A road at Pantai Indah Kapuk

Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) is a gated community, located in parts of Penjaringan, North Jakarta and Kapuk, West Jakarta, Indonesia.[1] It is one of most prestigious residential areas in Jakarta along with Menteng, Pondok Indah, and Puri Indah.[1]

PIK is often the most sought residential area for wealthy Chinese-Indonesians, featuring large mansions in exclusive gated clusters. The area never floods, despite being in close proximity with flood-prone districts. Although most of PIK area are housing estates, there are businesses on the main roads such as Pantai Indah Utara, Pantai Indah Selatan, and Marina Indah. The Cordoba and Crown Golf shophouses on the Marina Indah Road are famous[2] for restaurants and cafes. PIK can be accessed from Jakarta Airport Toll Road and Jakarta Outer Ring Road West.

History[]

PIK was historically part of the particuliere landerij or private domain of Kapoek. The estate was owned by Tan Eng Goan, 1st Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia (1802 — 1872), and was later purchased by his successor (no relation), the 2nd Majoor Tan Tjoen Tiat (1816 — 1880).[3]

In the early 20th century, it became part of the landholdings of N.V. Landbouw Maatschappij Tan Tiang Po, a landholding company belonging to Majoor Tan Eng Goan's grandson-inlaw, Luitenant der Chinezen Tan Tiang Po and of the latter's son, Tan Liok Tiauw, Landheeren (or landlords) of Batoe-Tjepper.[4][5]

In 1988, the property developer Ciputra, backed by Indonesia's wealthiest man at the time Sudono Salim, acquired the area and developed today's housing estate of Pantai Indah Kapuk, earmarked as a wealthy suburb of gated communities.[6]

Controversy[]

The Pantai Indah Kapuk project in Jakarta, was criticized in interviews with various officials for its potentially negative environmental impact and incompatibility with existing regulations. According to a newspaper report, this 1,160-hectare complex has long sparked controversy as it was built in 1989 on an area formerly covered by mangrove forest and swamps. The construction of the project was approved by then minister of forestry Hasjrul Harahap and then governor Wiyogo Atmodarminto. Several NGOs are planning to file a class action suit against the developer for causing floods in the nearby Penjaringan area. They accused the developer of violating the city’s land-use plan for building the complex on a protected green belt area. According to the city’s master land-use plan for 1985 and 2005, the location was still designated a green belt area. But it was changed into a residential area in 1995. (Developer challenges public 2002).[7]
