History
edit
PIK was historically part of the particuliere landerij or private domain of Kapoek. The estate was owned by Tan Eng Goan, 1st Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia (1802 — 1872), and was later purchased by his successor (no relation), the 2nd Majoor Tan Tjoen Tiat (1816 — 1880).[5]
In the early 20th century, it became part of the landholdings of N.V. Landbouw Maatschappij Tan Tiang Po, a landholding company belonging to Majoor Tan Eng Goan's grandson-inlaw, Luitenant der Chinezen Tan Tiang Po and of the latter's son, Tan Liok Tiauw, Landheeren (or landlords) of Batoe-Tjepper.[6][7]
In 1988, the property developer Ciputra, backed by Indonesia's wealthiest man at the time Sudono Salim, acquired the area and developed today's housing estate of Pantai Indah Kapuk, earmarked as a wealthy suburb of gated communities.[8] Now, it is owned by Sugianto Kusuma's PT Agung Sedaya and Harris Then's PT Tunas Mekar Jaya.[9]

Controversy
edit_06.jpg)
The Pantai Indah Kapuk project in Jakarta, was criticized in interviews with various officials for its potentially negative environmental impact and incompatibility with existing regulations. According to a newspaper report, this 1,160-hectare complex has long sparked controversy as it was built in 1989 on an area formerly covered by mangrove forests and swamps. The construction of the project was approved by the then minister of forestry Hasjrul Harahap and then governor Wiyogo Atmodarminto. Several NGOs are planning to file a class action suit against the developer for causing floods in the nearby Penjaringan area. They accused the developer of violating the city's land-use plan for building the complex on a protected green belt area. According to the city's master land-use plan for 1985 and 2005, the location was still designated a green belt area. But, it was changed into a residential area in 1995.
