The Jurong area of Singapore is set to undergo a major transformation due to the potential launches of new residential developments. These developments will provide much needed housing in the area and help to alleviate the pent up demand for housing.
The government’s plans to bring new homes, along with new businesses, recreational facilities and amenities to the Jurong Lake District (JLD) will be complemented by the redevelopment of JCube’s site into the JCube Residence. This 40-storey residential and commercial development will be connected to Jurong East MRT interchange, Westgate and IMM Building via a covered elevated pedestrian network. It is estimated that the units of the new development will have a price tag of S$2,000 to S$2,100 per square foot (psf), and is expected to launch for sale in the second half of 2023.
Adding to the potential launches in the area is the upcoming 6.8-hectare mega white site on the confirmed list of the first half of the 2023 government land sales programme. This site will be sold to a master developer who will build up to 375,000 square metres (sq m) in gross floor area (GFA). This includes 1,760 private homes, 150,000 sq m of office space, and 75,000 sq m of complementary uses such as for retail, hotel or community.

The Jurong area is set to become a vibrant hub with the potential launches of new residential developments.

The first of the potential launches is the 6.8-hectare mega white site, which is on the confirmed list of the first half of the 2023 government land sales programme.

This includes 1,760 private homes, 150,000 sq m of office space and 75,000 sq m of complementary uses such as for retail, hotel or community.
The second potential launch is the JCube Condo development. The move comes after CapitaLand Development (CLD), the development arm of CapitaLand Group, obtained provisional permission from Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority to redevelop the JCube site. The new development is expected to have an average selling price of S$2,100 per square foot (psf) and will be connected to Jurong East MRT interchange, Westgate and IMM Building via J-Walk, a JCube Condo covered elevated pedestrian network in the JLD. Eventually, JCube Condo will be linked to the upcoming Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub, which boasts a bus interchange, public library, community club and sports centre, among other amenities near to JCube Condo.
