Untapped potential Jurong Lake District is one of three regional centres identified under the Concept Plan to provide attractive locations for commercial development outside the city centre. The aim is to cater to the diverse needs of businesses and to create job opportunities closer to where people live. Companies that set up their offices and businesses here will be able to: > Gain ready access to a large labour and customer pool from more than one million residents in the surrounding towns of Clementi, Bukit Batok, Jurong East and Jurong West > Enjoy close proximity to more than 3,000 MNCs and SMEs around the International Business Park and the Jurong and Tuas Industrial Estates > Tap on a large talent pool from the many surrounding tertiary institutions such as the Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, as well as research hubs such as One-North and the Science Park Connectivity Jurong Lake District is just about 20 mins from the CBD and the Tuas Second Link. It is well served by 2 major expressways (PIE and AYE), 2 major MRT lines (North-South and East-West), 3 MRT stations and a bus interchange. Capitalising on Natural Assets Jurong Lake District is the only regional centre with a lakeside setting and gardens right at its doorstep. These unexploited assets offer enormous opportunities– to transform the area from a sleepy expanse, into a place with life and activity amid pockets of respite. The Right Mix A diverse mix of uses has been planned for the area to meet the needs of businesses, workers, residents and visitors. There will be offices, shops, hotels, F&B, homes, sports and recreation facilities, civic and community institutions, parks and community spaces. Key Strategies: * Develop Jurong Gateway into an attractive commercial hub with an integrated network of pedestrian walkways between buildings and public amenities. * Create new and unique leisure destinations around Jurong Lake with edutainment attractions for the whole family. * Bring the Lake closer to Jurong Gateway through the introduction of possible new waterways and pedestrian linkages. * Heighten the sense of greenery with new landscaped malls, open spaces and park connectors and skyrise greenery.
