Continuing its success, in 1973 Agung Podomoro Group carried out a major transformation in Sunter Agung, North Jakarta, what was once an area filled with warehouses and swamps were converted into an exclusive housing area with compelling facilities.

In 1986, Trihatma Kusuma Haliman succeeded his father Anton Haliman as the leader of Agung Podomoro Group. In the same year, Agung Podomoro Group expanded its development area to more than 517 hectares which were used to build exclusive living residences in North Jakarta.

Seven years later, in 2002, Agung Podomoro Group established its first commercial project, Mangga Dua Square shopping centre. In the same year, Agung Podomoro Group started building apartments in big scale, their first project was Gading Mediterania Residences or better known as Gading Nias.

In 2005, Agung Podomoro Group ventured into building its first premium mall Senayan City. Senayan City comprises of a high-end shopping mall, an office tower, and an apartment tower. Two years later, Mediterania Garden Residence with more than 2,500 units became the first establishment by Agung Podomoro Group that is located in the superblock area of Podomoro City. Then in 2009 Agung Podomoro Group officially opened Central Park Mall as their flagship project in the same superblock area. Central Park Mall integrated modern and nature in its concept. Agung Podomoro Group completed the superblock area with Pullman Central Park, a premium hotel, in 2011.

In addition to the property, Agung Podomoro entered the education world by acquiring the North Jakarta Intercultural School in 2011 and established Podomoro University in 2013.
