However, it was not only in business where he left his mark. His passion for making a positive difference in society was evident in his philanthropic efforts. Through initiatives like the Intiland Teduh program, he worked tirelessly to improve the living conditions of underserved communities in Jakarta and East Java, bringing home renovation projects and new affordable housing to those in need. His efforts with Habitat International further demonstrated his commitment to providing dignity and shelter for Indonesia’s less fortunate.

In 2018, his remarkable contributions were recognised when he was awarded the 2018 Indonesia Real Estate Personality of the Year at the PropertyGuru Indonesia Property Awards. This recognition not only celebrated his professional accomplishments, but also acknowledged his genuine dedication to the betterment of Indonesia’s real estate sector and society as a whole.

Hendro Gondokusumo’s legacy is one of vision, leadership, and selfless giving. He leaves behind a thriving business empire and a long list of communities whose lives were touched by his work. His influence will continue to inspire future generations of real estate professionals, philanthropists, and leaders who aim to balance business success with social responsibility.

His story is not just one of professional achievement but of a life well-lived, dedicated to building not only properties but a better, more inclusive future. His legacy will remain a guiding light in the industry, reminding us all that success is measured not only by what we build, but by the difference we make along the way.
