Jakarta, 26 July 2025 — At the Property Development Masterclass hosted by the Asian Tiger School of Billionaire (Batch #4), our Managing Partner, Adrian Fernando delivered a comprehensive session on the Legal & Permit Framework of Property Development in Indonesia, drawing keen interest from aspiring developers, investors, and professionals in the real estate sector.

During his presentation, Adrian dissected the multi-layered legal architecture that underpins property development—from land acquisition and spatial planning law to construction permits and land registration procedures. His session also included critical insights on foreign ownership regulations and a legal due diligence checklist essential for minimizing risk in development projects.

“Legal certainty isn’t just about ticking boxes,” Adrian said in an interview after the session. “It is the backbone of sustainable property development. The more complex the transaction, the more critical it is to get the legal structure right from the start.”

Key highlights from the session:

• Land Acquisition: How to secure land rights legally and avoid disputes in strategic areas.
• Spatial Planning Law: Understanding alignment with national and regional zoning regulations.
• Permit System: Navigating the OSS, KKPR, PBG, and SLF requirements.
• Land Registration: Legal steps for securing proof of ownership and minimizing administrative defects.
• Foreign Ownership: Current legal framework that governs foreign ownership of Indonesian property.
• Legal Due Diligence: Practical checklist to identify legal red flags before committing capital.

Adrian emphasized the importance of early legal involvement in any property project, warning against treating legal compliance as an afterthought. “Most project failures I’ve seen weren’t due to bad market forecasts—but due to neglected legal fundamentals,” he said. “Due diligence is not a burden—it’s an investment in clarity.” His session was met with engaged questions from participants, many of whom appreciated the clarity he brought to a topic often considered overly technical.

The Asian Tiger School of Billionaire Masterclass continues to be a dynamic platform that bridges theory with practice. With legal practitioner like Adrian Fernando contributing, Batch #4 participants walked away with not just information—but actionable legal wisdom to guide their future projects.
