EMA offers quality services at competitive rates
In an increasingly tough and competitive Greater Jakarta apartment market, people can still find the best choice, at Executive Menteng Apartments (EMA).
Located on Jl. Pegangsaan Barat in the Central Jakarta suburb of Menteng, EMA has four towers: Palem, Tanjung, Rasamala and Cendana. The first two towers have a 99.2 percent occupancy rate, while Rasamala and Cendana are at 45 percent. EMA is a development of PT Saranapratama Artamandiri, an affiliate of the Agung Podomoro group.
EMA's marketing manager, Liliana Muljono, said that the current occupancy rates at EMA were proof that the apartments have become a major competitor to existing apartments in the capital. The occupancy rates represent the combined figures of leased and individually owned apartments.
EMA is a success due to its stunning European design and the international services that it offers. These services include an indoor golf simulator and Japanese designed nine-hole putting green, a fully equipped fitness center, spacious poolside BBQ area, all-weather swimming pool and tennis courts, a Jacuzzi and a children's playground. Also available are a beauty salon, function rooms and fully equipped business center, satellite TV and underground parking. But the most important services that EMA offers are 24-hour security and a school shuttle service to any school in the greater Jakarta area.
"As you can see, service and security for our tenants is paramount to us," said Liliana. "We stake our reputation on it. In choosing an apartment, whether short or long term, serviced or not, everyone needs to consider location, facilities, price, the surrounding area and the developer. Executive Menteng Apartments has it all.
"EMA is affordable. We are sure that the market still exists despite the ongoing economic crisis and the potential oversupply of upper-class apartments."
EMA is certainly value for money. There are one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for long- and short-term lease, furnished and unfurnished. The penthouses are a palatial three or four bedrooms, ranging from 213 square meters to 529 square meters (presidential).
All the apartments are European designed with teak and marble floors, large fully equipped kitchens and the finest quality bathroom fixtures. Each apartment has its own direct telephone line and one PABX extension, multisplit air-conditioning and central electric water-heater outlets in the kitchen and bathrooms.
As an affordable luxury apartment complex, EMA's atmosphere is excellent. Sunlight spills into living rooms through large balcony windows. You can wander along the local boulevards lined with palm trees and palatial residences whose impeccable gardens brim over with Frangipani and Magnolia trees. And take a step back into colonial times at Jalan Surabaya, with its famous antique markets, and the many cultural attractions that are right at the door step. Not to mention the shopping centers and the Jakarta Art Center.
EMA is developed and managed by a property expert. Every tenant can expect excellent service and attention from the building management.
John Wegge, an American who has recently moved into EMA, said that he was very impressed the first time he viewed the apartments.
"I came here personally and compared it with other apartments. EMA is beautiful. The bedroom, the quality of the furnishings, the service and the view, particularly at night. I've been living here for two months now and I am very satisfied."
He added that EMA's location is perfect for business and other day-to-day activities, including shopping and recreational.
EMA is offering up to 50 percent discount until Nov. 15, 1998. The quality and service will not be compromised but EMA realizes that due to the economic turmoil, budgets have been cut (especially in housing) and they are doing their best to accommodate this in its competitive rates.
