History

Bintaro Jaya started being developed in 1979 by PT Jaya Real Property Tbk, a subsidiary of PT Pembangunan Jaya whose majority shares are owned by the DKI Jakarta Regional Government. For 25 years, Jaya Property has been known as one of the capital's real estate companies. PT Pembangunan Jaya carries out the construction and management of housing and property projects, including Graha Raya, Puri Jaya, Plaza Bintaro Jaya, Plaza Slipi Jaya, and the Senen Trade Center block IV–V. Bintaro Jaya was the first to introduce the concept of a "garden city" in Indonesia. 26 years later, Bintaro Jaya uses the slogan "The Professional's City" to reflect its marketing strategy as the residence of choice for Jakarta's intellectuals and professionals. It houses a variety of facilities to support the physical and social environment as designed to meet the residents' needs for comfortable housing.
