ABOUT INTILAND TOWER SURABAYA ( WISMA DHARMALA SAKTI 2)

Before this building was built, the land which is now Intiland Tower was
occupied by a cinema named Cinema Bayu, which had been flattened before the
construction of this building began. Construction of the building began in April 1996
and construction was completed in August 1997. Wisma Dharmala Sakti, as its real
name, was designed by Paul Rudolph together with a local designer from PT
Gunawan Cipta Arsindo. Unfortunately, Paul Rudolph died in the same month with
the construction of Wisma Dharmala Sakti Surabaya, making this building his last
work in Indonesia (Rudolph also designed several Intiland buildings which
unfortunately were not built, all in Jakarta and have an equivalent style to Intiland's
Dharmala buildings other). Rudolph also would not see the results of his work
standing proudly in the City of Heroes.

Address Panglima Sudirman 101-103,Surabaya, Indonesia


Duration of

construction
In the progress of its development, the Wisma Dharmala Sakti project was shaken by
local people because its work disturbed the comfort of the surrounding community.
Fortunately, the contractor installed safety features in community homes next to the
project.

When it was completed, the building was designed to be a building that doubles as an
office and shopping center, later it has become a pure office with a little retail. The
Dharmala group office was merged into Intiland Tower and the rest was leased to the
public. Per annual report 2017, 68 percent of office space is filled with an average
rental fee of 183.5 thousand rupiah per square meter per month, lower than when the
building was completed, which is 75 percent when proclaimed by Construction
Magazine in September 1997, with monthly rental prices reaching Rp. 29,400
(equivalent to Rp. 204 thousand in 2018) per square meter.

This is unique and is a sloping building design that has been implemented before
going through the Dharmala Sakti guesthouse in Jakarta, although it is a building that
is messing up. The use of terraces and built-in overheads with a slope of up to 64
degrees and equipped with sun shading, is intended to reduce heat entering the
building without blocking the light, if it event has to sacrifice office space.
