Pantai Indah Kapuk

PIK was historically part of the particuliere landerij, or private domain of Kapoek. The estate was owned by Tan Eng Goan, 1st Majoor der Chinezen of Batavia (1802-1872), and was later purchased by his successor (no relation), the 2nd Majoor Tan Tjoen Tiat (1816 — 1880). In the early 20th century, it became part of the landholdings of N.V. Landbouw Maatschappij Tan Tiang Po, a landholding company belonging to Majoor Tan Eng Goan's grandson-inlaw, Luitenant der Chinezen Tan Tiang Po and of the latter's son, Tan Liok Tiauw, Landheeren (or landlords) of Batoe-Tjepper.

Now, it is owned by Sugianto Kusuma's PT Agung Sedaya and Harris Then's PT Tunas Mekar Jaya. == PIK 2 expansion project ==

The development of Pantai Indah Kapuk has been the subject of longstanding environmental and regulatory concerns. According to a study on new town development in Indonesia, the approximately 1,160-hectare project was constructed beginning in 1989 on land previously consisting of mangrove forests and coastal swamps. The initial development approvals were issued during the tenure of then Minister of Forestry Hasjrul Harahap and Jakarta Governor Wiyogo Atmodarminto. Urban planning disputes have also arisen in relation to the site's zoning designation. Under the Jakarta master land-use plans of 1985 and 2005, the area had previously been classified as part of a protected green belt, before being redesignated for residential use in 1995. Civil society organisations have alleged that aspects of the project contributed to increased flood risk in adjacent areas such as Penjaringan, and have raised the possibility of legal action on the grounds of non-compliance with earlier spatial planning regulations. == See also ==
