REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Jakarta property business increases significantly in 2012 according to the research from Colliers International. The increasing is seen from property rent in several sectors, such as office, apartment, retail, and industry.

“Rent has increased unexpectedly in 2012,” the Director Office Service Colliers International, Bagus Adikusumo, said on Monday.

The increasing rates of property rent are caused by some factors, namely stable safety rate, over-all drop rate or stable quality, little supply or building, and the tendency of foreigners to invest in Indonesia. “The increasing is mainly caused by the big market in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta,” the Managing Director Colliers International, Mike Broomell.

It is seen from the increasing of occupancy rental rate in central business district (CBD) and non-CBD in 94.5 percent. “Office business will be more prospective until 2013.
