Shopping belt +
New business district with new office clusters +
New medical hub +
Edutainment facilities +
Jurong Lake Village +
New recreational facilities and high-end hotel clusters at a new waterway,
many of these elements that Orchard do not have, and will never have.
And bcos Jurong Gateway is not Orchard, that's why you can buy it at as low as $1400psf now. And the keyword is NOW bcos I am sure this price is never going to be anymore.
When you buy J Gateway, you are buying the confirmed future (yes you do not need a crystal ball for this because the government has done the favor for you) at an affordable price, NOW.
