After visiting education facilities at civil servant housing on Wednesday, VP Gibran said Sepaku Market is an economic hub.
“The development of Sepaku Market is special because it takes place amid community life. Its existence is expected to directly benefit local residents,” he said.
The vice president said preparations for the Sepaku Market refurbishment required more time to complete, to ensure the development uses a humane approach, respects residents’ living space, and sustains traders’ daily activities without disruption.
The Sepaku Market refurbishment is part of the Sepaku Area work package. The work includes two market buildings, area improvements, and a 1.5-kilometer Sepaku corridor developed through participatory community consultations with local resident involvement.
Commitment-making officer for the market development, Roni Rosaji, explained that the market will be comprehensively reorganized, including improvements to the building façade using synthetic rattan materials, signage arrangement, and the development of pedestrian areas.
He said Sepaku Market has 135 stalls and kiosks, consisting of wet and dry sections, and is equipped with supporting facilities such as management offices, a health room, a meeting room, a temporary waste disposal site, and a parking area.
In addition to inspecting Sepaku Market, VP Gibran also reviewed the market in the Nusantara Capital’s Central Government Core Area (KIPP IKN), which is expected to drive local economic activity and provide proper business space for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The KIPP Market was built on a 3,774-square-meter plot of land with a total building area of 3,959 square meters and consists of three floors.
The market is equipped with 22 wet stalls, 33 dry stalls, 11 kiosks, six food court units, as well as management offices and a meeting room.
