Jakarta, May 4, 2025 – Jakarta Governor Dr. Ir. Pramono Anung Wibowo, M.M., inaugurated the Jakarta Garden City Mosque, a social and religious facility within the rapidly developing Jakarta Garden City township in Cakung, East Jakarta, on Saturday morning (5/4). The event, which began at dawn, was attended by local residents, religious leaders, and regional government representatives.

The inauguration of the mosque, which can accommodate hundreds of worshippers, commenced with communal dzikir (remembrance of God), the dawn (Subuh) prayer, Quranic recitation, and a sermon delivered by a representative of PWNU Jakarta.

In his address, Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo emphasized that the presence of the Jakarta Garden City Mosque in the heart of a modern residential area reflects the synergy between physical and spiritual development.

"A mosque is the center of moral guidance and communal unity. The government appreciates the initiative taken by the community and the developer in establishing a representative place of worship like this," said Pramono Anung Wibowo after signing the mosque's inauguration plaque.

Kelvin O. Lesmana, President Director of PT Mitra Sindo Sukses, explained that the construction of the Jakarta Garden City Mosque aligns with the company's commitment to providing holistic public facilities. "As a subsidiary of PT Modernland Realty Tbk., we believe that ideal township development must encompass spiritual and social dimensions. This mosque is a tangible manifestation of that principle," said Kelvin O. Lesmana.

Meanwhile, Yandi Ramayadi, Township Management Head of Jakarta Garden City, added that the mosque would not only serve as a worship facility for Muslim residents but would also host social activities, religious education, and community gatherings. "The Jakarta Garden City Mosque can become a communal space where residents gather and socialize," said Yandi Ramayadi. The event concluded with a friendly gathering and a communal breakfast on the mosque’s second floor.

A Symbol of Architecture and Spirituality

The Jakarta Garden City Mosque stands at the center of an expanding residential area. Its striking design features symmetrical architecture, an emerald-green dome crowning the roof, and large windows that allow natural light to illuminate the interior. White pillars support the two-story structure, exuding both strength and elegance.

The mosque incorporates Middle Eastern-inspired geometric patterns on its facade while retaining a welcoming local identity. Lush landscaping surrounds the building, enhancing its harmony with the environment and transforming it into more than just a place of worship—it is a public space that fosters unity.

With a capacity for hundreds of worshippers and a multipurpose area for community activities, the Jakarta Garden City Mosque is poised to become a dynamic spiritual hub for all residents of the township.
