Gading Serpong is a planned township, 21 km west of Jakarta at Kelapa Dua and Pagedangan, Tangerang Regency of Banten province in Indonesia. Since the township is co-developed, Gading Serpong consists of two main area, Summarecon Serpong (for area developed by PT Summarecon Agung Tbk) and Paramount Serpong (for area developed by PT Paramount Enterprise International or Paramount Land[1]). However, it is often still refereed as Gading Serpong or shortened to GS. With total area of 1,500 hectares,[2] Gading Serpong is one of the elite planned satellite cities in Western Greater Jakarta (South Tangerang and Tangerang Regency), adjacent to Lippo Karawaci to the west, BSD City to the south, and Alam Sutera to the east.[3] HistoryThe township development started in 1998 by PT Jakarta Baru Cosmopolitan (JBC),[4] which is a joint venture by Keris Group (who is known for their Batik Keris brand) and a reputable developer, Summarecon.[5] In 2004, to accelarate the development of Gading Serpong, Summarecon and Keris Group agreed to dissolve JBC, and separate the JBC's area equally, for each develop and manage their own respective area.[4][6] The Summaercon part is known as Summarecon Serpong, while the Keris Group area was then known as Ambassador Gading Serpong.[6] Both of the companies do not view each other as competitor, since both companies has a different view on development strategy.[6] In 2006, Ambassador Gading Serpong is taken over by Paramount Lake, and rename the area as Paramount Land.[6] Educational facilitiesTransportGading Serpong has direct access to Jakarta-Merak Toll Road and Jakarta Outer Ring Road.

This phase is set to enhance connectivity and ease of transportation for the residents and commuters in these regions. One of the key stations in this phase will be located in Kebon Nanas, Tangerang. This station will serve as a significant hub for passengers, providing convenient access to various destinations across the MRT network. The expansion aims to reduce traffic congestion, promote the use of public transportation, and contribute to the overall development of the metropolitan area. The inclusion of this route through northern Gading Serpong will cater to the growing demand for efficient and reliable transportation solutions in the region. By integrating this new line with existing and future transportation infrastructure, Jakarta’s MRT Phase 3 is poised to support sustainable urban mobility and improve the quality of life for the people in Greater Jakarta.
