    MND has signed a 30-year lease to take up 29,300 sq m of office space. This makes up around 27 per cent of the development's maximum gross floor area of 107,098 sq m.

    According to the ministry, this is the first time a government agency is committing to a long-term lease with a private developer at its development project.

    Property developer CapitaLand is scheduled to relocate to a new home in early 2015, occupying around 160,000 sq ft across 11 floors in the new 20-storey Westgate Tower (pictured).

    “The relocation will be a milestone for CapitaLand Group. For the first time, all business units in Singapore and the corporate office will operate from a single location,” said President and CEO Liew Mun Leong.

    “We want to create a conducive environment that will help to further improve productivity across the Group and achieve work-life integration,” added Liew.

    CapitaLand will still maintain an office at Capital Tower for staff to easily coordinate with business partners and clients in the city.

    Westgate Tower is jointly developed by CapitaLand, CapitaMalls Asia and CapitaMall Trust Management Limited, which manages CapitaMall Trust. In January, the parties broke ground for the development which will include a 416,000 sq ft lifestyle and family mall scheduled to open by end-2013 and a 320,000 sq ft office tower to be completed by end-2014.

    “We are pleased that Westgate, sited within Jurong Gateway - the biggest commercial hub outside the Central Business District - will provide the ideal location for the Group to be housed under one roof. We look forward to playing a significant role in transforming the Jurong Lake District into a key regional business hub,” Liew said.

    Room-hungry RWS finds its answers in Jurong hotel site

    By Lee U-wen


    WITH its six luxury hotels filled to the rafters and a constant stream of visitors still flowing in, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) now knows where to park them: at its upcoming hotel development in Jurong, with possibly budget-style hotels at Iskandar Malaysia in the works.

    That is because it wants to reserve its Sentosa rooms only for its top-end guests while still putting out the welcome mat for other visitors. It feels that its four-star hotel at Jurong, which will have between 450 and 500 rooms, is in an ideal location to cater to a growing number of visitors from Malaysia, especially those from the mass-market tour-and-travel segment.

    The hotel is expected to open sometime in late 2014 or early 2015, said RWS's chief executive Tan Hee Teck at a press conference timed to coincide with the grand opening of the integrated resort (IR).

    This was the first time that RWS had publicly commented on its hotel project since the Urban Redevelopment Authority announced two weeks ago that Tamerton Pte Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of RWS, had outbid 10 other firms for a 0.9 ha land parcel in Jurong Town Hall Road. The winning bid, at $238.2 million, was a record high for hotel land here.

    The yet-to-be-named hotel, which is still at the conceptualisation phase, is in a "very high growth area" between the Second Link border in Tuas and RWS on Sentosa, said Mr Tan.

    The hotel will be a five-minute walk from the Jurong East MRT station and nine train stops from Harbourfront station, which is nearest to RWS. A shuttle bus or taxi ride from Jurong to RWS would take 15 to 20 minutes.

    Mr Tan said: "It's a great location as far as we are concerned. We need to grow the number of rooms to be able to make RWS even more successful than what it is today."

    He chaired the hour-long press conference with Lim Kok Thay, chairman of the Malaysia-based Genting Group, RWS's parent company.

    "We have an incentive to try and complete the Jurong hotel earlier, since the high season (at the end of the year) is our busiest period," said Mr Tan, adding that the land has already been paid for and the company would want the hotel to be ready "as fast as possible".

    Mr Lim identified the shortage of hotel rooms as one of the biggest challenges facing RWS at the moment. The IR has 1,500 rooms across its six luxury hotels, and is currently experiencing "close to 90 per cent" occupancy.

    Technically, this is considered full capacity because the IR has to set aside a certain number of rooms for its VIP gamblers at all times, especially those who may show up at the last minute.

    "We cannot afford to put low-end hotels here on Sentosa as this is very expensive land. Our 1,500 rooms are very precious to us. We have to position them for the higher-yielding market rather than the budget market," added Mr Lim.

    He disclosed that RWS would not stop at building just one more new hotel, given the vast potential in the mass-market tour-and-travel sector in the coming years.

    One possibility is to study the opportunities in Iskandar Malaysia, the economic region in Johor, which has the potential for more budget-style hotels, he said.

    "We look at Iskandar with excitement because, obviously, that's where lots of the budget hotel rooms can be located," he said.

    The Genting Highlands resort in Malaysia, for instance, has done much to reach out to the budget-conscious consumer, with some 8,000 hotel rooms available for that market alone, said Mr Lim.

    He added, however, that the overall shortfall in rooms here was not a problem unique to RWS; most hotels in Orchard Road and elsewhere are also feeling the strain. Some have already raised their room rates to cash in on the growing number of customers from the higher end of the mass-market segment from countries such as China.

    Meanwhile, it was a landmark day for RWS yesterday as it celebrated its grand opening, following its soft opening in January 2010.

    Its grand opening comes just two weeks after its Marine Life Park - the final piece of the S$7 billion resort - was launched to much fanfare.

    Since January 2010, the IR has welcomed more than 45 million guests who have visited its various attractions, such as South-east Asia's first Universal Studios theme park.

    And even with an uncertain global economic outlook, Mr Lim said, RWS expects to welcome 17 million visitors next year, up from the 16 million recorded this year.

    Mr Lim said: "In 2006, we began with a vision to build a destination resort like no other. Six years on, we have taken our vision into reality, and turned the page for Singapore's tourism story.

    "We stay committed to ensuring that RWS continues to be an exceptional destination."

