Executive Menteng Apartments' residents are able to occupy two worlds at once; the hectic world of business and city living, and the peaceful life of lush gardens and quiet surroundings,

The testimonials of residents Alvin Hirshen and Richard Webb attest to this. Hirshen says: "The apartment is in a perfect location in terms of view and accessibility." While Webb has this to say: "It is close to the place where I work, and to the Central Business District. I have been made to feel very much at home."
