Hybrid warehouse investment is gaining momentum in Tangerang as developers launch projects that combine storage, offices, and housing in a single location. This innovative concept is attracting strong interest from both local entrepreneurs and global investors who see opportunities in efficiency, accessibility, and growth potential. Strategically located near Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, the Duta Indah Starhub complex has become a centerpiece of this trend.
Hybrid Warehouse Investment Gains Momentum
Hybrid warehouses are redefining property development by merging multiple functions into one space. At Duta Indah Starhub, the project integrates modern storage, office space, and residential facilities. Former Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama highlighted the potential during the launch of the project’s third phase.
“I believe the construction of hybrid warehouses that integrate offices, housing, and storage in one area is a new investment niche that will have a positive impact on regional growth, especially in Tangerang City,” he said as reported by Antara News. He added that the concept suits young entrepreneurs entering the online sales market, as they no longer need to worry about storage being far from their homes.
Tangerang Warehouse Development Drives Economic Growth
The scale of Tangerang warehouse development is substantial. Duta Indah Starhub, which covers 30 hectares, offers 360 modern warehouse units. The project’s progressive expansion aligns with the city government’s goal of creating a favorable investment climate while boosting regional economic activity.
Tangerang Deputy Mayor Maryono Hasan emphasized this alignment. “The presence of modern warehouses such as Duta Indah Starhub is vital to supporting industry and trade in Tangerang. With proper facilities, we hope businesses can become more efficient and competitive, both in domestic and international markets,” he said.
According to data from the Tangerang Investment and One-Stop Service Office, realized investment in the city reached IDR 12.58 trillion by the second quarter of 2025. Warehouse property contributed significantly to this figure, showing how logistics-focused developments are driving local growth.
Foreign Investor Interest Grows in Tangerang
Foreign investor interest continues to strengthen as hybrid warehouses gain traction. Duta Indah Starhub has attracted buyers from China, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Investors point to the project’s location near Soekarno-Hatta Airport and its well-managed operations as key advantages.
Basuki reinforced the appeal for international investors, noting, “The complex is well-managed, handling permits and facilities, which is exactly what foreign investors expect.” This streamlined management structure reduces barriers for foreign entrants, making Tangerang a more attractive destination.
Modern Warehouse Facilities for the Digital Era
Modern warehouse facilities are essential in today’s digital economy. Duta Indah Starhub has responded by offering high-ceiling storage units up to 14 meters, as well as features that support automation and centralized monitoring. These facilities help businesses adapt to e-commerce demands, where speed, accuracy, and efficiency are critical.
Marketing Manager Metta explained, “For these hybrid warehouses, we integrate offices, housing, and storage so entrepreneurs can achieve their goals. In today’s digital era, centralization and tighter monitoring are essential.” She noted that the concept was shaped by input from business owners seeking efficiency in their operations.
Warehouse Property Sector Shapes the FutureWarehouse
The warehouse property sector has become one of the largest contributors to Tangerang’s investment achievements. By combining innovative concepts with investor-friendly policies, the city is positioning itself as a key logistics hub.
Head of Tangerang’s Investment Office, Sugihharto Achmad Bagdja, explained, “We believe modern warehouse development by Duta Indah Starhub will significantly improve the local economy. We’ve also collaborated to invite foreign investors, including from China, to explore Tangerang’s potential.”
This sector’s continued expansion highlights its role in shaping the future of regional development while opening doors to global partnerships.
Hybrid Warehouse Investment and Local Growth
Hybrid warehouse investment is transforming Tangerang into more than a logistics hub. It is creating a platform for young entrepreneurs, boosting efficiency for businesses, and generating foreign investor confidence.
With strategic projects like Duta Indah Starhub leading the way, the warehouse property sector is expected to remain a powerful driver of economic growth. Tangerang now stands at the forefront of Indonesia’s evolving investment landscape, with hybrid warehouses offering long-term opportunities for both investors and the local community.
