By adopting a dynamic urban concept infused with sustainability, PIM 3 seamlessly combines functionality and aesthetics.

Introducing the Pondok Indah Mall 3 Project

Inaugurated in 2021, PIM 3 is part of an expansive development that includes PIM 1, PIM 2, and Office Tower 5. Strategically located on Jl. Metro Pondok Indah, Kebayoran Lama, this area has been designed as a hub for business and lifestyle activities in South Jakarta.

Covering approximately 267,000 square meters, Pondok Indah Mall 3 offers a “youth-centric” concept. Under one roof, visitors can enjoy innovative retail experiences, modern workspaces, and an atmosphere that promotes an active and sustainable lifestyle.

Characteristics of Pondok Indah Mall 3

PIM 3 stands out with its unique Street Gallery concept, featuring a beautifully curved organic roof that spans the corridors and main atrium. This design is not only visually striking but also maximizes natural lighting, enhancing the mall’s sustainable features.

The architectural approach emphasizes the integration of art and ecology. Eco-friendly materials were used to minimize energy consumption, while the bright and open environment encourages active movement among visitors.
