4 years is needed by a team of 2,000 people to resolve GB, precisely in September 1942. When completed, parts of the building including the main building itself GB in which there is the central post office, library (PTT), as well as telephone and telegraph. Apparently, the splendor and uniqueness presented by the Sate was not done by Ir. J. Gerber alone, because he was getting a lot of input from the Dutch maestro in the art of architecture, namely Dr. Hendrik Petrus Berlage.

During the manufacturing process and its completion, Gedung Sate in Bandung earned high praise from many walks of life. On average compliment containing about how mempesonanya building has architectural style is different from the other, to refer to the style as Indo Europeeschen Architectuur Stijl (Indo-European architectural style). D. Ruhl also wrote that according to the Sate is building in the style of the most beautiful architecture in Indonesia. His writings can be found in a book with the title Bandoeng en haar Hoogvlakte published in 1952. Another opinion arises from two well-known Dutch architect namely Cor Pashier and Jam Wittenberg, where according to them Gedung Sate is the result of a merger of two experimental architectural styles, namely Indonesia and Europe.

In the draft blueprint GB, Gerber brings together several architectural styles, such as the windows, the theme used was Moorish Spain. Different styles are used for the overall building style Italian Rennaisance. For the tower itself, Gerber choose the style of Asia, especially the roof style temple in Bali and pagoda in Thailand. GB seen on the roof, top decorated with "skewer" which has 6 pieces of round objects.

On December 3, 1945, the bloody events which occurred the incident claimed the lives of seven young men who risked their lives to maintain the beautiful building of Gurkha troops who tried to attack. In memory of all seven young men who bravely pawn lives, made a memorial stone as material and placed on the back page of the Sate. This monument was then transferred on December 3, 1970 on the orders of the Minister of Public Works.

In 1980, GB then known as the Office of the Governor. This makes sense because the building later became the center of government activity in West Java Province. Earlier, the central government in West Java is located in Building Kerta Mukti in Jalan Braga, Bandung. Work space for the governor are on the 2nd floor On the floor, there is also room for the Deputy Governor, Assistant Bureau, and the Regional Secretary.
