Ciputra builds new complex

JAKARTA (JP): A subsidiary of Ciputra Group is developing a Rp
800 billion (US$307 million) housing complex just outside
Jakarta, designed to blend in with the still largely untouched
surrounding nature.

The huge 1,200-hectare complex, called Citra Indah, is located
off the main road linking Cibubur in East Jakarta and Jonggol-
Cianjur in West Java.

It is being developed by PT Kharismakusuma Pujalestari.

The complex will be equipped with floral and fruit parks as
well as other amenities for a town, such as office buildings,
shopping centers, hospitals and schools.

The project appears to have strong official endorsement, seen
with the presence of three cabinet ministers at the inauguration
on Sunday. They were State Minister of Public Housing Akbar
Tandjung, Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Azwar Anas,
and State Minister of Population Haryono Suyono. West Java
Governor Nuriana was also present.

Kharismakusuma Pujalestari president Harun Hayadi said the
first phase of the project had been completed with 955 houses.

The complex will comply with the government requirement to
build six low-cost houses for every three middle-cost houses and
one luxury house, Harun said.

Minister Azwar inaugurated on Sunday a kindergarten and
primary school at the complex which is managed by the well-known
Al-Azhar educational institute. Minister Hayono inaugurated the
Happy Family Statue while Minister Akbar presented land
certificates to owners of the new homes. (12)
