Southeast Asia Building – May-June 2018

(Jacob Rumans) #1

L


ocated as the centerpiece of the
Sudirman Central Business District
(SCBD) in the heart of the business
and financial district of Jakarta, the design
of Signature Tower Jakarta sets a high
standard of luxury development and
accommodation. It is a well-integrated
tower and mixed-use development, with
state-of-the-art architectural design that
is efficient, functional and iconic.

Cutting edge standards
As the design has evolved, the small
building footprint and appropriate floor
areas help to minimise and optimise the
use of land and precious building materials.
In return, the efficient floor plans help to
maximise usable rental space and therefore
the owner’s return on investment.
The design of the development
considers issues related to the environment
and sustainable design, such as striving to
reduce the amount of energy consumed
(through thoughtful selection of materials
and building systems) and maximise the
use of recycled materials.

“The sheer size of the building means it will have an impact


on the city skyline and the immediate surrounding area. From


a planning viewpoint, the development is in the heart of the


CBD – it is intended to be the heart of the city – not only during


business hours but after – and is designed to have pedestrian


access from mass transit – to counter the stifling traffic jams


that currently exist. The city is a modern metropolis, and design


of the building is such that it will lead but also


reflect the energy and style of the city. This is


accomplished through the form of the tower


and use of building materials.”

Signature Tower Jakarta is an elegant
and contextual design that is intended to
become an iconic representation of Jakarta
and raise the level of quality for corporate
developments in the region and the world.

Design approach
With a combined site area measuring
50,674.0 square metres, and an allowable
development area more than 461,000
square metres, the 111-storey development
will include:


  • An Observatory,

  • A 6-Star Luxury Hotel,

  • International Class A Office Space,

  • A Conference Center and Banquet
    Facilities, and

  • A Luxury Retail Mall.


Signature Tower Jakarta is organised by
situating the Observatory and Hotel spaces
on the highest floors, supported by the
office floors and resting on the conference
and retail podium levels.
