Workers hanging around to complete the final work on the construction of a new apartment in the Pondok Cabe area, South Tangerang, Banten, Monday (9/1/2023).

Ariesta Sitepu (45) often visits the empty 1-hectare land on Jl. Raya Bogor, Depok city. The land, which is filled with shrubs, was the planned location of the Cimanggis City Apartment.

The condition of the site was not much different from when he paid a down payment of Rp 5 million in 2017 to buy an apartment unit there. In total, he has paid Rp 137 million in installments and should have received the unit by early 2021. There are no activities or any developments on the land. The marketing office has been empty for a long time. He does not know where to go to collect the promised apartment unit.
