History

PIK was historically part of the '' particuliere landerij'' or private domain of Kapoek. The estate was owned by Tan Eng Goan, 1st ''Majoor der Chinezen'' of Batavia (1802 — 1872), and was later purchased by his successor (no relation), the 2nd Majoor Tan Tjoen Tiat (1816 — 1880). In the early 20th century, it became part of the landholdings of ''N.V. Landbouw Maatschappij Tan Tiang Po'', a landholding company belonging to Majoor Tan Eng Goan's grandson-inlaw, ''Luitenant der Chinezen'' Tan Tiang Po and of the latter's son,

The construction of the project was approved by the then minister of forestry Hasjrul Harahap and then governor

. Several NGOs are planning to file a class action suit against the developer for causing floods in the nearby

area. They accused the developer of violating the city’s land-use plan for building the complex on a protected green belt area. According to the city’s master land-use plan for 1985 and 2005, the location was still designated a green belt area. But, it was changed into a residential area in 1995.
