A warehouse for lease in Indonesia’s main industrial corridor, the Bekasi, Karawang and Tangerang belt east and west of Jakarta, costs roughly Rp77,000 to Rp81,000 per square metre per month as of Q2 2026, based on rental warehouse averages from Cushman & Wakefield. Industrial leases typically run two to three years with a three-month deposit, according to Colliers, and the rent is only part of the bill. This guide covers what leasing costs, how warehouse and factory space differ, what occupiers are asking for right now, and what to check before signing.
The short version:
Rent: Greater Jakarta warehouses averaged Rp81,795 per m² per month in Q2 2026, up 2.5% on a year earlier (Cushman & Wakefield).
Availability: occupancy sat at 91.9% in the same report, leaving limited vacant space.
Extra costs: a deposit, service charge, VAT at an effective 11%, a 10% final tax on rent and stamp duty.
Specification: warehouses and factories are different products. Clear height, floor load and power decide which one you need.
Documents: check the landlord’s land title, building approval (PBG) and certificate of fitness (SLF) before you sign.
How much does a warehouse for lease in Indonesia cost in 2026?
A warehouse for lease in Indonesia’s Greater Jakarta market averaged Rp81,795 per square metre per month in Q2 2026, based on Cushman & Wakefield’s Greater Jakarta industrial MarketBeat. That is 2.5% higher than a year earlier.
Location moves the number more than anything else. In the same report, Bekasi averaged Rp81,040, Tangerang Rp80,000 and Karawang–Purwakarta Rp77,000 per m² per month. Warehouses inside Jakarta itself averaged Rp102,250, while Bogor came in at Rp68,683. The report does not say whether these rents include service charge, so ask every landlord exactly what the quoted figure covers.
Space is tight as well. Cushman & Wakefield put Greater Jakarta occupancy at 91.9% in Q2 2026, with 93,618 m² of new supply completed in the quarter. Colliers, which tracks a different set of buildings, reported 95.8% occupancy in Q1 2026. For anyone searching for a warehouse for rent in Indonesia, that means shortlisting early and deciding quickly when a good unit appears.
Why lease inside an industrial estate?
Leasing inside an industrial estate (kawasan industri) gives you a site that is already zoned, serviced and set up for industrial use. For manufacturers it is usually also a legal requirement. Government Regulation (PP) 20/2024 requires industrial companies to locate in an industrial estate, with limited exceptions, such as regencies or cities that have no industrial estate or whose estate plots are already full.
The practical benefits show up in utilities and approvals:
Power: estates east of Jakarta such as Jababeka, MM2100 and EJIP are served by Cikarang Listrindo’s private power network, so your electricity contract there may be with Listrindo rather than PLN. Ask the estate which supplier serves your plot.
Environmental approval: under PP 20/2024, a tenant prepares a detailed environmental management and monitoring plan (RKL-RPL rinci) that is approved by the estate company.
Access: KIIC in Karawang sits at kilometre 46 of the Jakarta–Cikampek toll road, about 60 km from Tanjung Priok port, according to KIIC. Our guide to industrial parks near ports compares estates on distance to port.
What is the difference between a warehouse and a factory for rent?
A warehouse for rent is built to store and move goods, while a factory for rent in Indonesia is built for production. The difference shows up in three numbers: clear height, floor load and power supply.
Warehouses
Modern logistics warehouses are tall and strong. ESR Karawang Logistics Park 1 offers 12.2 m clear height and floors rated at 3 tonnes per m². One of KIIC’s rental warehouses lists 10 m effective height, and KIIC rates its warehouse floors at 3 to 3.5 tonnes per m². Height pays off in racking, and floor load matters once forklifts and heavy pallets are involved.
Ready-built factories
Ready-built factories, often called standard factory buildings, trade height for power and layout. Batamindo’s Type E semi-detached factory has 7.9 m clear height to the underside of the beam, a ground floor rated at 15 kN/m² (about 1.5 tonnes per m²), a mezzanine office and 1 MVA of power per factory. When you compare factory space for rent in Indonesia, check that the power supply matches your machines before you look at the rent.
Bonded zones
A bonded zone (kawasan berikat) is a customs-bonded site where imported or locally sourced goods are stored and processed or combined before export or release into the domestic market, with import duties suspended, under PMK 131/PMK.04/2018 as amended. Export-oriented manufacturers looking for a factory for lease in Indonesia often ask for bonded status from the start, because adding it later is a separate customs process.
What are occupiers looking for in 2026?
On Yardzeal’s own requirements board, most current lease demand is for factories, and many factory requests are large. Of the 77 active requirements on the Yardzeal client requirements page as of 30 September 2026, 44 are requests to lease a warehouse or factory. Of those, 32 are for factory space (two bonded, one open to buying) and 12 are for warehouses.
Size splits sharply by use:
Factory requests: 15 of the 32 need 5,000 m² or more.
Warehouse requests: 8 of the 12 need less than 1,000 m².
Location: 21 of the 44 lease requests name Greater Jakarta, six name Batam and six name Central Java.
Market: 12 of the 44 mention export sales.
Across the wider market, Cushman & Wakefield named automotive, FMCG and logistics companies as the main warehouse occupiers in Q2 2026. Anyone pricing warehouse space for rent in Indonesia is competing with those sectors for the same units.
