Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 State-owned housing company Perum Perumnas said\nthe revitalisation project for the Klender flats in East Jakarta has\nentered the feasibility study stage to ensure that development meets\nresidents\u2019 needs and market demand.<\/p>\n
Perumnas Acting President Director Imelda Alini Pohan said the\ncompany was taking a cautious approach to planning, including by\nassessing market potential and people\u2019s housing preferences.<\/p>\n
\u201cProviding good housing services must also be accompanied by an\nunderstanding of market absorption and what kind of homes people\nprefer,\u201d Imelda told ANTARA in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
She added that Perumnas would conduct market research to determine a\nhousing mix suited to the needs of Klender residents. The findings would\nalso inform how many towers are built.<\/p>\n
The revitalisation is expected to transform the area into 12\u201314\ntowers. The final number will depend on the feasibility study, including\nthe area\u2019s density, potential demand and the ideal size of homes for\nresidents.<\/p>\n
The project will cover a site of about 10 hectares. The flats, built\nin the 1980s, have deteriorated physically, prompting plans for\nrevitalisation with a modern, taller vertical-housing concept.<\/p>\n
Perumnas signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Agung\nPodomoro Land (APL) several months ago to carry out the project.<\/p>\n
The first phase is planned to include replacement homes for existing\nresidents as well as affordable, non-subsidised commercial housing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe condition for revitalisation is that we replace residents\u2019 old\nhomes free of charge and with homes of the same size. This involves a\npublic service obligation (PSO); we have submitted a proposal for state\ncapital participation in 2026 to cover the replacement homes alone. We\nwill handle the rest commercially with our partner, sharing the proceeds\nand selling the units together,\u201d Imelda said.<\/p>\n
Perumnas is targeting the Klender revitalisation as one of its\nquick-win projects. The project is also being monitored by the Ministry\nof National Development Planning\/National Development Planning Agency\n(Bappenas) and the State-Owned Enterprises Agency (BP BUMN).<\/p>\n
Imelda said Perumnas was working to complete the feasibility study\nand would continue coordinating with the Jakarta provincial government\nto explain the revitalisation plan to residents.<\/p>\n
She said community support was a prerequisite for the project, with\nat least 60 per cent of residents required to approve the plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also involved a sociologist to explain to the community why\nthe area needs to be rebuilt: to improve the city\u2019s appearance and, more\nimportantly, residents\u2019 quality of life, so they can live more safely\nand not in homes that are no longer fit for purpose,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Perumnas previously revitalised the Sukaramai flats in Medan. That\nproject served as a model for transforming an ageing residential area\ninto vertical housing that is safer, more comfortable and modern, with a\nbetter-quality environment for residents.<\/p>\n
Alongside Klender, Perumnas is also planning to revitalise the Kebon\nKacang and Tanah Abang flats in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
For Kebon Kacang, Imelda said Perumnas had signed a non-disclosure\nagreement (NDA) with a foreign company and planned to proceed with a\ncooperation agreement (PKS) in the near future.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/perumnas-klender-flats-revitalisation-enters-feasibility-study-stage-1791903273", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
