Kemuliaan Megah Perkasa (A subsidiary of Artha Graha Group), this complex apartment has three towers, Infinia, Ultima (which consist of 32 floors and 351 units), and one office tower of 18 floors (Lumina). The building itself is not too large and has a simple yet exquisite design. It was designed by an Australian architect called Denton Corker Marshall.

Kuningan Place sits in an empty place, on the north side of Kali Cideng (Cideng River). The area around the apartment is still under development. There is no landmark nearby, except Rasuna Epicentrum which is just 1 km away.

KUNINGAN PLACE APARTMENT FACILITY

Kuningan Place apartment facilities lie on separate floors inside the tower. It is pretty hard for non-residents to find these facilities. 

Swimming Pool

The swimming pool in Kuningan Place is located on the ground floor, adjacent to the main lobby. This pool has a form of “T” shape and occupies a large area in a courtyard. Even though it is located next to the lobby, residents still can get their privacy, because there is a concrete wall beside the pool that blocks the vision of visitors from the lobby.

The water inside the pool is rather cold. Sun exposure does not affect the water temperature. There are some benches around the pool for residents to sit and relax.

Gym

Kuningan Place’s gym is located on the first floor, next to the aerobic room. From here, you can see the swimming pool below. The gym equipment provided here is surprisingly very complete. You can find many barbels, treadmills, lat pull-down gym machines, and other types of equipment here.

The room is rather small, compared to another gym I have visited. Many amount of equipment inside the gym makes this room look even narrower. However, the gym room doesn’t have a door, so the air circulation is very good inside.

Aerobic Room

Located next to the gym, there is also an aerobic room for residents who love to workout in motion. This room has a large space which can accommodate many residents. Inside the room, there is also a large mirror to help residents and instructors for doing aerobics.

Laundry

When we don’t have enough time to do our washing, the presence of laundry can be very helpful. Luckily, there is a laundry room below the ground floor.

UNIT CONDITION

There are three types of rooms leased by Kuningan Kuningan Place apartment, 1BR, 2BR, and 3BR. Most of the units in Kuningan Place are leased in fully furnished condition, so residents don’t have to bring their furniture after moving. The amenities in the 1BR unit include 1 bathroom, kitchen, dining set, AC, hot water tap, access card, refrigerator, and television. For 2BR and 3BR, the amenities include AC, hot water tap, dining set, 1 bathroom (for 2BR), 2 bathrooms ( for 3BR), access card, kitchen, refrigerator, washing machine, and television. Apartment officials also equipped those three units with internet and cable TV.

The unit sizes in Kuningan Place are 39 sqm for 1BR, 72 sqm for 2BR, and 200 sqm for 3BR. For the rent charge, the 3BR unit is the most expensive, Rp 27.000.000 ($ 1.925) per month, followed by the 2BR unit, Rp 10.850.000 ($ 774) per month, and 1BR unit, Rp 7.500.000 ($ 535).

One week ago, I had an opportunity to visit the 2BR unit in Infinia Tower, Kuningan Place. This unit sits on the 7th floor and is located at the back of the apartment. The scenery provided here is not amazing. You could see many empty spaces filled with bushes and wild grass below. Sometimes you could also see pickup trucks passing by since the surrounding area is still under development. The scenery below is dominated by human settlements, whereas downtown skyscrapers are far behind.

The scenery, nevertheless looks unappealing, the unit itself is very comfy and spacious. The presence of large glass in the living room and bedroom also reinforces the impression of “broadness” and increased brightness level inside.

The 2BR unit in Kuningan Place has a wide living room complete with a couch, television, and glass table. This is a perfect place to relax and enjoy your free time. On the back of the living room, there is a kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, drawer, and wastafel. There are two bedrooms in total, a double bed for you and your spouse, and a single bed for your kids. However, the balcony inside the unit is very narrow. Because of the limited space, you cannot dry many clothes on the balcony. The balcony features with metal trellis, so you don’t have a broad vision outside the balcony.

 

ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE APARTMENT:

 

As explained above, the area surrounding Kuningan Place apartments is still under development, so the scenery is dominated by green space and human settlement. Sometimes you could see many pickup trucks passing by, but the vehicle noise is not too audible from the unit.

Kuningan Place was already occupied by some residents, so it is not quiet anymore. However, the condition inside the tower and lobby is not overcrowded and still conducive to a newcomer. When I was there, I didn’t see any expats living there. Most of the residents were locals and Chinese-Indonesian.

I didn’t experience bad traffic when I was there. I went out at 01:00 pm and left the apartment at 05:00 pm. The traffic became terrible after work hours, since there were many offices located close to the apartment.

OTHER THINGS YOU MIGHT LOVE:

For Kuningan Place residents, going to these places can be very near

Rasuna Epicentrum

Rasuna Epicentrum is the largest superblock in Jakarta with a total area of 53,6 hectares. Inside this superblock, there are apartments, offices, hotels, hospitals, shopping centers, schools, college,s and so on. For those who are moviegoers, I would recommend watching a movie in Epicentrum XXI which is located in Epiwalk inside this superblock. It has a large studio (can accommodate about 520 visitors) and the sound systems are amazing. For Kuningan Place’s residents, you only need to drive for 2 minutes to get to this place.

Plaza Festival Kuningan

Even though there are not so many restaurants near Kuningan Place, residents can always find delicious food here in Plaza Festival Kuningan. This mall is located on Jl. HR. Rasuna Said, Rasuna Epicentrum, Kuningan. The distance is 1 km away from the Kuningan Place apartment, pretty close right?

If you are a fan of fast food, eating at Plaza Festival Kuningan can be a good choice, because there are many fast food brands like McDonald’s (24 hours), KFC, Bakmi GM, Hartz Chicken Buffet, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, A&W Restaurant, Solaria, and Dim Sum Inc opening their branch here. You can also find many coffee shops, ice cream, and donut stores inside Plaza Festival Kuningan, such as Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin’ Donuts, J.CO Donuts, Starbucks, etc.

Setiabudi Astra MRT Station

Stuck in the middle of traffic in Jakarta can be quite frustrating. This is the major problem Jakarta’s citizens often face. Fortunately, for Kuningan Place residents, the location of MRT station is quite near, just 2 km away from the apartment. You can take online transportation to get there. It only took 13 minutes driving to reach Setiabudi Astra MRT station.

From Setiabudi Astra, you could go to Bundaran HI station by passing Dukuh Atas station. You can also head to Lebak Bulus station on the south by going passing Benhill station, Istora station, Senayan station, Sisingamangaraja station, Blok M station, Blok A station, Haji Nawi station, Cipete Raya station, Fatmawati station and then Lebak Bulus station.

Tangkuban Perahu Park

Finding a green open space in Jakarta is not an easy task. However, many parks can be found in South Jakarta, such as Menteng Park, Suropati Park and Tangkuban Perahu Park. The last one is the nearest to the Kuningan Place apartment. It is 1,3 km away and you can reach it by driving for 5 minutes.

There are a lot of activities that can be done in Tangkuban Perahu Park, like playing basketball, jogging, and other exercises. There is also kids’ playground inside this park. If you feel tired after exercising here, you can find many food stalls around, for instance, tempe mendoan, chicken grilled, mie ayam (chicken noodle), etc. The major shortcoming of this place is it is not very well maintained.
