The area of resident is 37.6 ha, it has been built 2 985 units of landed houses, however it can accommodate 20 976 units of flats. The green open space of landed housing development can produce 16 871 kg d–1 of oxygen, however the development of flats can produce 107 994 kg d–1. The calculated price of flats is IDR 190,000,000 per unit. This price is lower than IDR 284,400,000 as the standard price of flats in East Java Province.
