is right. Customers in this category are indeed savvy investors with a shrewd business sense.

Akbar said that while bank interest rates had been speedily declining thus making deposits close to unthinkable, the country's property sector, apartments included, had, to the contrary, become a gold mine since the boom last year.

"They estimate that if they invest in property, they will enjoy another boom in the next five years since the property sector here booms every five years. That is the cycle in the property market. The smooth legislative election held recently also encourages them to invest in this sector," said Akbar.

Chairman of the Indonesian Real Estate Broker Association (AREBI) Tirta Setiawan also concurred when he said that investing in apartments was a wise move. He was quoted by Indoproperty.com as saying that, currently, investing in residential property offered a larger profit margin in a short time.

Apartments for investment, Setiawan suggested, were those with reasonable prices and built by developers with a good track record. A good location, for example, in the center of the city was also another prerequisite.

In addition to an increase in the resale price in the not-too-distant future, buyers of strata-titled apartments in certain strategic locations may also reap still larger profits. For instance, apartment owners in the Casablanca area will benefit from the Jakarta administration's plan to construct a monorail project that will serve the area.

"It is only natural that the price of land and property around the monorail project will go up. It will be a significant increase, as the available land is limited," said PT Century21 Casablanca's president director Tonny Eddy, as quoted by Sinar Harapan daily.

Procon's research director Lini Djafar added that on top of a handsome profit and capital gain, owners of strata-titled apartments have another source of income: rent from tenants, if their unoccupied apartments are put up for lease.

With bank interest rates remaining low and possibly declining still further, such projected gains in purchasing apartments in certain strategic locations may be hard to resist for anyone, like affluent Indonesians who seek investment opportunities. This partly explains the reason for optimism in this sector.

Procon said that this year's first quarter (Q1) sales of strata-title apartments had recorded a significant increase from the same period of last year, from 184 units to 246 units. This further justifies the buoyant atmosphere in this sector.

Though this Q1 figure is dwarfed by the Q4 figure of last year, which totaled 681 units, Djafar believes this year's sales will perform well since sales normally reach their peak in Q4.

"Why sales in Q4 normally increase is because developers tend to be more flexible in their pricing strategy as most have to meet established sales targets," said Djafar.

In spite of a number of political and economic uncertainties, developers seem to be optimistic, as reflected in ongoing construction. Among the numerous new projects is the low-rise apartment Patra Maisonette, which commences construction this month. The 53-unit apartment is scheduled to enter the market in June 2005.

Another apartment project in the central business district (CBD) is Capital Residence, which will start construction in June. Scheduled to be completed in 2006, this 328-unit apartment will add more supply to the market.

Still in the CBD area is the 300-unit Setiabudi Residence, which will commence construction in September. Located close to CBD's Rasuna Said area, the apartments will enliven the market in September 2006.

Other apartment projects that are under construction or will commence development in the near future include ITC Kuningan Apartment, Puri Garden Apartment, Mediterania Garden Residence, Tanjung Duren Apartment, Gading Mediterania Residence, Apartemen Laguna Pluit and Marina Ancol Apartment.

While the activities show optimism on the part of developers, who seem to be anticipating another boom in the strata-titled apartment market, Akbar warns that an excess, or oversupply, on the other hand may turn out to be a "property crash" that could ruin the apartment market.

"The developers are currently continuing to build because they have the money or maybe they are afraid of missing an opportunity if they do not construct now, but, somehow, if there is no control, say from the government, the ensuing oversupply will be damaging to them and owners as well," said Akbar.

At the current rate of construction, he explained, supply already exceeded demand, and a price war had started. In the long run the initial attractiveness of the apartment business might lose its luster.

"In Singapore, for example, the price of apartments has already dropped by 35 percent due to oversupply. Given that situation, developers there have to be satisfied if they can reach breakeven point. That is why the Singapore government is now finally restricting or limiting new construction," said Akbar.

The imbalance between supply and demand, according to Akbar, will force prices further down even within this year. Buyers have also become more selective as there is an abundance of choice on the market.

"Customers are now extremely sensitive to even the slightest price difference. Recently, one apartment building sold more than another -- although both were at the same location -- due to a small price difference," said Djafar.

