Blok M Mixed Use

The unoccupied former intercity bus station in South Jakarta will be transformed into a thriving residential and creative district as part of the Blok M Mixed Use Development. In addition to residences, a hotel, and a convention center, the development will also include more public spaces and commercial areas. Kebayoran Baru Garden City in Jakarta will benefit from the restoration of homes and green public space thanks to Blok M Mixed Use.

The primary transportation hub for South Jakarta was Blok M Terminal. It provides inner-city buses to different areas of Jakarta, most notably the double-decker buses to Central Jakarta, as well as intercity buses to Jakarta's many suburbs. Blok M Mall, established in the early 1990s as Jakarta's 2000-era shopping mall, was situated just below the terminal and catered to the hub's numerous visitors and riders. Through the 1990s and 2000s, the mall experienced great success, especially after Transjakarta BRT Corridor 1 began operating in 2004. However, the COVID-19 Pandemic in the late 2010s and 2020 and the consolidation of intercity bus operations to Pulogebang in East Jakarta act as a double blow to the mall, decreasing the mall's tenancy as well as the hub's relevance to a mere BRT terminus.

Blok M Mixed Use was proposed by MRT Jakarta, the TOD Area Manager for Blok M - Sisingamangaraja, in recognition of the need for renewal and revitalization. The area will be transformed into a dynamic mixed-use neighborhood with new residences and green public spaces. The redevelopment will provide Kebayoran Baru Garden City in Jakarta with the landmark community hub it needs for the twenty-first century.
