Both Arcelon buildings in Bendungan Hilir sit at Taman Bendungan Jatiluhur in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta. The list below is measured from that address. It is the most useful thing to read before a viewing, because a neighbourhood description is an opinion and a distance is not.
Transport
| Stop | Distance |
|---|---|
| Halte TransJakarta Gerbang Pemuda | 700 m |
| Halte TransJakarta Semanggi | 700 m |
| Halte TransJakarta Bendungan Hilir | 800 m |
| Stasiun MRT Bendungan Hilir | 1.0 km |
Three TransJakarta haltes inside 800 metres is unusual, and it is the practical reason to be here. Stasiun MRT Bendungan Hilir is the tenth of thirteen stations on the north-south line: three stops from Bundaran HI, two from Dukuh Atas and four from Blok M, with the whole 15.7 km line crossed in under 30 minutes. It was the fifth busiest station on the network in January 2026, handling 308,421 passengers that month.
MRT fares are distance-based, a base fare plus a small charge per station passed and capped end to end; a TransJakarta journey is one flat fare however far you ride. Either way, the commute is a small line in a monthly budget. How the fares work and the case for skipping a car entirely are in choosing where to live in Jakarta by commute.
Offices
| Building | Distance |
|---|---|
| Wisma GKBI | 650 m |
| Jakarta Mori Tower | 750 m |
| Intiland Tower | 1.0 km |
| Plaza Sentral | 1.0 km |
If your office is one of these four, your commute is a walk. That is the point of Bendungan Hilir and the reason it does not appear on the usual expatriate-area lists: it is a residential pocket inside the office district rather than a suburb you travel in from. Our full guide to living in Bendungan Hilir covers the neighbourhood itself — its boundaries, its history and what it is like to live in.
If your office is somewhere else, the method is the same one we recommend to everybody: start from the office, list the stations within about twenty minutes of it, and only then look at housing. An address is worth what its commute is worth.
Everyday shopping and eating
| Place | Distance |
|---|---|
| Circle K Bendungan Jati Luhur | 86 m |
| Benhil Traditional Market | 500 m |
| Plaza Semanggi | 1.4 km |
| Senayan Park | 2.1 km |
| Citywalk Sudirman | 2.2 km |
The 86-metre convenience store is a smaller detail than the MRT station and a larger one than it looks: it is the difference between a late-evening errand being a decision and being nothing at all. The Benhil traditional market at 500 metres is the other end of the same spectrum, and its food court serves West Sumatran dishes and soto Betawi by the portion — well below what an inexpensive restaurant meal costs across Jakarta, and the cheapest reliable way to eat in the neighbourhood.
Which of those two economies you default to moves your monthly food budget more than almost any other choice you make. How to plan for it is in our guide to budgeting for a month in Central Jakarta.
Seeing it yourself
Distances on a page are a filter, not a decision. Walk from the door to Halte Bendungan Hilir and to the MRT entrance once, at eight in the morning on a weekday, and you will know more than any listing can tell you — including whether the 800 metres crosses anything you would rather it did not.
Both buildings let monthly with a one-month minimum: Arcelon Executive and Arcelon Premiere, with electricity, internet, room cleaning, laundry and tax inside the price. Premiere costs more than Executive, and Arcelon quotes current rates for both on WhatsApp. The difference between them is set out in Arcelon Executive vs Premiere.
