Manggarai Subsidised Flats: Contractor Pick in December, Build from January 2027

Three months after groundbreaking, the site of the Manggarai subsidised flats in South Jakarta is still empty. KAI Properti says the contractor will be chosen in December 2026, physical works will start in January 2027 and completion is expected in August 2028. The 6,925 m² Block G plot has been cleared. In total the estate is planned to have eight 24-storey towers with 3,784 units, so this tender timetable matters for suppliers of concrete, steel and finishing materials.

Manggarai subsidised flats timetable: from groundbreaking to tender

Hunian Terjangkau Manggarai, also called Maraya Residences, was launched with a groundbreaking on 21 August 2026. The Ministry of Housing (PKP) says it is being built on about 2.1 hectares of PT KAI land at Manggarai Station, with BTN as partner. At the time, Housing Minister Maruarar Sirait said he hoped construction would take 18 months.

But a detikProperti visit on 4 November 2026 found the site still empty except for one type-45 show unit. KAI Properti corporate communication manager Bramantya Candrika said contractor selection is scheduled for December 2026, physical works are targeted to start in January 2027 and completion is estimated for August 2028. The 6,925 m² Block G plot has been cleared and is ready, while Block F at the end of Jalan Manggarai Utara VII still has buildings on it.

Project scale: eight 24-storey towers

According to the PKP ministry, the estate is planned to have eight towers: three in Block G with 1,276 units and five in Block F with 2,508 units. Each tower has 24 floors. The August release listed three unit types, a 28 m² studio, type 36 and type 45, plus about 150 retail units. detikProperti in November reported two types, 21 m² and 45 m², priced from Rp294 million to Rp630 million per unit. The difference suggests the unit mix may still change before sales open.

KAI Properti says almost 1,500 people expressed interest in a survey. Opening of the booking queue (NUP) is targeted for this year, with an off-plan mortgage scheme so buyers can apply for credit while units are under construction.

What the Manggarai flats mean for material suppliers

A 24-storey residential block needs structural concrete, rebar, formwork, lightweight blocks or wall panels, plaster and skim coat, ceiling frames and gypsum board, floor and wall tiles, doors, frames, paint, sanitary ware, clean-water and waste pipes, and electrical cable. Official sources have not yet given material specifications or volumes, so quantities cannot be calculated.

What is clear is the sequence. If the contractor is chosen in December 2026, structural material procurement for Block G will likely begin in early 2027, with finishing materials following as the frame rises. Suppliers wanting to be on the vendor list should watch KAI Properti tender announcements and prepare product documents, including SNI certificates and delivery capacity into congested central Jakarta.