This situation, where price has become a crucial factor, should be regarded as an early warning for those who purchase strata-titled apartments for purely investment reasons, as they cannot expect huge gains this year should prices remain flat.

Not only is such an oversupply detrimental to individual investors: Obviously, it can also inflict a severe financial loss on developers eager to enter this market. Surprisingly, however, to date, interest in entering this seemingly lucrative segment remains at an all-time high.

Akbar also said that several foreign investors had approached Colliers to seek advice on this market. He told them to opt for a wait-and-see attitude temporarily rather than immediately jump on the bandwagon.

"We presented our data on current prices, which have tended to remain flat, and some of them withdrew upon seeing the prices," said Akbar.

Strata-titled apartments may seem like one of the wiser investment alternatives, for both individual buyers and developers. However, should massive construction in huge numbers go unsupervised, especially in terms of a balanced supply and demand, investment in this sector could be disastrous.

cooll.. more and more projects.. = skyline bigger and nicer.. ehehhe

Yeah, good news, but i hope the project will concentrate on CBD or one particular spot where highrise building are there. So the skyscrapers wont spread all across the city. We can take example of KL, MM, Singapore and Bangkok, where the skylines are looking nice and organized.

Honestly, the problem now why we cant detailed how many skyscrapers in jakarta is because of the problem above i mentioned.


cheers

yeah I agree david.. if the skyscrapers in Jakarta are more concentrated.. it'll look damn nice.. ehhehe

I actually think it's a good thing...cos eventually the skyline will be massive like Hongkong or Bangkok - I guess its better in the long term =)
Eventually, there will be two major clusters of skyscrapers in the city - Golden Triangle (Sudirman/Thamrin - SCBD - Mega Kuningan - Gatot Subroto) and Kemayoran.

Btw, it'll take a while to fill up though...Panangian said that there's enough land in Jakarta's golden triangle for development until 2060!!

Golden triangle is very massive ! :runaway:

Btw, for long term, yes but just in case we got hit by another financial crisis again in 20 years (touch wood) then we already have some blocks of skyscrapers nicely developed and good looking too.

I dont know Alvin, maybe my view is toward short term development only :lol:
or maybe we should learned from 1998 financial crisis when they were massive projects plan and proposed but it was delayed until 2002-2004 they resume some of the construction.

just expect the unexpected, i guess.

my 2 cents :lol:

cheers

it's a pity that the economic/political crisis happened during the boom of constructions...if the crisis had occured say 2 years later, a lot of those building would have not been cancelled...but then again, we wouldn't be getting all those new projects (ritz, the peak etc) that we now have...it would be a whole different story :cheers:

heya David-80, could you get some info on Sudirman Residence since you have a friend who works for Tan Kian? :)

How about the apartment building behind the mall ??

The apartment building should be finished too, they're constructed together i believe. As to the pictures, the first three are under construction i believe, the next two are likely just 'concept' designs while the last two I"m not sure...

mediterania is almost done,(u/c now), and laguna pluit apartment is done.. I saw it before and didnt know what it was before.. sudirman park is under construction..
I dunno about the rest.. ehehe

it's actually a new shopping mall in Kuningan CBD.

This has been completed for a while now. I've been there many times to buy DVDs and my dad bought his cellphone there.

Wow, the new Indomobil showroom looks nice. I guess they will renovate their old building to become like that. The Volvo showroom is right next to it. There is also a new Nissan showroom next to these also. All these brands are Indomobil franchises.

The halim urban proposal and superblock proposals are awesome!:cool:

News about pedestrian (In Indonesian)
basically it's saying about the pedestrian project along thamrin and sudirman.. they are going to extend the pedestrian to 6m, and they are going to start at Thamrin. it will commence end of this month

Pedestrian di Thamrin Dibangun Akhir Mei


Jakarta, Sinar Harapan
Pelaksanaan pembangunan pedestrian di sepanjang Jalan MH Thamrin dipastikan dilakukan akhir Mei 2004. Saat ini tinggal menyediakan lokasi bedeng buat para pekerja beristirahat. Hal itu diungkap Kepala Dinas Pertamanan Jakarta, Sarwo Handayani ketika dihubungi SH, Jumat (7/5).

