In the early 1970s, the first lady and wife of President Suharto, Siti Hartinah, and other government officials expressed concern over the increasing number of juvenile delinquency cases in Indonesia.

[2][3] In response, the first lady and her organization Rukun Ibu Ampera Pembangunan (RIA) championed efforts to build a recreational outlet for families with a special emphasis on the teenage demographic.

[2] In the mid 2000s,[citation needed] Taman Ria Senayan experienced a significant decrease in visitors as newer amusement parks emerged.

[8] Above roof level, a skydeck is suspended above a large section of the shopping mall and features three observation points, a glass floor, and a 360° view of the Jakarta skyline (accessible only to visitors showing proof of purchase).

[9] Additional facilities include a large paved outdoor area for community activities and concerts named Pulau Satu (Island One)[8] and a half-dome shaped event and exhibition venue called the Dome.

[11][8] The mall's anchor tenants are Cinépolis, Timezone, Samsung Experience Store, Hyundai Motorstudio, 99 Ranch Market, Muji, Lucy in the Sky, and Yougwa Danau Sentani.
