PosIND (Pos Indonesia) introduced a new creative space for the people of Surabaya through the soft launching of Pos Bloc Surabaya, at the Pos Bloc Building, Jalan Kebonrojo, Surabaya City, on January 28. The soft launching of Pos Bloc Surabaya was held through the "Conseria Surabaya" event. This event marks the introduction of Pos Bloc Surabaya to the general public, that there is a creative hub space that can be enjoyed together. President Director of PT Pos Indonesia (Persero), Faizal R Djoemadi said that Pos Bloc Surabaya is Pos Indonesia's commitment to providing creative space for the community, both business actors, communities and other groups. He hopes that the presence of Pos Bloc Surabaya can boost the economy of the people of Surabaya.

Post Bloc Surabaya is on Jalan Kebon Rojo, Surabaya, precisely in the building that used to be the Surabaya Post Office. Built on an area of 13,950 m2, Pos Bloc is a creative space for holding various arts, cultural events, creative community meetings, entertainment, and curated MSME business empowerment. Not only as a creative space, Pos Bloc Surabaya is also a historical tourist destination because this building is a 1.5 century old Dutch cultural heritage site.

The Surabaya Post Bloc Building is also known for its history as the place where the First President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno attended Hogere Burgerschool (HBS). Therefore, Pos Bloc also presents the Soekarno Gallery as a form of memorabilia of the Proclaimer's footsteps in this building. Apart from that, there is also a Postal Gallery which displays postal items such as stamps, old postal items, and even motorbikes used by postmen.

President Director of PT Pos Indonesia Faizal Rochmad Djoemadi said that currently the renovation process for this building which is more than 100 years old has been completed. Currently, the party is in the curation process for MSME players who will later make Pos Bloc a showcase for their creative products. According to him, MSMEs will start joining next March.
