Benowo – Western Surabaya's Green Fringe District with Golf and Residential Development
Benowo is a district in the western fringe of Surabaya city, near the border with the Gresik Regency – the petrochemical and industrial zone to the northwest of Surabaya that hosts the Gresik industrial estates and the Petrokimia and Semen Gresik factories. The western Surabaya fringe character of the Benowo district creates a more open, less densely urbanized character than the central and northern city districts, with the Surabaya Golf Club Benowo providing a recreational green space amid the expanding residential and commercial development. The Surabaya Golf Club is one of the few large green recreational spaces within the Surabaya city administrative boundary, offering 18-hole golf in a tropical setting. Residential development in the western Surabaya fringe responds to the growing demand from middle and upper-income Surabaya residents seeking more spacious housing in the less congested western zone. The Gresik industrial zone proximity creates employment that benefits the western Surabaya residential market – workers from the Gresik factories and industrial estates often choose to live in the western Surabaya residential areas. The Surabaya outer ring road (MERR and western ring road) provides the transport infrastructure for the western fringe, connecting Benowo to the city center and to the Gresik industrial corridor. The growing western Surabaya residential development creates active commercial and service sector expansion in the Benowo zone. The western Surabaya residential expansion has been driven by the improving outer ring road infrastructure that reduces the commuting time from the western fringe to the city center and the industrial zones. The Surabaya Golf Club Benowo creates the anchor green space for the western residential premium market, providing the recreational infrastructure that supports the upper-income residential development that increasingly characterizes the western Surabaya development corridor.
