Jakarta Goes Global, Autograph Tower Officially Becomes the Tallest Building in the Southern Hemisphere

KOMPAS.com – The Jakarta skyline is adorned with a new icon that has made history.

The Autograph Tower, Superblock Thamrin Nine, Central Jakarta, was officially named the Tallest Building in the Southern Hemisphere and the World's Highest Outdoor Swimming Pool by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).

This monumental achievement was celebrated at a grand inauguration ceremony on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, organized in collaboration with CTBUH.

At 382.9 meters tall, the Autograph Tower now stands proudly as the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere, surpassing the previous record held by the Q1 Tower in Australia.

But that's not all, the Autograph Tower's uniqueness is further emphasized by the presence of an outdoor swimming pool at 326.3 meters above ground level, making it the highest outdoor swimming pool in the world.

This award is not just a recognition of construction excellence, but also a symbol that brings Jakarta to the global stage.

Autograph Tower represents bold innovation and a world-class urban experience now available in Indonesia's capital city.

International Authority
The CTBUH, as the awarding authority, is a leading international authority on skyscrapers and sustainable urban design.

The CTBUH signage indicates that a building has been recognized for its excellence in design, construction, and contribution to the development of vertical urbanization.

The Autograph Tower signage will be installed in the building's main lobby, permanently signifying its status as the Tallest Building in the Southern Hemisphere and home to the World's Highest Outdoor Swimming Pool.

This recognition from the CTBUH is not only a source of pride but also places Jakarta on the global architectural radar, strengthening the city's appeal as a destination for investment, business, and tourism.

The Autograph Tower, strategically located in the heart of the capital, marks Indonesia's rapid progress in the world-class property industry.

This is not only an engineering feat, but also a symbol of Indonesia's ambition to become a leader in high-performance, human-centered urban environments.

Through this historic moment, Thamrin Nine not only demonstrates Indonesia's capacity to deliver supertall buildings but also paves the way for the birth of more iconic projects that can have a positive impact on society, the environment, and the future of Indonesian cities.
