Perumnas to build more houses

JAKARTA (JP): The state-owned housing company Perum Perumnas
plans to build more than 10,973 new houses and apartments in 15
locations in Greater Jakarta this year, an official says.

Company spokesman Azis Dahlan said over the weekend that the
apartment complexes in Cengkareng and Kemayoran in West and
Central Jakarta are part of the plan.

The Cengkareng complex has 768 apartments and the Kemayoran
has 363 apartments, Antara reported.

Azis said the other 13 projects will be spread throughout the
city. East Jakarta will get two in Pulo Gebang and Malaka Asri,
Tangerang three in Karawaci, Cisoka and Suradita, and Bekasi four
in Rawa Lumbu, Bojong Menteng, Setia Mekar and Rawa Tembaga. The
remaining four housing projects will be in Depok, Tegal Gundil,
Parung Panjang and Jonggol, all in Bogor.

The largest houses will be 21 square-meters, Azis said.

The most serious problem faced by Perum Perumnas is
appropriating land. "Therefore building apartments is the most
suitable," he said.

Low-cost apartments will likely be built near industrial
estates for factory workers. (sur)
