Sudirman Suites Jakarta Apartment Review & Ratings

Sudirman Central Business District or SCBD is a large economic area in Jakarta that occupies 45 hectares of land. About 13 hectares of SCBD were used for green areas and the rest was utilized for office buildings, public transportation, infrastructure, shopping center,s and residential.

SCBD, along with Sudirman, Thamrin, Kuningan and roads that connect business district in Jakarta were forming imaginary sub-district called Jakarta’s Golden Triangle. This is where business, governance and urban activity took place. Therefore, any residential located inside the Golden Triangle is considered as strategic.

One of residential stands within SCBD is Sudirman Suites Jakarta. It is an upscale apartment established by Pikko Group in 2018. The apartment features 21 floors with 400 units apartment in total.

From here, residents can get easy access to various city landmarks, like Plaza Senayan and Plaza Indonesia. Although Sudirman Suites seems to has premium location, the rental price is rather moderate, compare to other condominium nearby.
