Kompas Multimedia Towers, Media office complex in Tanah Abang, Jakarta, Indonesia
Kompas Multimedia Towers comprise three buildings reaching 92, 138, and 226 meters in height, occupying 1.2 hectares and forming a cohesive media complex in the Tanah Abang district. These structures contain 18, 27, and 52 floors respectively, with spaces designed for editorial offices, broadcasting studios, and technical operations.
Towers I and II were completed on 17 April 2017, and Tower III on 16 April 2018. On 20 April 2018 Kompas, Kompas.id, Kompas.com and Kompas TV moved from Gedung Kompas Gramedia, marked by cutting a tumpeng. On 27 April 2018 Vice President Muhammad Jusuf Kalla opened the complex, typing the word "Kompas" on a historic typewriter.
The complex houses Kompas, Kompas.id, Kompas.com and Kompas TV, which moved here from Gedung Kompas Gramedia on 20 April 2018, marked by cutting a tumpeng. The name Kompas comes from the newspaper founded by Jakob Oetama and P. K. Ojong; the towers keep that masthead at the centre of Indonesian journalism.
Located at Jalan Palmerah Selatan 21 in central Jakarta, the complex is accessible via public transportation and sits near major roads. Note that this is an active media workplace with restricted access, so inquire ahead if you wish to explore the public spaces or building surroundings.
At the 27 April 2018 inauguration, Vice President Muhammad Jusuf Kalla typed the word "Kompas" on a historic typewriter, with Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and former President Megawati Soekarnoputri present. A week earlier, on 20 April 2018, staff marked the move from Gedung Kompas Gramedia by cutting a tumpeng.
