Posted in: Hotels, Malls, TowersTags:

The Pacific Place Jakarta is an international shopping mall located in in the Sudirman Central Business District, Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia. The building is divided into 3 different sections: the six-floor Pacific Place mall, the One Pacific Place office center, and the three tower The Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place hotel. The project was started by the Dua Mutiara group, and its original design was a triangular building, designed like other buildings around the location. However, the management changed the design, as the head of the project feared of a Chinese prophecy that proved a 45 degree building would mean bad luck. The mall opened in November 2007.

Opened on the fall of 2007, the Pacific Place Jakarta consisted of six floors, and included several notable tenants, such as Blitzmegaplex, Kidzania Jakarta, Kem Chicks, and the Metro Group, which also opened a Metro Department Store in Pondok Indah Mall.
