The government will launch the Town Hall Link white site at Jurong Lake District for tender in July, under the confirmed list for the second half of 2026, Mr Chee said.<\/p>\n
This comes amid plans to develop the district as Singapore\u2019s largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre, integrating homes and workspaces with retail, dining and entertainment options.<\/p>\n
The proposed development could yield up to 1,200 homes, alongside office space and a range of uses including retail, F&B and entertainment.<\/p>\n
Mr Chee highlighted the district\u2019s strong connectivity – with four MRT lines expected to serve the area by 2032 – as a key factor underpinning its growth as a major business and lifestyle hub.<\/p>\n
“We will continue to take a long-term approach in planning our city – continue to build more homes as well as reimagine spaces to integrate working, living and playing, to create a vibrant, resilient and sustainable living environment for everyone,” he added.<\/p>\n
Analysts said the Town Hall Link site could play a pivotal role in the development of Jurong Lake District.<\/p>\n
Singapore Realtors Inc (SRI) head of research and data analytics Mohan Sandrasegeran described the inclusion of the white site as a “significant milestone” in the district’s transformation.<\/p>\n
“As Singapore’s largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre, Jurong Lake District is expected to accommodate a growing concentration of homes, offices and lifestyle amenities,” said Mr Sandrasegeran.<\/p>\n
“The introduction of a large integrated mixed-use development at Town Hall Link demonstrates the government’s confidence in the district’s long-term growth potential and reflects ongoing efforts to bring jobs, homes and amenities closer together.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
ERA Singapore chief executive Marcus Chu noted that the site was previously part of a larger master developer concept before being reconfigured into more manageable parcels, potentially making it more attractive to a wider pool of developers.<\/span><\/p>\n
