They would also help reduce pressure on Jakarta while creating entirely new centres of economic activity across the country.
LUX Property Group is already in discussions with representatives of the Indonesian Government regarding our proposal to develop a convention centre and eco-resort within the Nusantara region.
We believe the knowledge gained through projects such as Nusantara and our own master-planned developments can contribute meaningfully to Indonesia’s broader vision for balanced national growth.
Indonesia is forecast by many economists to become one of the world’s largest economies over coming decades.
The nation possesses abundant natural resources, a young and growing population, strategic maritime trade routes, and one of the strongest long-term growth stories in Asia.
Now is the time to think beyond simply building more buildings.
It is time to build better cities.
Cities designed not only for today’s population, but for generations yet to come.
Indonesia has already shown the world what is possible with Nusantara.
The next chapter could see a network of modern, sustainable, master-planned cities transforming the nation while preserving the unique character of places like Bali that made Indonesia famous in the first place.
LUX Property Group stands ready to contribute its experience, investment and long-term commitment to help make that vision a reality.
