Bintaro Jaya is a planned township located in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. It is developed by PT Jaya Real Property Tbk (formerly PT Bintaro Jaya). The development of the township began within South Jakarta in 1979 and is expanded further to South Tangerang in Banten province. The township is built as a satellite city for Jakarta, with a total land area of about 1000 hectares. The name Bintaro is derived from the Bintaro Village, which also takes the name of Bintaro plant (Cerbera manghas), whereas Jaya came from the name of the developer. Bintaro Jaya along with Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) is one of the largest township in Indonesia.
Bintaro Jaya started being developed in 1979 by PT Jaya Real Property Tbk, a subsidiary of PT Pembangunan Jaya whose majority shares are owned by the DKI Jakarta Regional Government. For 25 years, Jaya Property has been known as one of the capital's real estate companies. PT Pembangunan Jaya carries out the construction and management of housing and property projects, including Graha Raya, Puri Jaya, Plaza Bintaro Jaya, Plaza Slipi Jaya, and the Senen Trade Center block IVâÂÂV.
Bintaro Jaya was the first to introduce the concept of a "garden city" in Indonesia. 26 years later, Bintaro Jaya uses the slogan "The Professional's City" to reflect its marketing strategy as the residence of choice for Jakarta's intellectuals and professionals. It houses a variety of facilities to support the physical and social environment as designed to meet the residents' needs for comfortable housing.
The township is originally divided into 9 sectors. Sectors 1 and 2 of the township are located in Bintaro district of South Jakarta, whereas sectors 3 to 9 are located in Pondok Aren and Ciputat districts of South Tangerang. The central business district of Bintaro Jaya is located in Sector 7, hosting offices, malls, apartments, and retail shophouses.
In its expansion, districts are added as the developer transitions into a more cluster-based residential development. Some of the districts are named based on neighborhoods in Jakarta (Menteng, Senayan, Kebayoran).
The township has many office buildings along with the residential clusters. There are hospitals, educational institutions, shopping malls, mosques and churches, a driving range and playground.
Bintaro Jaya also has a direct access from the Ulujami-Serpong Toll Road (on the Pondok Aren exit at KM 5-6), as well as KunciranâÂÂSerpong Toll Road (on the Parigi exit at KM 21)

Transjakarta operates one premium feeder route called "Royaltrans" to connect the township with Jakarta.
