Jakarta, INTI - The Indonesian property sector is witnessing a transformative moment with the arrival of Opus Park, a groundbreaking superblock development that merges Japanese technological excellence with sustainable urban living in Sentul’s lush landscape.
This visionary project - formed through a strategic alliance between Gobel Group (Indonesia), Sumitomo Corporation, Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp (Japan), and Sentul City - goes beyond conventional luxury housing by creating a modern integrated ecosystem.
In addition to the use of state-of-the-art Japanese technology, Opus Park is also strategically located adjacent to AEON Mall Sentul, IKEA, international schools, medical facilities, and golf courses, as well as modern infrastructure to be built such as the Bogor LRT and West Sentul South-Karawang Toll Road, Opus Park is the pinnacle of urban convenience. The presence of Opus Park is considered to be an answer to the growing needs of urban Indonesians for seamless connectivity, premium facilities, and a better quality of life.
A Partnership That Transcends Borders
Rachmat Gobel, President of the Indonesia–Japan Friendship Association (PPIJ), highlighted the project’s role in strengthening bilateral ties. “Opus Park represents the powerful synergy between our nations,” he remarked. “It serves as a living bridge—where architectural excellence, advanced technologies, and cultural values are exchanged and integrated. We're setting a new standard where comfort blends seamlessly with sustainability, combining Japanese precision with Indonesian warmth.”
The launch of Opus Park comes at a timely moment, aligning with Bank Indonesia’s recent interest rate cut to 5.50% in May 2025 an economic shift that creates favorable conditions for long-term property investment. According to market analysts, premium integrated developments such as Opus Park are outpacing traditional properties, with value appreciation reaching 15–20% higher in some segments.
Sustainable Use of Japanese Technology
1. Engineering Excellence
Hiramsyah S. Thaib, President Director of PT Izumi Sentul Realty, shared how Japanese construction standards are reshaping the local property landscape, he emphasized, “We have adopted Japan’s rigorous engineering principles in every details, starting from shinbashira earthqueake-resistant structures that exceed local seismic standards by 40%, to nano-coated exterior materials that cut heat absorption by 35%. Our energy management system, inspired by smart city projects in Tokyo, delivers up to 30% more efficiency compared to typical ASEAN green buildings."
2. A technological life
Bertoni Probo, Director of PT Izumi Sentul Realty, explained how the integration of technology is designed to improve quality of life—not just impress on paper. "Residents will enjoy a fully connected living environment, with features like biometric access, AI-powered home automation, and real-time air quality monitoring. But what matters most is how these technologies quietly enhance everyday routines. For example, our wastewater recycling system conserves over 8 million liters of water each year—the equivalent of daily usage for 1,200 families,” he stated.
Investment Potential with Purpose
Opus Park offers more than just an exceptional place to live it presents a smart, future-forward investment opportunity:
- Strategic Growth Area: Property values in Sentul have grown by 12% year-on-year (CBRE 2024), and with upcoming infrastructure like the new toll road and LRT, capital appreciation is projected to rise by another 25% by 2027.
- Sustainable Premium: LEED Gold-certified buildings consistently deliver 7–10% higher rental yields in Indonesia’s premium market segment.
- Strong Corporate Interest: Multinational companies have already reserved 30% of Phase 1 units for executive housing, signaling strong corporate demand.
Beyond returns, the project is also a catalyst for regional development—expected to create over 2,800 jobs during construction and position Sentul as an emerging hub for sustainable, integrated urban living.
Conclusion
Opus Park is not merely a residential complex, it serves as a model for future urban development in Southeast Asia. By combining Japan’s technological expertise with Indonesia’s dynamic economic growth, the project offers a holistic approach to sustainable and adaptive urban living.
The development is grounded in several core principles:
- Smart design that proactively responds to residents' evolving needs
- Sustainable systems that minimize environmental impact through energy efficiency and resource recycling
- Cultural synergy that fosters inclusive and harmonious community spaces
This project also reflects an emerging trend in superblock developments that are integrated with public transportation and essential public facilities. With more than 65% of Phase 1 units already sold and prices expected to rise following the completion of key infrastructure such as the LRT and new toll roads, Opus Park illustrates a shift in consumer preference toward housing that is not only comfortable but also forward-looking.
