A number of the tallest buildings in Indonesia are either under construction or in the planning stages. These could dramatically alter Jakarta’s skyline in the next decade. Nearly all of the country’s skyscrapers are found in the capital or the nearby suburb of Tangerang with a few tall towers located in Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city.
The Tallest Buildings in Indonesia
Gama Tower
Mixed-use
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Height: 288 meters (947 feet)
Completed: 2016
Gama Tower opened in 2016 amid much fanfare. The skyscraper is divided into two distinct zones. A Westin Hotel is situated on floors 50-69 while the rest of the building is dedicated to office space. Gama Tower’s most notable tenant is Grab as the ridesharing company bases their Indonesia operation here.
46 Wisma
Office
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Height: 261 meters (860 feet)
Completed: 1996
It’s remarkable to think 46 Wisma is almost 25-years old. It remains one of the most iconic buildings in Indonesia thanks to a unique design that looks a bit like a fountain pen depending on who you ask. When 46 Wisma opened in 1996, it was not only the tallest building in Indonesia, but was among the tallest in the entire southern hemisphere although it has since been passed on both fronts.
The Pakubuwono Signature
Residential
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia
Height: 252 meters (827 feet)
Completed: 2014
At the moment, The Pakubuwono Signature remains the tallest residential building in Indonesia. However, there are a few projects under construction that will likely surpass it when they are completed a few years from now. The skyscraper features a range of contemporary luxury apartments and the development was one of the first condominiums in Jakarta to incorporate resort-style amenities.