Dia mengatakan, pihaknya kini sedang memproses surat kepada Bank Jakarta meminta lahan untuk pembuatan bedeng pekerja karena ada lahan cukup luas di sekitar Jalan MH Thamrin yang bisa digunakan untuk keperluan itu.
”Lahan itu milik Pemda Jakarta. Saya yakin tidak masalah untuk mendapatkan lahan itu karena sebagai BUMD DKI Jakarta, Bank Jakarta tentu tidak keberatan bila lahan dipinjam sementara buat bedeng,’’ ujarnya.
Seperti diketahui, pembangunan pedestrian di sepanjang Jalan MH Thamrin Jakarta Pusat merupakan bagian dari upaya Pemda Jakarta memberikan pelayanan yang baik kepada masyarakat.
Seperti pernah dikemukakan Sarwo Handayani, Pemda Jakarta sedang berupaya memberikan pelayanan transportasi yang baik. Saat ini, sudah dimulai dengan proyek bus Transjakarta koridor I, Blok M-Kota. Proyek ini akan diikuti dengan penyediaan fasilitas jalan atau pedestrian yang baik.
Dengan demikian, bukan hanya penumpang bus TransJakarta yang merasa nyaman dan aman dalam bepergian tapi para pejalan kaki pun dapat menikmati perjalanannya. Untuk itu, Pemda Jakarta akan memulai dengan kawasan Jalan MH Thamrin dari rencana di sepanjang Jalan MH Thamrin- Jalan Jenderal Sudirman.
Sedianya, di kawasan Jalan MH Thamrin ini, bukan hanya trotoarnya diperlebar sekitar tiga meter sampai lima meter tapi di sepanjang areal ini pun akan dilengkapi dengan pepohonan dan taman sehingga menjadi kawasan yang nyaman dan menarik serta memberikan kesejukan bagi pejalan kaki.
Walaupun pendestrian direncanakan sekitar tiga meter sampai lima meter, dalam pelaksanaan akan disesuai dengan kondisi dan letak bangunan.
Paling penting adalah jalan lebar dan nyaman bagi pejalan kaki di sepanjang kawasan bisnis ini. Bahkan di kawasan ini pun, rencananya tidak ada lagi pembatas atau pagar antara gedung yang satu dengan yang lain agar terlihat lapang dan luas.
Mengenai masalah keamanan di lapangan, Pemda Jakarta sudah mendapat jaminan Polda Metro Jaya. Hal itu terungkap dalam pertemuan pemilik bangunan sepanjang Jalan MH Thamrin dan Gubernur Jakarta Sutiyoso belum lama di Balai Kota Jakarta yang juga dihadiri Kapolda Metro Jaya Irjen Makbul Padmanegara.

Besok, Penandatanganan Kerjasama Pembangunan Monorel




BeritaJakarta.com Penandatanganan perjanjian kontrak kerjasama pembangunan monorel di Jakarta dilakukan Jumat besok (14/5). Kepastian penandatanganan ini disampaikan Direktur PT Indonesia Transit Central (ITC) Sukmawati Syukur usai bertemu Gubernur DKI Sutiyoso, kemarin, untuk membicarakan dimulainya pembangunan monorel di Jakarta.

Sukmawati menjelaskan, dalam pembicaraan itu, keduanya (Pemprop DKI-PT ITC, Red) sudah sepakat menandatangani perjanjian kontrak kerja sama, Jumat (14/5). Tujuan dibuatnya perjanjian agar kedua pihak mengetahui hak dan kewajiban masing-masing.

"Setelah itu barulah dibicarakan jadwal pekerjaan proyek kereta api ringan itu sampai selesai. Begitu juga mengenai anggaran pembangunan sebagai kewajiban investor yang tergabung dalam konsorsium perusahaan asing dan dari dalam negeri itu kita bicarakan Jumat nanti," kata Sukmawati kepada wartawan di Balaikota, Kamis (12/5).

