We certainly have heard the nickname ' Paris van Java' for Bandung which means the Paris of Java Island. It turns out that Sumatra also has Medan, the capital city of North Sumatra, as its ' Paris van Sumatra'. Medan is the third-largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta & Surabaya and is a key business player in Indonesia. In the past, around the year 1823, Medan was only occupied by about 200 people. The nickname ' Paris van Sumatra' itself was first coined by the Dutch who ruled Deli tobacco plantations. They transformed Medan into a modern city with European-style buildings, where several buildings can still be seen today. Medan, also known for its legendary culinary delights, is currently home to more than 2.5 million people. Medan is one of only eleven cities in Indonesia with a population of more than one million people.
In addition to European-style buildings, Medan now has many shopping centres and has evolved into an international city. Towards the end of 2019, Podomoro City Deli Medan arrived as the largest superblock and the newest icon of the city of Medan. Occupying an area of 5.2 hectares, Podomoro City Deli Medan offers 3 exclusive apartment towers, 2 premium apartment towers, 2 Tribeca condominium towers, 1 premium office tower, hotel, and Delipark Mall which is the largest and most luxurious shopping centre in Medan. In 2020, Delipark Mall is completed with the presence of Rivapark which offers a green open space surrounded by various cafes and restaurants. Delipark Mall and Rivapark’s concept is inspired by Central Park Mall and Tribeca Park in Jakarta, which has been successfully implemented by Agung Podomoro Land since 2009.
Delipark Mall continues to offer various breakthroughs in Medan, such as presenting several international brands that launched their first outlets in Medan, such as Sephora, Pull & Bear, Starbucks Reserve, Kimukatsu, Genki Sushi, and most recently, Coach. Since the beginning, the strategic position of Medan has made it a trading centre for both imports and exports of goods and services. Moreover, in the last decade, infrastructure development with an international standard is being promoted in Medan. One of the tangible manifestations is Kualanamu International Airport, which is the second-largest airport in Indonesia. In the future, under the new government, Medan is expected to become a full-fledged international city.
In addition to Delipark Mall and Rivapark, the Podomoro City Deli Medan superblock offers various types of residential buildings, where currently 3 exclusive apartment towers have been sold out. However, the public still has the opportunity to own an exclusive residence in the heart of Medan through Tribeca condominiums and premium apartments which will soon be marketed. Prospective buyers can take advantage of the VAT subsidy program offered by the government until the end of August 2021. In addition, Agung Podomoro Land also provides payment options through developers with 30 instalments or through banking institutions that have collaborated with Podomoro City Deli Medan.
Tribeca Condominium provides ready-to-use units with comprehensive facilities ranging from an adult swimming pool, children's pool, tennis court, fitness centre, yoga studio to a billiard table, table tennis, sauna, children's playground, barbeque area, and reflexology path. Beautifully landscaped gardens are surrounding these facilities. This residence is also the only residential building in Medan that provides a private lift and is acknowledged the most luxurious residence in the Podomoro City Deli Medan superblock. Each unit is equipped with Italian marble floors, a smart home lighting system, as well as comprehensive 24-hour security through security officers and CCTV.
In addition to Tribeca Condominium, Podomoro City Deli Medan also offers premium apartments consisting of 2 towers, the Empire Tower & the Victory Tower. Right opposite the historical building of TVRI North Sumatra, Empire Tower comes in two types, a 1 bedroom with 62.74 m2 area and 3 bedrooms with 107.84 m2 area. Each unit in the Empire Tower has the option to choose from a selection of equally spectacular views, a view to Rivapark, a calming view to the swimming pool, or a view of the city with the Bukit Barisan and the Belawan Sea in the distance. The other tower, Victory Tower offers a variety of units ranging from studios 28.39 m2 area to 3 bedrooms with 107.69 m2 area.
Both the Empire and Victory Tower are equipped with a complete array of super facilities designed by Avalon Collective Singapore.
