Krakatau Property Facilities To Develop Business Wings Outside Cilegon

JAKARTA - PT Krakatau Sarana Properti (KSP), Sub Holding PT Krakatau Sarana Infrastruktur as well as the grandson of PT Krakatau Steel, has begun to develop its business wing outside the Cilegon industrial area, Banten, which is to open the branch of The Surosowan restaurant.

"In the last two years, we have developed The Surosowan and The Kaibon restaurants in the Krakatau Cilegon Industrial Estate and the response is positive. Therefore, we plan to open a new branch of The Surosowan in Jakarta next month at the Gatot Subroto Office (KSBM) Jakarta," said President Director of PT Krakatau Sarana Properti Iip Arief in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday, July 8.

Companies engaged in non-state businesses such as the management of the Krakatau Industrial Estate, Hotel, Sport Center and Golf, Housing, Restaurant, which was just 3rd Anniversary on July 1, 2024, chose to open a restaurant business because the food and beverage industry is still growing and in demand by investors.

It was recorded that in the 2023 period, the development of investment realization in this sector reached IDR 85.1 trillion. The food and beverage industry can still grow 4.3 percent in 2023.

Iip added that the food and beverage industry is one of the strategic sectors and has an important role in supporting Indonesia's economic growth. Based on BPS data, this industry contributed 6.55 percent of the national GDP in 2023.

Therefore, PT KSP is optimistic that the opening of a new branch of The Surosowan restaurant in Jakarta can provide an additional new revenue for the company. Our optimism is supported by the Association of Food and Beverage Companies which estimates the industry will grow 7 percent this year," explained Iip.

The food menu served at The Surosowan is a combination of local and international food signatures such as Nasi Mix Surosowan, Sate Sineret, Tomahawk Torton, Salmon Lemon Butter, Korean Chicken Wing, Sate Maranggi, Buntut, beef and seafood medley as well as drink wedang secang and drink uwuh.

Furthermore, he said, in addition to developing the Resto of The Surosowan, KSP will also increase revenue from other business lines, including sports centers, one of which is currently being worked on to improve the driving range at The Royale Krakatau Golf.

Another plan in August, KSP will inaugurate a new housing project, namely Krakata Rakata Arum. This housing will later become a solution to the property needs of Cilegon residents as well as Banten as well as increase PT KSP's income from the property business unit sector.

"That's not all, PT KSP has also started collaborating with other parties to build property. If so far we have prepared the equity, then we can collaborate with outsiders," explained Iip.
