Singapore-headquartered SJ Group has opened a new consolidated office in Blok M, Jakarta, marking a significant step in unifying its operations in Indonesia and strengthening integrated, multidisciplinary collaboration under one roof.

SJ has been operating in Indonesia for over 50 years through SMEC, an SJ company that has played a pivotal role in delivering transformative infrastructure projects across transport, energy, water and urban development for both the private and public sectors. Contributing to more than 200 projects, SMEC has worked across public-private partnerships (PPPs) as well as managed large programmes across Indonesian and regional government partners.

“We’ve brought the SJ team together under one roof in Blok M, a space that reflects how we work today: connected, collaborative and future-focused. It’s a demonstration of our commitment to Indonesia, and it gives us the room to grow, create and support our clients as the country builds for the future,” said  Sean Chiao, group CEO of SJ. 

SJ’s ongoing initiatives in Indonesia reflect its commitment to sustainability, innovation and long-term impact. In West Java, the group is supporting the TPPAS Greater Cirebon regional waste management programme – a transformative project serving five municipalities through advanced treatment technologies, climate resilience planning and circular economy principles. In South Sulawesi, the group (through SMEC) is delivering feasibility studies for floating solar PV installations across three sites, supporting Indonesia’s energy transition and low-carbon ambitions. 

With a presence built over decades, SJ continues to deliver end-to-end advisory for infrastructure, industrial and township development across the country. Notable projects include Kediri Airport in Surabaya, one of Indonesia’s first airports delivered via PPP, where the group led feasibility studies, PPP structuring and project management. Other developments include a 58-ha integrated township in West Sumbawa, and Subang Smartpolitan in West Java, a 2,700-ha smart city development combining residential, commercial and industrial zones. 

Through Mitbana, its joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, SJ is also shaping future-ready communities in Greater Jakarta. Mitbana is co-developing Hiera, a 108-ha mixed-use precinct in BSD City with Sinar Mas Land, and Green Bestari Park, a 51-ha transit-oriented township in Tangerang with Intiland.
