History edit

Central Park Jakarta was inaugurated on 9 September 2009, on the site of Integrated Mega Projects of Podomoro City that was located in West Jakarta. The main principle was Singaporean DP Architects, while American DYXY acted as the interior designer, and American Bennit Design Group as the landscape consultant. The main contractor for the complex was Total Bangun Persada. It was named after the original Central Park in New York City. Central Park Jakarta is situated in between Mall Taman Anggrek and Mall Ciputra.
