Ciputra builds new town

JAKARTA (JP): A 600-hectare town located 20 minutes from the
Cibubur toll gate in the direction of Jonggol, will be officiated
in August, complete with mini-zoo and camping grounds.

A botanical garden is also planned for the town named
CitraIndah Kota Nuansa Alam in the Bogor regency. The project is
being built by PT Kharismakusuma Pujalestari of the Ciputra
Group.

Harun Hajadi, the group's director, said 110 homes and plots
have been sold so far since the project was marketed in June.

Harun claimed yesterday that the 25,000 homes will be based on
the 1:3:6 ratio ruled by the government, meaning that for every
luxury home developers must build three medium-scale homes and
six low-cost homes.

The homes of the latter group are priced from Rp 38 million,
Harun said.

He said the Rp 600 billion project will not include weekend
retreats but houses "for those who will really live there" as the
site is 40 minutes from the Semanggi clover bridge.

"The site is also in line with plans of the regency to develop
Jonggol as a new area," Harun said. (anr)