Penandatanganan MoU pembangunan monorail, jelas Sukmawati meliputi dua konsorsium antara pihak Indonesia dengan pihak investor monorel yakni Asian Coorporate yang terdiri dari Singapura, Hongkong, Thailand, dan Malaysia, serta sejumlah pengusaha dalam negeri. Proyek ini direncanakan akan dimulai akhir Mei 2004 dan diperkirakan operasional pada 2006.

"Kalau wartawan ingin tahu penjelasan secara rinci tentang pembangunan monorel, tunggu Jumat (besok) ya," ujar Sukmawati sambil memastikan bahwa perencanaan proyek ini sudah matang, baik dari penyusunan jadwal pekerjaan maupun anggaran.

Sebagaimana diberitakan sebelumnya, karena swasta asal Malaysia, MTrans Holdings Sdn Bhd tidak memperlihatkan komitmen yang jelas tentang kelanjutan proyek monorel, akhirnya Pemprop DKI Jakarta akan bekerjasama dengan perusahaan Jepang, Hitachi.


Gubernur Sutiyoso sendiri telah meyakini keandalan teknologi monorel perusahaan negeri Sakura itu. Ia mengatakan, kualitas monorel Hitachi tidak dapat diragukan. Sejarah pembangunan monorel di Tokyo oleh Hitachi memperlihatkan kompetensi perusahaan tersebut.


"Kualitas Hitachi tidak bisa diragukan lagi. Mereka telah 40 tahun beroperasi sejak tahun 1964. Selama 40 tahun beroperasi belum pernah ada kegagalan beroperasi maupun kecelakaan fatal. Record mereka yang dibanggakan yaitu tidak pernah ada satu korban jiwa selama pengoperasian. Sampai sekarang Tokyo monorel masih beroperasi dengan sempurna," kata Gubernur Sutiyoso beberapa waktu lalu (2/3). Paparan yang disampaikan di hadapan pers ini merupakan hasil peninjauan di Jepang atas undangan perusahaan Hitachi dan Gubernur Tokyo beberapa pekan lalu.


Pemprop DKI menginginkan proyek monorel itu bisa segera dibangun tahun ini dan mulai beroperasi akhir tahun 2006.
Meski memuji teknologi Hitachi, Sutiyoso mengatakan, ia tetap menyerahkan kepada Indonesia Transit Central (ITC), siapa yang akan dipilih menjadi mitra atau investor dalam proyek pembangunan monorel di Jakarta.


Selanjutnya, Pemprop DKI mengajukan sejumlah syarat mengenai investor yang harus dipilih. Syarat-syarat itu antara lain, proyek harus bersifat investasi murni atau non-recours (tidak ada jaminan utang atau jaminan lain dari pemerintah), teknologi yang diajukan harus teknologi andal (well-proven), ITC dan mitra asing harus bisa menjamin secara teknis dan finansial bahwa proyek itu selesai dalam 2,5 tahun.


Untuk diketahui, ITC merupakan sebuah konsorsium perusahaan-perusahaan konstruksi dalam negeri sebagai mitra lokal Pemprop DKI dalam membangun monorel yang menghubungkan kawasan segi tiga emas (blue line) sepanjang 14,8 kilometer dan Kampung Melayu-Roxy (green line) sepanjang 12,2 kilometer.

"Kualitas Hitachi tidak bisa diragukan lagi. Mereka telah 40 tahun beroperasi sejak tahun 1964. Selama 40 tahun beroperasi belum pernah ada kegagalan beroperasi maupun kecelakaan fatal. Record mereka yang dibanggakan yaitu tidak pernah ada satu korban jiwa selama pengoperasian. Sampai sekarang Tokyo monorel masih beroperasi dengan sempurna," kata Gubernur Sutiyoso beberapa waktu lalu (2/3).

Mister Governoor , They can utilize it since 1964 and It is still reliable , becoz they are good in one word " MAINTENANCE".
BUT.... your people even doesn't know how to spell M-A-I-N-T-E-N-A-N-C-E
:bash:
Ha ha ha .... Sorry doesn't mean to be rude ... but face it .. it is a reality in Indonesia.

