The first club opened in 2015 in Kemang, South Jakarta, and offers a wide range of luxury services and facilities designed for socializing, business, and family time.

From
A New
Perspective
Z
U Private Members Club is opening its
doors to the nation’s crème de la crème
for a sophisticated experience in some
of Jakarta’s most strategic locations, such
as Kemang, South Jakarta; Puri Indah, West
Jakarta; and Karawaci. ZU offers a wide range of
services and facilities to its exclusive members
in a stylish, extravagant setting that ensures
comfort and privacy. Each and every element
in ZU was created for one purpose; that is, to
create the most exclusive and welcoming club
in Asia for socialising, business, and spending
time with family. With the first ZU Private
Members Club in Kemang slated to open in
early 2015, Wynne has founded the property not
only with two of his passions in mind— business
and family—but also with a commitment to
providing exceptional service and an array of
world-class facilities.
In January 2008 and at the age of 26, Wynne
decided to make Asia his company’s base and
began to look for distressed assets to takeover.
His company, Shogroup, was structured so as
to allow it to invest in hospitality, entertainment
and leisure venues throughout the region.
In mid-2008, as President Director of Shogroup,
Wynne and Shogroup took over the Canggu Club
asset in Bali, Indonesia, followed by a multitude
of commercial villa properties. Now there is also
a 4,000-square-metre rooftop bar and beach
club, currently under construction, above a
brand new hotel on the island of the gods. He
is also considering yet another new food and
beverage venue at Nusa Dua’s recent hot spot
development, The Bay. Wynne’s apparent ability
to pick trends, aggressive professionalism, and
dogmatic nature inevitably caught the eye of
some of Asia’s most prominent investors.
Along with the self-made entrepreneur, two
such investors have partnered to form PAP
Leisure Group, the vehicle which conceived
Jakarta’s ZU Private Members Club.
The mastermind behind the lavish ZU Private Members Club, James Wynne, is known to be
a man of integrity who is leaving his mark on the world of leisure settings
The planning for the most exclusive members-only club
in the region began almost two years ago. After a year of
research and designing between Wynne and world-renowned
architect, landscape artist, and interior designer Bill Bensley,
the construction of the first lavish, 18,000-square-metre
ZU Private Members Club in Kemang then commenced, and
by that time, the company had already begun building its
second ZU Private Members Club at the St. Moritz-integrated
development area in Puri Indah. With the opening of ZU Kemang
scheduled in the first quarter of 2015, it represents a boyhood
dream for Wynne, now 33, as well as a sense of responsibility and
accomplishment. The ZU name is said to represent a mystery of
an unclear origin or moment in time that will lead to eclectic and
enigmatic experiences for years to come. It would appear that all
the ingredients are there for Jakarta’s newest lifestyle brand to
deliver on their promise.
Today, it is said that the company is one of the fastest-
growing and exciting leisure groups in Indonesia; covering
fitness, recreation, bars and restaurants, and have already
committed to projects worth over US$100 million. The ZU
Private Members Club are set to ignite the Jakarta landscape,
and we look forward to sharing Wynne’s new perspectives
on balancing business and family within some of our key
urban settings. n
