Intiland Tops Off SQ Rés Apartment
Jakarta (18/06) – Property developer PT Intiland Development Tbk (Intiland; DILD) successfully completed the construction phase of South Quarter Residence (SQ Rés) apartments, located in South Jakarta. This stage was marked by the procession of topping off the apartment tower by Intiland’s directors and representatives from building contractors and consultants on Saturday (18/6).
Permadi Indra Yoga, Intiland’s Director of Business Development, explained that the topping off was an important stage in the construction of SQ Rés apartments. The Company will then enter the stage of completing the building façade, mechanical and electrical, as well as the interior work.
“We are happy that the construction of SQ Rés went smoothly, notwithstanding the difficult conditions posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We are always committed to completing it on time and trying to meet the expectations of buyers,” Permadi Indra Yoga told the media after the topping off procession.
The Company considers the topping off to be an important momentum to boost the interest among prospective consumers to purchase property products, the demand for which had fallen during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company has seen how the property market has been gradually improving this year, in line with the recovery of market interest in buying and investing in property.
Kundarso, Project Leader of SQ Rés, explained that one of the success factors in SQ Rés development process was the mutual commitment among contractors, consultants, and all parties involved to the development project. PT Total Bangun Persada Tbk (Total;TOTL) as the main contractor, along with its sub-contractors, managed to build a fruitful synergy with the Company to complete the entire construction process.
“Currently, the construction of tower D has entered the stage of building facade and interior completion. We project that the handover of units to buyers can be carried out starting in the second quarter of next year,” said Kundarso.
The Company is optimistic that the process of completing the development of SQ Rés will run smoothly, and the handover of units to the buyers can be performed on time. The development phase will now focus on completing the façade, mechanical and electrical works, as well as the existing facilities.
Sustainable Development of the Integrated Area
SQ Rés apartments is one of Intiland’s newest development projects in its mixed-use & high-rise segment portfolio. Initiated for development in 2019, the construction of SQ Rés included two 23-floor towers occupying an area of 1.3 hectares. SQ Rés is part of the second phase of development of the 7.1-hectare South Quarter integrated office area ,which will continue to expand to cover more than 13 hectares.
The first phase of South Quarter development includes the development of three office towers and SQ Dome as a supporting retail facility, built on an area of 4.4 hectares. Boasting the concept of sustainable development, this year South Quarter was named the world’s best office building after winning the World Gold Winner award at the international property competition FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2022 held in Paris, France on 8 June 2022.
South Quarter was developed using carefully-measured standards issued by GBCI (Green Building Council Indonesia) and EDGE Certification developed by the IFC (International Finance Corporation). The main focus of GBCI is the use of sustainable green principles in the design, construction and operation of buildings. Meanwhile, EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) focuses on credible and scalable solutions for green buildings. Numerous awards given to South Quarter demonstrated the performance in the aspects of architectural design, energy saving, environment, sustainable development, and governance.
SQ Rés was designed by Tom Wright, the world-renowned architect from the architectural firm WKK Architect in London, England. This apartment was developed as a residential facility with the theme “Oasis in the City” which offers a modern and comfortable resort-style residential concept and is equipped with all the facilities for socializing, relaxing, and gathering with friends or family.
Transit-Oriented Development
Besides being built with a superior development concept, the location of SQ Rés is highly strategic in the TB Simatupang business corridor, South Jakarta. This location is equipped with various transportation access facilities, such as being close to Fatmawati and Lebak Bulus Mass Rapid Transportation (MRT) stations, as well as the JORR toll road to Soekarno-Hatta airport.
“SQ Rés was developed as part of the Lebak Bulus Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept. The TOD area has a high value because it prioritizes aspects of connectivity, accessibility, and walkability that answer the needs of the urban community,” said Permadi Indra Yoga.
According to him, residential units that are close to public transportation facilities have higher value and marketability compared to residential units that are far from public transportation facilities. The location of SQ Rés with the nearest MRT station is only about 500 meters and a shuttle bus service is provided.
Project Leader SQ Rés Kundarso explained that SQ Rés offers many aspects of the comfort of living in a central business district. Besides being close to various necessities, SQ Rés is also equipped with various facilities, such as private cinema, spa & beauty salon, water pavilion, jogging track, indoor & outdoor playground, and a tropical swimming pool.
Then as part of regional development, SQ Rés is equipped with an elevated walkway that connects commercial, retail, lifestyle, and residential facilities. This concept combines natural and modern elements to create a comfortable residential area and provide a walking experience for residents to enjoy all the facilities on offer.
