Our next largest business district

Jurong Lake District will be developed into the largest mixed-use business district outside of the central area to support new growth and decentralization.  It will anchor economic activities in the western part of Singapore through a vibrant live-work-play environment. 

The development of JLD has advanced progressively over the years. Today, the area around Jurong East MRT interchange station has a critical mass of offices and homes which are well-served by a range of retail, healthcare and institutional uses.

In the next few years, the district will see more offices, homes, amenities and public transport facilities. For example, the Jurong Gateway hub, which is currently under construction next to Jurong East MRT station, will  comprise a bus interchange, offices, shops, a library, community centre and sports facilities when completed.

Located at the heart of Jurong East, the Integrated Transport Hub comprises civic and community institutions, retail amenities and an office tower on top of a bus interchange.

A new 120-hectare precinct will connect seamlessly to the existing commercial centre and MRT station via elevated pedestrian linkages and lushly planted streets. It will have a mix of offices, housing and amenities in a car-lite and park setting. With more flexibility in zoning, land tenure and phasing compared to other districts, companies can experiment with new development concepts and innovative ways to integrate live, work and play.

Jurong Lake District will be the focus of new development in the next two decades, with the government prioritising the sale of sites within the district.

A new, broad planning approach will be adopted for Jurong Lake District where flexi-use sites will be interspersed with business park uses. This will allow companies to locate all their activities and teams in one place. Large sites will give developers the flexibility to create scalable campuses tailored to business needs at competitive rents.

A dynamic ecosystem to grow your business

The West Region is also home to Singapore’s top two universities, providing a deep talent pool. Tuas Port, Jurong Innovation District and one-north are close by, making Jurong Lake District the ideal location to tap on academia for cutting-edge R&D, and to provide business and professional services to the maritime and high-value industries.

As the district grows, an ecosystem of innovation, collaboration and synergy within the region will emerge. Jurong Lake District will be a base for companies with strong Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) ambitions to tap on the West Region for opportunities in sustainability businesses.

By 2040 to 2050, Jurong Lake District will have 100,000 new jobs and 20,000 new homes, adding to the 1 million residents already in the West Region.

Fast connections to major hubs

Jurong Lake District is currently served by the existing North-South and East-West MRT lines. When the Jurong Region Line (JRL) and Cross Island Line (CRL) Phase 2 are completed around mid-2028 and 2032 respectively, JLD will be served by four rail lines.  This will provide JLD with excellent rail connectivity within the West region and to the rest of the island, including the city centre and the upcoming Changi Airport Terminal 5.

Construction to extend the CRL further west from JLD is expected to start in 2027, improving public transport connectivity to Jurong, Tuas and the western industrial areas. LTA has also announced plans for the West Coast Extension, which will extend the JRL to connect to CRL at the CR18 West Coast station by the late 2030s, and the Circle Line at Kent Ridge station by the early 2040s. This will reduce journey time between the West region and the city centre by up to 20 minutes.
