Jakarta, INTI – The global property industry is facing growing challenges related to efficiency, sustainability, and construction speed in urban areas. Labor shortages and increasing environmental demands are pushing industry players to seek innovative solutions. In response to these needs, Australian property developer of Indonesian origin, Iwan Sunito, has announced the development of a robot-based hotel in the Macquarie Park area of Sydney. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 and is targeted for completion within 12 months. This initiative represents a strategic move to introduce an efficient and sustainable model for modern hotel development.
Robotic Technology for Hotel Construction
The hotel, developed through One Global Capital, will be built using Robotic Volumetric Modular Construction technology. This method utilizes robots to assemble building modules with high precision, accelerating the construction process while enhancing accuracy.
Each hotel module is manufactured in a factory and later assembled on-site, similar to stacking large building blocks. This approach is expected to reduce construction waste, minimize environmental impact, and improve overall building quality.
A New Standard for Urban Development
According to Iwan Sunito, the use of robot-based construction technology forms the foundation of One Global Capital’s global modular hotel platform. The innovation is aimed at setting a new benchmark for high-performance and sustainable urban development.
“We are setting a new standard for sustainable, high-performance urban development,” Iwan Sunito said in a written statement on Wednesday, December 10.
The technology applied in the hotel’s construction serves as a key indicator of area performance, aligning with global trends toward smart and environmentally friendly construction.
Strategic Expansion Including Indonesia
Iwan revealed that Australia is not the only expansion target. After securing two other major projects in Australia, Indonesia has emerged as the next potential market. His country of birth is projected to become a new stage for the implementation of the modern construction technologies he is introducing.
Over the past two years, One Global Capital has also strengthened its portfolio across several of Sydney’s fastest-growing corridors, including Green Square, Chatswood, Eastlakes, and Macquarie Park. These locations were selected based on careful analysis of their long-term value growth potential.
Transformation into a Global Investment Platform
One Global Capital’s transformation has gained further momentum following the acquisition of an AFSL Wholesale license for the property sector. This license enables the company to manage capital from high-net-worth individuals and large institutions, effectively transforming it from a property developer into an international real estate fund management and investment platform.
“Our philosophy is simple: when investors grow, we grow together with them,” said Samuel Sunito, Director of Fund at One Global Capital. He also announced plans to launch a High Impact Conference on a quarterly basis to strengthen the capabilities and insights of global investors.
Australia Remains a Magnet for Property Investment
Director of Office Services at Savills Indonesia, Ricky Tarore, noted that Australia particularly Sydney continues to be a favored investment destination. Political stability, a strong legal system, and regulatory transparency provide a high level of protection for investors.
In addition, asset diversification in Australian dollars is seen as offering additional protection for Indonesian investors. However, he emphasized the importance of selecting projects with strategic locations, strong demand potential, and solid investment governance.
Conclusion
The development of a robot-based modular hotel in Sydney by Iwan Sunito marks a new chapter in global property innovation. By combining smart construction technology, international expansion strategies, and a strong investment platform, the project not only opens new opportunities in Australia but also positions Indonesia as a potential key player in the future of modern property development worldwide.