What does a lease cost beyond the monthly rent?
Beyond the rent, budget for a security deposit, service charge, VAT, income tax on the rent and stamp duty, and agree in writing who pays each one.
Security deposit: usually three months of rent plus service charge, according to Colliers’ Jakarta occupier guide. It is normally refundable at the end of the lease, subject to its terms.
Service charge: covers estate and building maintenance. Colliers notes that quoted industrial rents typically include it, but confirm this in the lease.
VAT (PPN): a VAT-registered landlord charges VAT at 12% on a tax base of 11/12 of the rent, an effective 11%, under PMK 131/2024.
Income tax (PPh Article 4(2)): rent on land and buildings carries a 10% final tax under PP 34/2017. If your company is a withholding agent, such as a domestic corporate taxpayer, you withhold it from the payment; otherwise the landlord pays it.
Stamp duty: Rp10,000 on the signed lease under Law 10/2020.
Fit-out and exit: racking, offices and extra power are usually at your cost, and many leases require the unit to be restored when you leave.
A quick example: a 2,000 m² warehouse at Rp80,000 per m² costs Rp160 million a month before VAT. VAT adds about Rp17.6 million a month, and a three-month deposit comes to Rp480 million, assuming the quoted rent already includes service charge.
How do you lease a warehouse or factory in an industrial estate?
Leasing in an industrial estate follows six steps, and doing them in order avoids paying a deposit on space you cannot use.
Write the specification first: floor area, clear height, floor load, power in kVA, loading docks and office space.
Shortlist estates by location and access, then compare them side by side with our industrial park comparison.
Confirm your activity is allowed. Your business licence runs through OSS under PP 28/2025, and your business code (KBLI) and spatial approval (KKPR) must fit the site.
Inspect the unit and verify documents: the landlord’s land certificate and its expiry date, the building approval (PBG, or an older IMB) and a valid SLF. Our land due diligence guide explains how.
Negotiate the lease: term, annual rent increases, deposit, service charge, rent-free fit-out period, renewal option, early exit and restoration.
Sign and set up: pay stamp duty, arrange tax withholding and open utility accounts. A notarial deed is common for large leases but not legally required.
Which mistakes cost tenants the most?
The costliest warehouse and factory lease mistakes in Indonesia come from documents and capacity, not from the rent.
Leasing past the landlord’s title. Estate land is usually held under a right to build (HGB), which can run up to 80 years in total across its grant and extensions, but any single certificate may expire sooner. Ask for the date. Our HGB guide explains the rules.
Assuming the SLF covers your use. A certificate issued for storage may not cover production or hazardous goods.
Under-sizing power. Check the kVA available on day one, not what might be possible later.
Ignoring estate rules. Each estate’s rules (tata tertib) set operating hours, truck access and waste handling.
Should you lease or buy?
Lease a warehouse or factory in Indonesia if you need to start quickly, are testing a market or expect your space needs to change. Buy if you plan long-term production with heavy fit-out. Industrial land in Greater Jakarta averaged about Rp3,053,000 per m² in Q2 2026, up 11.3% year on year (Cushman & Wakefield), and that is before construction. Foreign-owned PT PMA companies can hold land under HGB title. See our industrial land in Indonesia guide for the buying route.
Checklist before signing
The specification (height, floor load, power) matches your operation.
The rent quote states what it includes: service charge, VAT or neither.
The landlord’s HGB certificate outlasts your lease term.
The PBG and SLF are valid and fit your intended use.
Your KBLI is permitted in the estate.
The deposit, restoration and early-exit terms are written into the lease.
Tax withholding responsibilities are agreed.
FAQ
Can a foreign company lease a warehouse in Indonesia?
Yes. A foreign-owned company set up as a PT PMA can sign a lease in its own name. It needs a business licence through OSS with a KBLI code that matches what it will do in the building, and the building’s approvals must fit that use.
How long is a typical warehouse lease in Indonesia?
Industrial leases typically run two to three years, according to Colliers’ Jakarta occupier guide. Longer terms, renewal options and rent reviews are negotiated case by case, so put them in writing before you pay the deposit.
Is it cheaper to rent a warehouse outside an industrial estate?
A standalone warehouse may quote a lower rent, but industrial companies generally have to locate inside an estate under PP 20/2024. A building outside an estate may also lack industrial zoning, enough power or the right SLF, which can cost more to fix than the rent saves.
Who pays the 10% tax on warehouse rent?
The 10% final income tax on rent (PPh Article 4(2)) is the landlord’s tax. If the tenant is a designated withholding agent, such as a domestic company, it withholds the tax from the rent and pays it to the state; otherwise the landlord pays it directly.
What is the biggest risk when leasing a factory?
The biggest risk is signing for a building you cannot legally or physically use. Check that the landlord’s HGB outlasts your lease, that the SLF covers production, and that the power supply is available from day one.
Can I lease space in a bonded zone?
Yes. Bonded zones (kawasan berikat) are licensed by Indonesian Customs under PMK 131/PMK.04/2018 as amended. Check whether the building already has bonded status and what your company must apply for, because the customs process runs separately from the lease.