D u know the jabotabek heavy-train ... which we got from Japan ?
40 years of operation in Japan , they are still reliable ....
4 years of operation in Indonesia .... They are dead .... and become BESI TUA ... ( what d u say in English ? )

hehehe I totally agree with u macgyver
look at the roads, the railtracks, the old buildings in Indonesia.. they're in a horrible state.. lack of maintenance..
hopefully they will provide good maintenance to busway, monorail, and subway in the future.. ehehe

Pedestrian in jakarta would be nightmare as long as the heavy polution is there...whos gonna walk in the middle of traffic congestion with smoke..polution and not to mention...the hot temperature!! :D

cheers

yeah I think it's the hot temperature PLUS the humidity PLUS the pollution.
i really think that those issues gotta be solved first...i.e. provide good mass rapid transport system, reduce number of cars on the road, get rid of those old polluting buses/trucks..and plant more trees ..then widening sidewalks..and THEN will people start walking more..

great construction pics. I only could see one building rising. Are both Ritz/Residence towers underconstruction or is only one of them underconstruction?

Demi Mal, GOR Pluit Akan Digusur


Penjaringan, Warta Kota

Kirim Teman | Print Artikel




Demi sebuah mal dan kondominium, gedung Gelanggang Olah Raga (GOR) Sasana Krida Pluit, Penjaringan, bakal digusur. Tempat olahraga masyarakat itu nantinya bakal dipindah ke Kapuk Kamal. Bukan GOR saja yang tergusur, tetangganya yaitu Pabrik PT Bimoli juga bakal tergusur.

"Informasi akan dipindah sudah saya dengar sekitar empat bulan lalu. Saya sih hanya dengar-dengar saja. Kalau kapan dipindahnya, saya belum begitu tahu pasti. Kalau pun jadi dipindah, mau nggak mau saya tetap bekerja sebagai pengawas GOR," ujar Muchtar (40), penjaga GOR saat ditemui Minggu (16/5) siang.

Pengelolaan GOR Sasana Krida Pluit terbagi dua. Sasana Krida I dikelola oleh pihak Kecamatan Penjaringan, sedangkan Sasana Krida II dikelola oleh Strategis Bisnis Unit PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro). Fasilitas kedua sasana tidak jauh berbeda. Selain menyewakan tempat berolahraga semisal bulu tangkis, bola voli dan bola basket, GOR yang berdiri tahun 1982 ini juga disewakan untuk kegiatan lainnya semisal pesta pernikahan. GOR ini pernah menjadi berita ketika dijadikan ajang eksekusi penembakan Presdir PT Asaba Boedyharto Angsono oleh orang suruhan Gunawan, mantan menatu Boedy, 19 Juli 2003.

Siang itu, di dalam Sasana Krida, terlihat beberapa pengunjung sedang bermain bulu tangkis. Ketika ditanya, seorang pemain yang tidak mau menyebutkan namanya, mengatakan, dia belum tahu soal rencana pemindahan GOR Pluit tersebut. Selain dari wilayah Jakarta Utara, pengunjung juga ada dari wilayah lain. Untuk Sasana Krida I, sewa tarif berolahraga untuk setiap satu jamnya sebesar Rp 25.000.

Sebuah sumber menyebutkan, Sasana Krida II sudah dilelang oleh PT Jakarta Propertindo. Selanjutnya, di bekas GOR itu nantinya akan dibangun mal, pertokoan dan kondominium.

Dari pantauan Warta Kota, tanah kosong yang lokasinya berada di belakang GOR, ternyata termasuk bagian dari proyek besar itu. Di salah satu umbul-umbul yang terpasang di pinggiran tanah kosong itu, terpampang nama Central Bisnis Distrik (CBD) Pluit, Kawasan Bisnis Terpadu. CBD disebut-sebut sebagai pengembang ruko, kondominium dan mal.

Ketika dikonfirmasi tentang hal itu, Suryadi, Manajer Humas Jakpro, semalam mengatakan, dia sama sekali belum mengetahui latar belakang tentang bakal dipindahnya GOR Pluit. "Mungkin ini dulu yang baru bisa saya katakan. Saya nggak tahu sama sekali soal rencana pemindahan GOR Pluit," ujarnya. (ded)
