"This is an effort to encourage our policy, which my first hope is that residential housing in TOD centers will at least allocate a minimum of 20 percent of TOD occupancy (for MBR),” Director General of Housing at the PUPR Ministry Iwan Suprijanto said at a TOD seminar in Jakarta on Thursday.
Suprijanto informed that his directorate wants housing in TOD areas, especially premium areas, to be made available at low prices for people who really intend to occupy or directly need such housing.
This is to ensure there is full TOD occupancy and public transportation near the TOD area can optimally serve the community, he said.
“So, the government must have an affirmative and more impartial policy. So, we will try 20 percent first, and then we will gradually increase it," he disclosed.
Earlier, PT Adhi Commuter Properti Tbk (ADCP), a mass transportation-based property developer in Indonesia, said it was ready to accelerate TOD-based residential development in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi (Jabodebek) areas.
This is in line with the development of the Jabodebek Light Rapid Transit (LRT) project Phase 1, which is planned to become commercially operational this year.
Apart from that, it would be a positive catalyst for the company, considering that the TOD concept housing developed by ADCP is integrated with the LRT Station.
Therefore, ADCP is increasingly determined to accelerate the development of residential areas based on the TOD concept, so that people can experience the benefits of living in dwellings with ease of access to mobilization.
