To whom do you dedicate this prestigous accolade?

I dedicate this award to everyone at Summarecon, and to the founder of Summarecon, my father, who pioneered the company that is now known and has become one of the leading property companies in Indonesia. I also dedicate this award to our customers who have given Summarecon their trust and who always encourage us to keep our commitment strongly to provide high quality real estate products.

What is your vision for Indonesia’s property sector?

Our vision is for Indonesia to have new townships, new cities with modern infrastructure and facilities that are wonderful to live in. These townships will feature the latest technology and sustainable that will take Indonesia real estate to the international stage.

Summarecon Kelapa Gading, our first project, and the subsequent Summarecon Serpong, Summarecon Bekasi, Summarecon Bandung and the latest Summarecon Emerald Karawang, have contributed to our goals as a company. We always learn from our past projects, and we implement a better approach moving forward and strive for the best.

Are you optimistic about the Indonesian real estate sector?

Based on the state policies that increasingly support the property industry, we are very optimistic about the growth and development of the property industry in Indonesia. Supported by strong economic growth, increasingly widespread public transportation and improving quality of human resources, our hope is that the overall Indonesian property industry would rise up and become one of the economic pillars of the nation. 

Nagaria will be presented the Real Estate Personality of the Year award at Indonesia’s premier real estate event on 13 October 2016 at Fairmont Jakarta.
