Atlas Padel Building Permanently Sealed; Owner Ordered to Demolish Voluntarily
JAKARTA – The Jakarta Provincial Government has ordered the demolition of the Atlas Padel sports facility located on Jalan Puri Indah Block Q, South Kembangan, West Jakarta, after it was permanently sealed for being built without authorisation on public green open space (RTH).
West Jakarta Mayor Iin Mutmainnah emphasised that following the permanent sealing, the land must be restored to its function as green open space and cannot be used for any further construction.
“After the permanent seal, the land must be restored to its RTH function. The building must be demolished in accordance with Provincial Regulation No. 31 of 2022,” said Iin on Tuesday (10 March 2026).
“Since this building has already been erected, the RTH land must be restored to its original function. No further construction is permitted. The land must become pure green space again, complete with the trees that were previously there,” added Vera.
Vera confirmed that because the land is green open space owned by the provincial government, the Atlas Padel owner could never have obtained a building permit.
“Under the Detailed Spatial Planning (RDTR), the land’s sub-zone is designated as RTH. A building permit for a padel facility cannot be issued on top of it,” said Vera.
Under Government Regulation No. 16 of 2021 implementing Law No. 28 of 2002 on Buildings, the City Building and Housing Office (CKTRP) has requested that the owner demolish the building voluntarily.
“Normally, the timeframe might be around two to three months. However, since padel sports is currently receiving attention and many facilities are violating regulations, we hope the process can be accelerated,” added Vera.
Additionally, the Jakarta CKTRP will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of padel facility permits, particularly in West Jakarta, including buildings that have obtained building permits but have not yet obtained Certificates of Functional Adequacy (SLF).
The Atlas Padel facility was sealed on Monday (9 March 2026) for lacking authorisation and being located on public green space. Kompas.com observations showed that the building can no longer operate.
Access around the building is blocked by yellow lines marked “DCKTRP Line”, and a large banner from the West Jakarta Sub-Department of Building and Housing has been installed announcing the sealing.
“This building is subject to permanent cessation (sealing) for violating Law No. 6 of 2021, Government Regulation No. 6 of 2021, and/or Government Regulation No. 21 of 2021,” the banner stated.
Iin explained that the sealing is permanent because previous warning letters (the first, second, and third notices) were ignored by the owner.
“This step was followed by a permanent cessation order, which the owner also ignored. Therefore, permanent sealing was carried out,” said Iin.
