The only residential site in that area is those existing old apartments along Yuan Ching Road, while all commercial activities will be located next tom JE mrt station.

    considering that we already have Universal Studio and Legoland across the border, so I believe the future attractions at JLD will have to be something of similar scale in order to be viable. And the casino part is simply a good source of revenue for potential operator to justify such multi billion dollar investment.
    I didn't really keep track of the golf courses. I think most of them should go. The land should be utilized for parks that are more accessible to the public. Two casinos are enough to generate the buzz. We need to have something more different to attract tourists dollars.

    A park certainly doesn't cut it as an attraction good enough to attract hotel operator to invest in Jurong lake. It used to be call Jurong park where people go par Thor jogging fishing etc.

    That is true.
    I have always wondered why is there a need to build a Jurong Hotel.

    According to ura :
    Jurong Gateway, the
    commercial precinct; and Lakeside, the leisure precinct.

    To be a exciting family-friendly attraction for local residents and tourist, it will have to be something of the scale of universal studio to cut it. And with STB involved, it will have to be something BIG. If they can pull this off without casino, that will be create, but I am doubtful.

    Lakeside leisure precinct, which covers 220ha of land around Jurong
    Lake and 70ha of water body, will be developed into an exciting leisure
    destination for local residents and tourists.
    Set amid a huge water body
    and lush greenery, it will be transformed into an exciting destination
    with family-friendly attractions and recreation amenities in the coming
    years.
    The Singapore Tourism Board, National Parks Board, URA, and
    other relevant agencies are currently firming up the development plans
    and marketing the area to prospective investors. More details will be
    announced when ready.

    Here is a quote from Iswaran speech during the tourism destination investment conference asia recently. With STB championing this, I am sure something big should happen at JLD.

    13 And beyond that, and this is important for an investor's perspective, STB is working closely with stakeholders and investors to anchor more unique attractions and innovative concepts for 3 new tourism precincts that have been identified: the Jurong Lake District, Mandai, and the Kallang Riverside. These new growth precincts will be developed along the themes of edutainment (combining education and entertainment), biodiversity and leisure-lifestyle respectively. Besides attractions, there will also be a need for other tourism-related infrastructure such as hotels, F&B offerings and retail services. Therefore, I invite all of you and your extended business network to seriously look at all these opportunities and get in touch with STB if you have an innovative tourism concept, big or small, and would like to take it further.

    As I have already mentioned previously that sometime BIG is going to happen at Jurong Lake District and no one seems to believe me.

    IR or no IR, I am pretty sure there will be a big theme park coming. Perhaps it could be Universal Studio phase phase 2.

    watch this space.

    There is no hurry actually. Shifting from A to B is a zero sum game for the government. What is more important for government now is to lay the foundation to spice up the area and then tender out the plot of land currently occupied by SC to private developers.

    NM is prediction is off by a huge margin. I wonder why media ever bother to ask for their opinion.

    Mr Mak added that the site would attract about five to 10 bids, with the estimated land price to be S$153 million to S$170 million or about S$750 to S$833 psf per plot ratio.

    Raffles City at Jurong East?

    THE mall in the upcoming Westgate development in Jurong East has seen healthy interest a year ahead of its targeted opening in December next year.

    CapitaMalls Asia (CMA), CapitaMalls Trust and CapitaLand, which own the mixed development through a joint venture, said yesterday that to date, about half the retail space has been pre-leased.

    This is despite rents being generally higher than at CMA's two other Jurong East properties, IMM Building and JCube. Westgate commands rents of $16 to $18 per sq ft per month (psf pm) - at the upper end of the $10 to $18 psf pm for all three properties.

    Among the Westgate mall's anchor tenants are Isetan, which will run its first supermarket outside Orchard Road, and Food Republic; other tenants include Yamaha music school, Paradise Dynasty restaurant and Paul Bakery.

    The venture said that the mall would tap a captive market of more than a million people - including middle-income families and working professionals - living or working in western Singapore, though its catchment will come from across the island.

    That the mall will be connected to the Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and LendLease's JEM mall will bring it traffic; its link to the Jurong East MRT station and proximity to the Jurong East bus interchange will also bring some 1.8 million commuters a month, the venture said.

    The mall will have a net lettable area of 416,000 sq ft - about the same size as the retail area in Raffles City Singapore.

    "In short, we are bringing Raffles City to Jurong East," said Wee Su Lin, the general manager of Westgate

    The mall will have a thematic playground designed by an American theme park designer who has worked on attractions at Universal Studios and Disneyland.

    It will also have a gym, a childcare centre and a naturally-ventilated area called the Courtyard, a covered outdoor shopping area bathed in natural light and cooled by jet blowers and air diffusers.

    Besides the seven floors of shops of this family and lifestyle mall, Westgate will have a 20-storey office building called Westgate Tower, into which the CapitaLand Group will move from end-2014.

    The Westgate development is part of Jurong Gateway, which the Urban Redevelopment Authority has earmarked as one of three key commercial hubs outside the city centre that will provide jobs closer to where people live.

    knowing singaporeans, if IMM offer free carpark, I am sure people visiting hospital or shopping around the area will park at IMM. perhaps they could offer parking redeem with minimum purchase etc
