Not Only Industrial Focus, KITB Wants To Build A Premium Residential Zone Similar To PIK 2

BATANG - PT Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang (KITB) will build a commercial zone and premium housing resembling the PIK 2 concept.

This step was in response because it was inspired by an integrated industrial estate model with housing, entertainment, tourism and education facilities such as in Shenzhen, China.

"From the next two to three years, hotels, apartments, malls, cafes, and restaurants will be established on the beach, yes, similar to PIK 2," said KITB President Director Ngurah Wirawan to reporters at Grand Batang City, Sunday, December 15.

Ngurah explained that the master plan for the construction (master plan) was initially only focused on building factories for downstreaming.

Nevertheless, he ensured that development in KITB was in accordance with the criteria desired by the government.

"Initially what the government wanted was like electric cars, then electric motorcycles, battery factories, then solar panels, semiconductors, that's expected to be here. But it turns out that I've been selling for 2 years, looking for investors, like that, it's not easy. Sometimes it takes time, meanwhile we have to grow and live, support employees," he said.

Ngurah added that the construction of commercial and residential zones will be carried out in parallel with industrial areas.

"This bar is different. For example, you and your family departed from Jakarta, eh, stop by to Batang, there is a watersport on the coastline. Because we are on a path. So that the types of tourism are simple. For example, Ancol can be passed one way. But we are still exploring the concept," he said.
