Located next to the Jurong Town Hall national monument and a planned park, the plot offers what the authority described as a strategic opportunity for developers to partner the government in shaping the district\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n
“The launch of the site today marks an important step towards shaping JLD (Jurong Lake District) into the largest mixed-use business node outside Singapore\u2019s city centre,” URA said.<\/p>\n
The tender for the site will close at noon on Nov 17.<\/p>\n
Jurong Lake District is a key part of Singapore\u2019s decentralisation strategy aimed at bringing jobs and amenities closer to homes.<\/p>\n
Once fully developed, the more than 410ha district is expected to provide more than 100,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes, while serving close to 1 million residents and more than 3,000 companies in the western part of Singapore.<\/p>\n
The government has invested significantly in key infrastructure to drive the transformation of the region, said URA, noting how two new MRT lines – Jurong Region Line and Cross Island Line – will serve the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cross Island Line will save commuters about 20 minutes of travel time between Jurong Lake District and Pasir Ris Central compared to today,\u201d said URA.<\/p>\n
Plans to connect the Jurong Region Line to the Cross Island Line and Circle Line are also expected to cut travel time between the west and the city centre by up to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Other key developments in the pipeline include the new Science Centre, slated to open at the end of 2027. Jurong Gateway Hub – an integrated development comprising a bus interchange, offices, shops, a library, community club and sports facilities – is expected to be completed in 2029.<\/p>\n
Together with the new site, these projects are expected to boost the district\u2019s vibrancy and support its vision as a \u201clive-work-play destination\u201d, said URA.<\/p>\n
It noted that some government agencies, including the Land Transport Authority and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, are also studying plans to move their offices to the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
