Repower Asia signs deal to develop affordable housing in Bogor

Repower Asia’s controlled subsidiary signed a housing deal with Riscon Group for Grand Riscon Darmaga in Leuwiliang, Bogor, West Java.

The project will include homes for lower-income buyers as well as commercial units.

The subsidiary is entitled to 57% of net profit, while Riscon Group will receive 43%; the agreement runs for two years and can be extended by mutual consent.

Indonesia’s government plans to raise the monthly income limit for subsidised-home buyers to Rp17 million, but developers are still waiting for detailed rules.

A higher limit could bring more middle-income families into the market, while longer subsidised mortgage terms are also intended to make monthly payments more affordable.

West Java has had the country’s highest number of realised subsidised housing loans, giving the Bogor project access to a large potential market.

The deal gives Repower a potential share of that demand, though the sources do not say when construction or sales will begin.
