Background
Tony Tandijono began working in real estate during Indonesia’s urban expansion period in the late twentieth century. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was involved in the planning and execution of multiple residential developments across Jakarta.
These projects ranged from planned housing estates to premium villas and townhouses, addressing increasing demand for organised residential infrastructure during a period of economic growth and population concentration in Indonesia’s capital.
International expansion
Seeking opportunities beyond Indonesia, Tony Tandijono entered the Chinese property market in the early 2010s. He established Tangshan Most Elite Real Estate Co., Ltd., marking his first major international venture.
The company focused on land acquisition and residential development in Hebei Province, a region benefiting from industrial growth, infrastructure investment and its proximity to the Beijing–Tianjin metropolitan corridor.
Developments in partnership
Tony Tandijono’s operations in China gained wider attention following a partnership with China Vanke Co., Ltd., one of the country’s largest real estate companies.

Sales commenced in September 2018, with a significant proportion of units sold in the initial months. By August 2020, the project’s initial launch phase had achieved full sales completion.
Vanke Guanlan
In 2021, the partnership introduced Vanke Guanlan, a villa-focused residential development comprising 14 buildings. The project is distinguished by its accessibility to Tangshan’s urban infrastructure and its connectivity to major cities such as Beijing and Tianjin.
The development is located near commercial centres, healthcare facilities and educational institutions, aligning with the needs of high-end residential buyers.
