The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) has accelerated the construction of flats for housing for government employees in the core area of the State Capital or IKN Indonesia, named Nusantara in Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan.

"We focus on accelerating the construction of towers (menara/flats) for ASN housing at IKN Nusantara," said PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono in an official press statement written in Penajam, quoted by Antara Monday.

The residential flats are adjusted to the ASN level, the higher the ASN rank of residential flats will be wider and the smallest the area of the ASN residential flats is around 98 square meters.

Flats for ASN housing, he said, were in the same class as an apartment with 47 towers and each tower was built on average 12 floors.

The construction of residential flats for government employees is in accordance with the city's concept of managing and maintaining the forest ecosystem, he continued, so the flats are built to not cut many forests.

In addition to 31 towers for ASN housing, from 47 towers also for Paspampres (presidential guard forces) nine towers, TNI/Polri four towers and the State Intelligence Agency or BIN three towers.

The total budget for flats is around 16,900 people consisting of around 11,000 ASN, as well as around 5,900 Paspampres, TNI/Polri and BIN, approximately Rp9.4 trillion.

"The flats built in mid-2023 include being a place to live with family," he said.

The PUPR Ministry targets that the tower of flats for government employees and security defenses in the IKN Indonesia area will only be 100 percent completed by December 2024.

However, Basuki Hadimuljono explained, 12 towers of government employee housing flats are targeted for completion and are ready to be occupied by around 2,500 people by July 2024.

The flats are for the residence of ASN, Paspampres, TNI/Polri and BIN assigned to IKN Nusantara, with the status of an official residence.