    Yesterday's festivities were capped by a gala dinner last night, graced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

    The problem with transport capacity has got nothing to do with noise control Anyway LTA will be start installing noise barrier at Jurong East early next year, perhaps the barrier will extent to JLD.

    MRT noise is only a noise if you cant use it. If the mrt interchange is right at your door steps, it will be an asset for the project. Dont believe you can check out what is the transacted price for Centris at Jurong Point vs those further away from the track.

    * Another 20-km Jurong Region Line (JRL) will serve residents of Choa Chu Kang, Boon Lay and the future developments in the Tengah area. It will serve a diverse range of commuters by connecting these areas to main activity nodes in Jurong West including NTU, the Jurong Industrial estate including Jurong Island, and the future Jurong Gateway. Expected to be completed by 2025, JRL will enhance the intra-connectivity of the Jurong region and connect the region to the existing rail network for faster travel to the rest of the island. Commuters in the north will be also able to enter the Jurong region directly via the JRL, without having to interchange at the heavily-used Jurong East interchange.

    It definately can create and command a premium compared to other suburban districts which does not boost the same developments and potential.

    haha, when there is a distance from MRT, people will say, "how come this one so expensive, not sitting on MRT la".

    when a PC is sitting on MRT, people will say, "how come, so noisy, and lacks facilities, still so expensive!".

    Everything is expensive la

    resale price stagnant or not it not my concern as I am just highlighting that property near MRT station will always command a higher price as compare to those further away regardless of noise or not.

    MRT no longer asset? I think it is the opposite. with COE supply limited and restriction on car loan financing, more and more people will actually buy property near MRT station.

    Dont believe you can compare the take up rate of new launches near and far away from MRT station.

    •All 241 shops in the 76,000 square metre mall have been leased ahead of its opening in Q2 2013.
    •Jem® houses the first suburban outlets of international brands, including H&M, Books Kinokuniya and Victoria’s Secret.
    •The crown jewel of the West offers a convenient city shopping experience as it is connected to the Jurong East MRT station.

    Jem® by Lend Lease, Singapore’s 3rd largest suburban mall located in Jurong East, achieved 100% leased status for its 241 shops today.

    The mall boasts a stellar line-up of fashion, beauty, food & beverage and lifestyle tenants which have chosen to locate their first suburban outlet in Jem®. These include international and homegrown brands such as Robinsons, H&M, Victoria’s Secret, Shu Uemura, Paris Baguette, Marché Bar & Bistro, Spageddies, Shin Kushiya and Books Kinokuniya.

    Robinsons and H&M take prime spots in the mall with extensive shopfronts that cut across four and three levels of the mall respectively. Alongside these two anchor tenants, Cathay Cineplexes promises a premium theatre experience with ten screens that include two Platinum Suites, while Marks & Spencer and UNIQLO also boast double-storey stores to add to the amalgamation of fashion, lifestyle and entertainment options at Jem®.

    “We are elated to achieve 100% tenancy well ahead of the mall’s opening. With Jem’s vibrant retail mix, we are poised to offer shoppers a unique experience comparable to shopping in the city, right at their doorstep,” enthused Mr Chris Brown, Development Director of Jem®.

    Mr Afif Haddar, General Manager, Store Operations, from Sephora, one of the brands setting up its first suburban outlet in Jem®, said, “We chose to set up our first suburban outlet in Jem® because the mall’s positioning as a suburban mall that offers a downtown shopping experience appealed to us. We are confident that this unique quality of Jem® will facilitate our plans in extending our international brand experience to shoppers of new demographic groups.”

    Hiroshi Sogo, Group Managing Director of Books Kinokuniya Pacific Asia, shared the significance of the brand's new outlet at Jem®. “Our new store at Jem® marks a double celebration for Kinokuniya Singapore. It is the first time in 14 years that we are opening a new bookshop and it also serves to highlight our sustainable growth strategy as we commemorate our 30th anniversary in Singapore this year. With Jem's prime location at Jurong Gateway and its strong retail mix, we believe our store at Jem® will enable us to serve more book and magazine lovers for many years to come.”

    On the beauty front, global cosmetics stores Victoria’s Secret and Shu Uemura are also expanding their foothold to the Western part of Singapore, with the latter opening its first suburban standalone store at Jem®. Victoria’s Secret’s store interior features sophisticated elements such as black cherry fixtures, lit focal walls, a gallery of iconic black and white imagery, and a video wall featuring Victoria’s Secret Supermodel video footage, showcasing products in an environment that is sexy, sophisticated and forever young.

    Popular restaurant chains such as Marché Bar & Bistro, Din Tai Fung, Imperial Treasure Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Tei have also chosen to open new outlets at Jem®, offering their menu of delectable dishes that many have come to love. Marché Bar & Bistro will be bringing an exquisite selection of freshly prepared food and beverage to Jem®. Both wine and beer lovers will enjoy the quality wine and German beer selection specially imported by Marché.

    For everyday lifestyle needs, shoppers can look forward to seeing household brands such as FairPrice Xtra, Cookhouse by Koufu, as well as global lifestyle products store MUJI.

    With its wide spectrum of retail offerings and direct connection to Jurong East MRT station, Jem®, located at 50 Jurong Gateway Road, is slated to take shopping in the suburbs to a whole new level when it opens in Q2 2013.

    will they link the walkway between these malls? if yes, how long does it takes to walk from jcube to IMM or it still need a bus ride since many brought up malls as a selling point.
