S'pore Lake District


URA

A jab of life to the very quiet Jurong areas from Jurong East MRT to Jurong Lake.

Known as Jurong Lake District, it consists of 2 precincts, namely Jurong Gateway and Lakeside. Under Master Plan 2008 Review (Draft), the areas will develop into a commercial hub and have edutainment attractions for the family. Total potential area is 360 ha.

The 70 ha Jurong Gateway (Jurong East MRT area) was identified under the Concept Plan 1991 (together with Tampines & Woodlands) to sustain S'pore's growth. It will have a good mix of office, retail, residential, hotel, entertainment, F&B, etc; and set to be the biggest commercial hub outside the city.

Over at Lakeside, new waterways or walkways may bring the lake closer to the commercial hub, and it will be developed into a major leisure destination for the family and tourists. A lakeside village of F&B, retail, entertainment and hotels will also be created.
