We came across this ingenious development; via the Raising the Roof property blog. Regatta Jakarta is a nautical themed design conceived by the renowned Atkins-design studio. It is a mixed-use development situated in Pantai Mutiara Canal Estate on the shores of the Java Sea.
The centrepiece of the Regatta is its iconic 160 metre high, arch-shaped five-star hotel tower that represents a ‘lighthouse’ or ‘beacon’ surrounded by 10 residential apartment towers which each representing ships sailing around this ‘beacon’, hence the name ‘Regatta’ was coined.
Regatta is a colossal development with 320 rooms in its luxury hotel tower, and a total of 920 luxury apartments in its 10 residential towers all spread across a huge 99,363 sqm site area. It would also include an extensively landscaped 25,600 sqm water park.
Whilst the entire development is expected to be completed in a decade, the completion of the first phase, which involves full construction of four of the ten apartment towers, is slated for November 30, 2008. The centrepiece of the development, its 40-storey ‘lighthouse’ hotel would regrettably for us be built in the final third phase.
